400 Beer Bottle Caps + 1 Resin Bottle = Table

We collected bottle caps from around the world and wanted to incorporate them into a resin/epoxy table. So we took all the paint off the old table and coated it in Art Resin epoxy. This will act as the base layer for the bottle caps to stick to. I then applied 4 more layers of epoxy throughout the week and let them dry. For the sharp corners, I simply used a sander to smooth out the rough spots, and a router to give the edge a nice curve.

This turned out great. I didn't think with the multiple layers of resin it would be so clear but wow. Good job. My kind of table...

Hey Joe! Wow, that turned out great! Love the pattern of the caps. I always wanted to try something like this with either caps, pennies, or guitar picks would be neat. Hope you are doing well!

@JoeMakes 3 жыл бұрын

Thanks Steve! I bet you have more guitar picks than we had caps. That would look cool. Doing well over here, and looking forward to WBC to catch up with you in person! Hope things are good on your end as well

When your caps are set use a coloured waterproof tile grout to fill in between the gaps let it set will save you a ton in epoxy just then do a flood coat

Is the table in the sun? just wondering if it changed color (yellow) over time outside. I'm looking to make a similar table. Great work.

@JoeMakes Жыл бұрын

Thanks! Yeah, they had put it outside, but I recommend to keep it indoors because almost every thick resin will yellow. However, over the years it hasn't yellowed or cracked, and still looks great. Have fun!

How much epoxy resin did use for this one? I have bottle caps collected and same sized table, so was wondering how much of epoxy should i buy.? Also, would it make a difference if you poured all the resin all at once instead of doing it layers?

@JoeMakes 2 жыл бұрын

Hey Disha, I used about 1 liter of resin, but depends on the size of your table. And yes, you should pour just a little to begin with to make the bottle caps stick. Otherwise they will float to the top. Also, resin needs to be poured in small layers so it wont have an exothermic reaction and get hot. Hope this helps!

Great but why not using hot gluegun to stick them to the table and they put the epoxy
