    Next step is to bring it back to the business we got the Slabs from . He has a very large CNC router table. For 90$ he will flatten it . My guess is he will need to skim about a 1/8” from the top and bottom . Hopefully that will take care of the over flow . Getting closer . Next step for...

    Epoxy River Table advice

    From the little bit I’ve learned . Deep pours take 4/5 days to cure out . So if I do half a pour it should be just tacky the next morning. Tacky is ok to pour over if it drys to the touch let it cure out then sand the poop out of it before another layer .

    Epoxy River Table advice

    Kind of hard to explain. Basically I positioned the Slab in the table where I expected it to be . I then traced the outline of the river so when I lifted the slab up and put a block under it . This will give me enough room to apply a small bead of caulk along the outline. I will do this to...

    Epoxy River Table advice

    Everyone will have to tell me if I’m Nuts or if you think this will work . I built a frame and set it on the bucket toppers. Then I built a 9ft-4” long table with 4” sides . I still have some caulking to do and I might tape over all the corners. Should be ready soon for the pour .
