Love your transparency about your errors. As a wood worker myself, when I began I thought everyone did everything perfect the first time. After making a few mistakes its easy to get down on yourself as you think only you are having these problems. Transparency like this helps people big time.

I really like that you are willing to show your mistakes and how to fix them. That is actually very good information! So many of these people showing their epoxy projects are not showing their failures or their repairs. They make it look unrealistically easy.

'I do not want you to make mistakes I did'. Excellent advice. Thank you Bro being frank and straight forward. All the best.

Helpful tip for seal coats and problem areas like that, warm up the epoxy first in hot water to make flow almost like water. Gets in every nook and void quicker and easier to releases the bubbles faster before the resin sets up. Also had good success torching a crevice tool and speed setting the epoxy in small holes that won't stop gassing in my seal coats. Keep up the great and informative videos. For all the newbies to live edge 3 seal coats minimum or more till the bubbles stop

You just made me relax over my last issue that things are fixable thank you for the low stress method! Appreciate this!

Just wanted to thank you man, your one of the few that break it down in depth for us beginners!

I did a live-edge bar top with an epoxy resin and at first I got a few bubbles. After sanding it down I did a lot of research and tried a new method. After pouring & squeegeeing, I used a heat gun on it, very lightly. You could watch the bubbles disappear, it levelled out real nice, and it was the best finish I've ever had.

Good video with easy explanation. Wished I'd seen before I started my project.

Excellent video! Very helpful for a beginner in epoxy pouring.

great video thanks from NJ. my table is fairly large and the epoxy is quite expensive so rather not pour another top coat. this worked great, thanks!

Very cool, I was wondering how to repair this stuff. And props on the one man show. Subscribed!

I’m telling you . This will be a life saver for my issues with resining my mixed media painting . Good thing I’m planning to do the area with the issue in matte finish . Another you tube lady doing counters showed how to sand down the area to be even with the rest of the piece . The lowest disc I have is 320. My other lower ones are too coarse. Don’t have 220, so hopefully 320 will be good. Practicing on a scrap tun off piece of art resin. Nice table by the way. They look fun to make. Hopefully when covid is over I’ll look for a local class teaching how to make river tables. Anyway. Your tips is saving me grief over a spot where the resin resisted the resin layer below . Gives me hope for my piece and pocket book.

Thank you ! just did my first pour missed a few bubbles. Needed that advice

Thank you very much for show your work! Subscribed! Best regards from Argentina.

I know I am late to the comment party, but so thankful for this video. I just watched the video (all 4 parts) on delivering the table. When I saw it go out I was like oh no the holes!!! I know it is no fun having to redo things, but glad I caught this right after the last video. Great Job!

Hey man thanks for your expertise in solving my problem...great help!!

Great video man. I'm making my first epoxy table next month and this video realy makes me more confident knowing that I can fix it if I happen to make a mistake and trap air bubbles.

Awesome video, thanks. Those bubbles were driving me crazy! LOL!

Great video, thank you! I have this exact problem with my table and was stressing about how to fix it. Now I see it's fairly easy. Also, where is the video for doing the satin finish? I looked but can't seem to find it. Thank you.

Great video and easy to understand explanations. I can’t find the video on how to make it a satin finish?

Thanks for the tips Nathan!

Thank you !!!! You helped me a lot !! 👏👏👏👏

Thanks for the tips, now just have to wait till summer to be able to fix the bubbles on mine.

This channel is great! You made our first project come out almost perfect and if we had followed your tips to the letter it probably would have been perfect. However, we have a spot that we cooked the epoxy with the heat gun and the reaction ran away on us and we got some massive deep bubbles. welll 1/4" deep and maybe a 4"x6" area. Can I just take a router bit and router out that little section and re-pour? How do I prep the routered hole?

Nathan, i used this technic on my first river pour table. I could not figure out how to get rid of divots that kept showing up and I followed your steps and it turned out wonderfully. Thanks for taking the time to show this process. I could not find anyone else that offered this solution. enjoy your presentations. By the way, did you get the mouse???

I enjoyed your fixing, goid job! How do you get tiny pin hole bubbles out?

