How To Make A Swirl Effect In An Epoxy Resin River Table [By An Expert]

Brandon, woodworker and expert resin artist at CVCF, shows you how to create the subtle (or not so subtle) "swirl" effects in the resin poured down a river table.
For this part of the process, you will need:
Your live edge slabs securely clamped to your workspace
Already mixed two-part epoxy resin poured between two fitted slabs
4-6 hours of time settled
A handheld blowtorch

Great video - thanks for the explanation. I've had trouble with keeping the swirls. I've often let it sit overnight, then do swirls yet then I have bubble coming up. Very frustrating.

What pigment did you use and was there mica in it?

What pigment did you use to get the whitish streaks through the blue?

Can you tell me how to remove rein from the wood after the pour as I have some that has gone on the wood! Thanks
