Epoxy is a thermoset plastic so once it's hard heat won't be able to turn it back to a liquid state whereas acrylic is a thermoplastic so heat can melt it and let it self-level on the surface. Simon B. Sc. Eng. composite material fabrication

Acrylic is a thermoplastic. You can re-melt it, which is really easy to do at the sanded face level. Epoxy is a thermoset. You can soften it if you raise the temp higher than the cure temp, but you cannot "melt" it. It will be pliable and then it will burn. You have to buff it out.

I've personally done probably 50+ Bar top resturants' bar tops and epoxy pours and every couple of years came back and done re-pours over a 20 year span for mostly the same clients/ bar owners in multiple states and abroad. One thing Ive learned through oit the years, especially in the construction phase of bar build outs is always work from the finishes backwards and complete all the prepwork in structual/ weight loads, low maintenance, water proof materials ect... the mistake on having to add brackets supports and most likely no solid backing should have been addressed by the G.C. in the framing phase . A couple 4x4 Pt stud posts @ multiple locations and marked locations on a set of asbuilt plans and alot of photos of the framing w/ Dimension spec locations is cheap and a huge time and cost saver. As for your video, a very excellent quality professional job done w/very well thought professionalism. Your company represents our trades very well. Just a suggestion : the Equipment Jacks you used I've used setting 1,000lb marble columns to lift up to 2nd floor locations. They were a back saver and I doubted the main stairs would support the weight w / just 1 column and 6 to 8 mens weight on top of that. Strap your material and use multiple lifts. A little trick I did was lay a 3/4 plywood runner coarse on the floor @ the front end wheels to compensate for the weight of my materials tipping the Jacks down. Thank you again for a great video. Always a joy seeing the youth take great pride in the trades. We are a dying breed these days

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe epoxy resin doesn't flame polish because it doesn't really melt in the conventional sense. It will soften and get flexible, but from my own experience and the research I've done, it doesn't really re-liquify because of its nature as a thermosetting polymer as opposed to acrylic which is a thermoplastic polymer (technical jargon, but it just means that they are molecularly different from one another, and have different properties as a result, i.e. how they each behave when subjected to high heat)