Thank you for your advies , greating to the mouse🐭 from holland😁

Great overview and sharing what to avoid

Thanks for the tip dude,, I tried my hand at the epoxy art for the first time and I think it turned out pretty good!!

Dude you crack me up. Thanks for the video

Hi NathenI hope you're fine ? thank you for the video it was rewarding. I only want to have an idea about the products for polishing to have transparency at the end of the project and thanks in advance 😊

Great videos. There are always imperfections. How do you eliminate bubbles below the surface, or can we get a video on routing out a string of bubbles? Idea would be to add some offsetting colors. thanks

Im currently doing an outside bar top, my seal coat went surprisingly flawless except 1 spot where the heat gun was kept too long on a problem area causing that spot to Hyper harden, having not seen a video YET of approving an outdoor pour the outside temp humidity plus potential bugs, floating dabree in the air, and continous inspection for the 1st 6 hours and keeping the epoxy cool with fans it went pretty good, looking to final pour very soon after sanding and fixing this problem section. Thanks for the advice. Its an 8ft bar made of pallets on wheels 😮 the top itself is made up of 485 triangles 🔺️ placed in a "Harlequin" pattern, cross my fingers it will be funtional, seats 10 and hope it turns out just a beautiful as the indoor models, im not into videoing my LIFE or how toos, its a learning experience.

Your new mouse buddy is going to become an epoxy pro watching you work. Can't wait to subscribe to his channel.

Thank you SOOO much for this lesson! I thoroughly my table was ruined because of bubbles from not sealing oak wood. Btw, what is the best way to seal wood?

thank you for the video. Is always see a technique from different ways of doing something.. thank you

Enjoy the video very helpful what do you use to seal the wood I'm just starting out what's a good epoxy to use for pours

I just did my first Resin project, a wine barrel top, deep pour 2", We had a blow out so lost most of the deep pour resin. I would say that we have 1/4 of the pour in the top. We have lots of bubbles and have embedded cork in a pattern as well. My question is, can i fill in my holes once sanded as you did, with the deep pour resin? We will be doing another pour once all the cracks are sealed. thinking of sealing cracks with clear Gorilla Glue whats your opinion?

Thank you for making this video!

There is always time to redo it. For free!!! Good fix. I've never tried a spot fix before. I keep adding seal coats until it's looking good or I sand and put down a second flood coat.

These are great tips for saving an expensive project! Great work! (and nice hat!) We wanna see the yacht this table is going to!

I just did my first table, and did a mistake in the end, after the flood coat, I just poured some epoxy zigzag thinking it would level but it didnt and cured like that. As I don't have more epoxy on hand right now, so can I just wet/dry sand and buff it to glossy surface?

Can you share the link for the satin finish you were talking about?

Ty much for this video.

Thank you!!

It would have been nice too see not only how to fixe it, but how did it look after you fixed and project was finished.

Always like your vids. Keep going.

Amazing video.... How do you clean the holes? I can't seem to clean them there is dust inside i guess... Will it fade out with the pour?

Great video . I'm doing my first charcuterie board . Small void in the black walnut . Filled it with a red resin . The area around the void has a dark stain to it now . Should I be able to sand that out so that just the filled void area is left? Or is my piece stained for good (bad) ? Thanks

Thank you it's really help

If the bubbles are in epoxy that I colored blue, should I try to match the repair epoxy with the same dye to match? I don't think it will be exact. Can I do the repair with clear?

Random question..... how do you heat your shop? Your shop looks similar to mine and currently mine is freezing cold and it makes it hard to work out there for long periods of time. And the table looks great! Love the color!

I notice I have tiny chunks of epoxy after my table dried, do I use the same technique as you did for the bubbles?

Great tip, after bubbles are filled and table is sanded what would you put over the whole table to get that gloss finish back?

What does the temperature need to be? What is a seal coat, do you use the same epoxy

Thanks.subscribed. what is the sealer you forgot to do? Skipped step doing what? Like waxing?

I was wondering how you fix air bubbles. Thanks for the tipth

It seems half the people say seal coat leads to a weak bond between wood and epoxy and others say not sealing leads to issues like this. Have you ever had any cracking or strength issues by seal coats?

Please tell me what grit you used to sand it down. I've tryed 80 grit and it seems like it sand what sealer I put on...next pour more bubbles. Help me please!

