You did a fabulous job! One question, I saw how you squirted paint or tint into the cups...is there any issues with adding too much color and affecting how the resin sets up? Thanks again, do more of these!

@diyhuntress 3 жыл бұрын

Glad this was helpful! Not too many issues with too much paint... just have to make sure it's mixed well and that the ratio of resin still allows it to cure properly.

I'm using Mixol Universal Tints Oxide White #25 and MAS Table Top resin and hardener. Any ideas on why it's so thin?

Love your stuff! I tried this today and at first it looked great but all of the colour and resin seem to run off the edges even though I made sure it was level. Any thoughts on why? I sanded it to 600 first...was that my mistake? Was the wood too smooth? Please help. What I was left with is very pale and washed out.

@diyhuntress 3 жыл бұрын

Hi! You may need to pour thicker layers and add more color to each layer. I’d also recommend sanding to maybe 120/220 max before adding the resin so it has a lot to grab onto. Another thing to be mindful of is where the resin is traveling to once it poured. You may have to play around with an unlevel piece if too much is falling off the edge. Hope this helps!

The boards that I've seen, the epoxy is raised on the board. Would it not be ideal to sand the area where you want to pour your epoxy and make that section a bit lower than the part that will remain wood? That way your epoxy will be level with the wood and no ridge. Just a thought.
