I have a really dumb question. I would like to make a table and include some of my cd’s that I’ve collected over the years. How would I best encapsulate the cd’s and incorporate them into the pour with as clear as results as the copper pieces you used here? Obviously I’m also worried about the epoxy seeping into the case, would it ruin the paper, if so? Sorry for the newbie questions. I’m just looking into this for the first time.Thank you in advance if you have any advice.

Have you done a lot of epoxy boards with live ammo?

[@unraue]

You're the first one I've seen that does the deep pour right over everything and then the top coat on that. Usually people just deep pour up to the top of the wood, do their planing / sanding then, then do the top coat. Can you explain the advantages / disadvantages of how you did it and would you do it that way on a bigger project?

[@CarrieAnnibal]

I have a table that I am working on right now and would like to know the same thing. It would be great if he would answer the questions people have. 🤨

[@johncassidy897]

Hey buddy love the project I am actually about to start a project with military theme for my brother, xmas present. this will be a first for me beside a table I did years ago that was just screwing around. I will be using a paper camo print out for a background, i was thinking pouring a thin coat and laying the camo print out in it letting it dry and that pouring a thin coat over that to seal it. once that's dry i was going to super glue the patches, bullets and supplies to the cured resin and doing a deep pour over the top of that maybe 2 inches. is there something i should be doing in-between layers, will they adhere together good. is there any advice you can give me on the project all together im in about 600 bucks and i really dont have the budget to screw up and start again. any advice would be greatly appreciated. i have a mock up pic if your interested to get a general idea. Thank you

[@drawnoutdoorstv]

How long do you let the first pour cure before the second pour?

[@bradleycoon3587]

I want to do something like this but with cork. If I do a thin layer first and then deep pour how long do I have to wait between layers? Then do I have to sand them between layers?

[@upstartepoxy4804]

Hi Bradley! 👋Y es, you need to sand them between layers for adhesion. For the thin layer first, you can wait for 6-9 hrs before you can pour the flood pour using Deep Pour. Then after pouring the deep pour, you need to wait until 72 hours to cure, depending on your ambient conditions.

[@johndowns4161]

if the objects are not clean or old then what should you spray on them say they are old vintage and you can't clean them

[@bmfilm3306]

nice video, if I wanted to embed my sculptures which are quite big 35x40x55cm is that possible with this epoxy? what should I use as case (to prevent heat) and how thick my pour layers should be? thanks

[@upstartepoxy4804]

Embedding sculptures would be a good idea! You need to build your form/case first for your mold. Deep Pour can fill in up to 2" or more. If you need your project to have resin that is 4 inches thick, or maybe six inches, all you have to do is work in 2in increments - which means you can only pour two inches at a time, let that completely harden, then do two more.

[@oxhid3]

@@upstartepoxy4804 Thanks a lot, how long it take to fully cure between layers? thanks

[@upstartepoxy4804]

@@oxhid3 Table Top for SuperGloss Coating’s working time is 20-30 minutes, tack-free time is 6-8 hours, and cured at 24. For Deep pour, 6 hours working time and 72 hours cure time depending on ambient temperature, humidity, and thickness!

[@dodgygoose3054]

Is epoxy UV resistant? long lasting?

[@giovanniguerrero8951]

Question.. I see people using polish and wax after making their pieces to make it see-through. Is this just another method? Adding gloss/table top epoxy? And would it differ with using it over wood as well?

[@upstartepoxy4804]

Yes, it's one way of making your piece see-through especially if you're casting clear. If it's applied to the wood, it will seal in everything and it makes sure there’s no line or rigid area and your base layer, it’s all one smooth, glossy surface.

[@NR-ur1dn]

Hoping to ask a question. I have a wood box that I wanted to put some shoes and other decorations in and then pour resin over the whole thing. Is that something doable or am I starting out way too complex?

[@dartme18]

Wow, sounds cool! You'll need a lot of resit to cover shoes, but sounds fun! Let us know how it turns out!

[@upstartepoxy4804]

It's doable! You will need the Deep pour for this type of project. You just need to measure your wood box to figure out how much resin is needed for your project! Contact us at [e-mail] to discuss more, this sounds like a blast to make!

[@AbsoluteShowerDoors]

Great job and video! Question, I saw you were doing a 1-1 ratio on your resin pour and mixed 64 oz total. But in the video you measured 42 oz of part 1 and used part two to get to 64 oz total. Is it not that critical getting the exact 1-1 ratio on this kind of thing?