Wow great job

I have a question. I have 3 coats down now and have about 6 little bumps ,like maybe dust particles. Can I just sand and repair those spots or do I have to do a complete coverage not just the spots ? Thank. I really enjoy your videos

ok? do you flood coat again at the end after the holes are filled? How do you get the shine back at the end?

Love your dog......

What if it’s on the edge of the countertop? My problem is it keeps dripping. Should I form it ?

When doing the seal coat, do you use the coating resin or casting resin please?

What Polish Compound do you use to Buff the Table. Can I Polish over 320 Grit or Do I Have to go to a Higher Grit Before Buffing. Tim

Hello sir how can i make epoxy resin & hardener.use for rounded Ball shape Coating

Thanks for the information. Did you put another seal coat on then another flood coat? Or did you just put the flood coat on? Thanks

Hello, I’m enjoying your work. I laid some epoxy on a table top and keep having bubbles appear in same area. How long after poring can I continue to use heat gun to pop the bubbles?

After your first seal coat try a burn -n- stick for the stubbern air holes, Mike has a few videos on that and it works,

How long do you wait between seal coats? Like your videos. Thanks

I have 3 coats of poly and many tiny pin head bubbles. Can I sand the off the bubbles and what grit would work? I really dont want to sand whole finish off and reapply the poly. Thanks!

Thanks, I really diD a Jon on my pour.

How would you do this if it were bubbles in spar varnish?

I’ve had to sand down a table top used 220 grit and now it looks like a white haze even after wiping down with alcohol. I want to add another coat of epoxy. Can I go ahead and put on this new coat or do you suggest I sand with a different grade of paper? Also will this white haze disappear?

Thanks man.. and it sucks when is about to get solid epoxy lolo... bro by any chance do you do lives stream?

After filling those spots , can't we finish it gloss. Does that repair be seen on gloss finish that is why the solution is to finish satin?

Did you drill out the bubbles and refill them?

What do you use to seal

Hey is there a finished product video for these videos??

Fist time doing epoxy table. Is using a squeegee needed or could you just skip that and sand down the area after cured?

Ended up with a small bunch of bubbles but not next to the wood. In the middle of epoxy. Wasn't there after the pour, even 24 hrs after but 48 hrs and boom. I am using router sled to reflatten and take access off. Hopefully that takes care of bubbles.

Thanks for the video. I have a spot that cured to fast and had lots of deep bubbles. Do you know what caused that? Thanks

What is the difference between casting and counter top resin? I live in 🇬🇧 and haven’t seen “counter top” resin on Amazon. I used one on my counter top (probably casting resin) and there are too many pit holes after it dries.

Can you use CA glue to fill a bubble in your seal coat or should you fill the bubble with epoxy? Thanks

Hey, if you have a transparent resin and there are bubbles everywhere. Is it possible to fix it, or make it less visible?

I normally use map gas and swing it back and forth, it normally makes the bubbles rise to the top and pop right away.

What do you mean by seal coat? Super thin coat of epoxy? Polyurethane? Shellac? Help

Do you have to sand the entire thing or can you focus on the affected area? And did you wet sand or dry sand. Think i missed you saying anything about it.

What if I wanted to do a high gloss finish afterwards?

What was the cause of this? I just had some people lay epoxy on my cement floor and I have hundreds of those little bubbles. They said they sprayed it with denatured alcohol after. Not sure why this happens tho

That's a good doggie!

When will the satin finish video be posted?

Hello. Ive been working on an epoxy project and I was wondering if you have any tips. I torched the epoxy I think too long. It isnt burnt but the bubbles are white and hardened. Do you have any suggestions?

Sanding my epoxy resin table, to many imperfections! Now I have many white dots all over, thinking these are more closer to the serfice, I don't have an air compressor to blow them out, canned air doesn't seam to clean them out! I really need help!

I didn’t have enough resin for my kitchen table so I added Polyurethane and it’s bad any suggestions

Thx awesome

Do u have to sand the whole thing if you have like minor lint bumps?

How thick was that pour? Do you remember what temperature it was in your shop as the table was curing?

Hi couldn’t you just scrape the all surface a few millimeters and redue the all surface with epoxy? Thanks for the video...
