  • Polishing paste to make surface glossy

And you are all good to go!

Step 1: Prepare the wood

The important things to keep in mind while cutting the wood:

  • Maintain even thickness
  • Cut to the right length and angle and divide in the middle
  • Advised to keep the ‘natural look’ of the wood to give it a rustic appearance (use reclaimed wood to achieve natural cuts and creases).
  • Must thoroughly remove the bark

Now first comes drying the wood such that it is sufficiently less than 12%. Then you saw it lengthwise in half to the same length as a circular saw. With a planning tool even out the thickness of both the wood pieces. Then sand all of the wood to complete this step.

Step 2: Seal the wood and fill the cracks

Use transparent resin to level the uneven and porous surface. To do the same for the edges of the wood resin table, seal it with a stable adhesive tape before sealing to make sure the resin does not flow over the edges.

Generously coat the wood and let it dry out at 18°C to 24°C for at least 5 hours. Sandpaper the rest of the resin when curing is complete.

Step 3: Build your mold for the epoxy resin tabletop

Things to watch out for:

  • To maintain shape, use 15mm MDF boards at the bottom and sides at prayer.
  • Side panels must be 10mm higher than the required height of the tabletop.
  • Use clear sanitary silicone to seal edges.

Apply release agent into a finished mold with utmost care and caution to prevent problems while removal of the resin table. This may be done by completely gluing the mold with tape or spraying it with Teflon spray (three layers).

Step 4: Fixing the wood and mold together

Insert the wood and push it into place, hold it down with several parallel clamps. It is crucial to not pull the barrier too close to the edge so that the resin be poured it cleanly. Use caulk for this step.

Step 5: Mixing Epoxy raisin giving it a suitable color

In this step, protection is very important as you will deal with a hot of hot materials. Mix the resin with a sufficiently large bucket. Make sure to stick to the ratio recommended by the manufacturer. After this, remove air bubbles stuck within with a heat gun but be attentive to not damage the resin.

Next comes the part we have been waiting for! Adding color. The ratio should be 1:1.5 where 1 is the liquid color pigment and 1.5 is the metallic color pigment. Make a circular motion to achieve a watery look while pouring the metallic pigment. Then let everything harden according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

Step 6: Sanding the epoxy resin table

For this, you first need to separate the mold from the cast tabletop using a soft hammer and chisel. Be careful as to not damage the tabletop and edge slabs. After removing the hardened resin, sand the tabletop, such that no more resin is visible on the wood. Also, you can perfectly smooth the edges of the tabletop before standing with a circular saw.

Step 7: Final Touches

Get rid of the little scratches during the standing process (use a buffing machine for better results). You can polish the surface with a polishing machine. Oil the tabletop to protect the wood and give it a smooth appearance without too much of a shine. Apply with a soft cloth evenly on the surface.