[@221b-Maker-Street]

You've conflated two things here. The _first_ part of the pour uses the pewter _Casting_ Resin, which is 1-1 by volume. He measured both parts to 16oz at timestamp 1:47 Halfway through (timestamp 7:09), he switched to Clear Coat _Deep Pour_ Resin, which has a different ratio of 2-1 because it's a different kind of resin, poured to a different depth. The second resin is a *2 to 1 ratio,* so if he wanted 64oz in total of Deep Pour, that would involve 42.5oz of Pt 1, and 31.5oz of Pt 2, which is exactly what he used! So yes, accurate measurements are vital. Did you skip part of the video, perhaps?! 🤔

[@danielleg1907]

What tape did you line the box with?

[@upstartepoxy4804]

Hi Danielle, we use sheathing tapes like Tyvek or Tuck tapes to prevent the table from sticking to the form.

[@jeffrall6863]

Nice Job, are those dummies rounds? I have been told that epoxy can get hot enough to fire a round of Live ammo. Thanks

[@upstartepoxy4804]

Not at all. Although epoxy would exotherm to the extent it may draw smoke but only if you left a massive quantity in the mixing container for an extended period of time and never poured or was dipping things into it.

[@meme2363]

If you’re pouring something that will take several pours due to the depth, how to you ensure the color will match exact? I need to put transparent blue for a water scene but I’m not sure how to get the different batches to be 100% the same shade of blue.

[@dartme18]

Good luck, dude! Let us know how it turns out!

[@danielleg1907]

Measure out your colorant on the first mix then replicate it

[@upstartepoxy4804]

You can add the blue color in small amounts, and start with an eighth of a teaspoon and add gradually while mixing! Measure your pigments on the first mix then duplicate it to ensure your colors will match! 🎨

[@221b-Maker-Street]

By following a recipe - in the same way that you ensure a cake always rises and comes out the same every time - you measure your ingredients. I'm not sure I understand your question otherwise - I'd have thought measuring would be an automatic first step, unless you were thinking of doing it by eye? Suggest you get yourself a set of digital scales with a _tare_ button, and note the weight difference (in tenths of a gram) once you've add your pigment in your first round. Bon chance! 🇫🇷

[@edkorsberg6441]

Great video. You said "send us your project ideas..." How would we do that? via this KZbin channel or some other direct contact? I am thinking of doing an Intarsia wood carving a tropical fish tank. Basic dimensions are 12x14". The bottom of the art will be either solid wood or birch plywood with maybe a light airbrush to simulate blue water, Then the various fishes, corels, shells, seaweed will all be hand carved pieces of hard woods like Redheart, Yellowheart, Apsen, Wenge, Bubinga, cherry etc rising above the base maybe 1/4 to 1/2". I would like to encase the pieces in clear epoxy so the depth of the pour is modest, well under 1". I take it I would need to create some kind of form around the art work, pour, wait and then some sanding to cleanup followed with the finish coat which ideally results in a crystal clear tank. After than I may build another wood frame to encase the whole project. I have not done epoxy work before thus watching these videos. But I worry that maybe the expensive hand card exotic art project might get altered when encased in epoxy. So any suggestions are helpful

[@urbanart7325]

Can I use color inks for coloring the resin?

[@221b-Maker-Street]

If you mean _alcohol_ inks - yes you can, but they're a *dye* not a pigment, so they're fugitive. Acrylic inks, yes - but strictly no more than 10% water-based products as it will affect your cure. Best stick to either pigment liquid, paste, or powder for a stable colour.

[@brianleabo6295]

Is their any problems when you use live ammo? Can you just use a heat gun ?

[@upstartepoxy4804]

Hi Brian! We recommend only using casings. Not bullets/live ammos. Yes, you can use a heat gun.

[@maureennelson5240]

Did you have to add a second layer of deep pour or no?

[@upstartepoxy4804]

You can add a second layer if the wood absorbs and the epoxy level drops.

[@jaredmartin6164]

Do you need to use casting resin first or can you do the deep pour in two batches?

[@unlcelew]

What kind of alcohol did you use and what was the percentage?

[@upstartepoxy4804]

Hi Lewis, we use denatured alcohol. As to the percentage, it depends but we recommend starting just small amounts.

How long do you have to wait for the resin to be able to support an object on it if you’re doing something really small

[@upstartepoxy4804]

Cure time is approximately 72 hours, based on ambient conditions. For best results, do not use it for one week, until it has reached its full strength.
