Next, ensure you are able to keep the project at room temperature while the River Table Epoxy Project cures. Changes in temperature and/or excessively cool or hot environments alter the epoxy resin.
You will need: Gloves, Ear protection, eye glasses, dust mask, hammer, heat gun or hand torch, straight edge, (50, 60, 120, 220 grit sandpaper), Torch, Mixing Buckets, Chop Brush, Paint Sticks for Mixing, Shower Squeegee, Sand Paper, Form Boards, Tyvek Tape, Mohawk Fil-Stik (color specific), River Table Epoxy, SuperGloss Clear Top Coating, Flowart Liquid Pigments (Desired Color)
IF you still have 1 big slab of wood and you are converting it into a river table with the live edge on the inside… Use a straight edge and mark where you will be cutting the wood slab in half.
Recommended Pour Settings:
DO NOT DUMP ALL THE BOTTLES INTO A BUCKET AND EXPECT IT TO BE MEASURED PERFECTLY. ALWAYS CONDUCT YOUR OWN MEASUREMENTS.
Before mixing any epoxy resin, be ready to get the mixed product out of the container (bucket) before. We do not want to let the mixed epoxy resin sit in the bucket for more than a minute. Each minute it sits, it gets wamer and warmer. This rise in temperature will continue and ultimately create issues at the end of the curing process. IE: cracking, splitting, yellowing...
One 4-gallon kit mixed and layed out in a 1" - 2" setting is ideal. Yes, deeper is possible.
One 8-gallon kit mixed and layed out in a 1" setting is manageable too.
12 Gallons Kits should not be poured in one setting unless layed out quickly in an 1" below setting. Deeper settings can create too much heat with possible cracking.
Measure approximately 1oz. per sqft of our SuperGloss Clear Top Coating. Mix for 3-5 minutes max. Pour out and apply with a squeegee. Used a gloved hand to get the coating on the edges.
Apply our Super Gloss - Clear Top Coating. Mix it thoroughly for 3-5 minutes with a stir stick. Scrape the edges multiple times with a stir stick.
Let that baby dry and cure rock hard.
