@briarcreekcreations3 жыл бұрын
You can repair small imperfections with Dremel tool and epoxy, but its far better to do plenty of seal coats, at least three or until no problems are showing up. When in doubt, do one more seal coat. Also keep room where pour is done as clean as possible and no moving air during pour and while drying.

You can apply a second seal coat while it is still tacky. If you apply while tacky do not sand between coats.

We have a sawmill that we cut some slabs to dry in our kiln and for others to build tables and such. I build spherical fire pits and chainsaw carve also. We are on facebook as Briar Creek Creations.

@briarcreekcreations2 жыл бұрын
If your talking about after we use the slab jig, we always have to sand because it leaves marks in the wood that must be removed to have a surface that is ready for a finish be it epoxy, oil or whatever.

@shaboo22 жыл бұрын
For once, a good woodworking video where I could actually listen to some good music! Some comments: 1. You mentioned that you now use a scratch resistant epoxy. Can you tell me what it is, and how well it works compared to countertop epoxy? 2. You mentioned that you sometimes use Odie's oil, which is a penetrating oil. Why would you use a penetrating oil that goes on top of epoxy which is non-porous? I don't personally like the ultra shiny finish that epoxy gives and I've been trying to find the right top coat to use that I could apply to BOTH bare wood AND epoxy. Any suggestions? 3. Lastly, I have found that my Dremel has become one of the most used items in my shop. If you search, you'll be able to find flap sanding wheels that will work better for you on sanding the edges of your tables. They make them either shaped like tubes (with about 1 inch diameter), or cones. The grits are usually 80 or 120. Dremel does not sell them. For carving or crack "enhancement" I try to find bits that are carbide and I have found bits that are much better than what Dremel sells. I don't have a single source I just search the web. It's worth a try - you can thank me later!
@briarcreekcreations2 жыл бұрын
Hello!…and thanks for watching! The music is straight out of IMovie and they actually have some good music that works for us. As far as a scratch resistant top, we like the Ultimate topcoat by stonecoat countertops. We put it on top of their regular and casting epoxies for a durable finish that looks great in matte or gloss. We like the matte best because your looking at the wood not the reflection of the lights and ceiling. We do use oil sometimes on top of epoxy if i carve a bowl and have to fill a void with epoxy or like a console table with epoxy filled voids or a river but the customer wants an oil finish on the wood..We just 220 sand the epoxy with the wood and the oil clears it up and makes it shine.I love my dremel! Use it for fine finish work on chainsaw carved bears and bowls. Also for cleaning out hard to reach places before an epoxy fill. I will be looking into the sanding wheels, thanks! Again, thanks for watching and enjoy your shop time!
