Thanks Jordan! 
One note: the epoxy here is bonding MECHANICALLY at this point since you are pouring onto a completely cured epoxy surface (hence the need to sand before pouring new coat). The new pour would bond CHEMICALLY if pouring over epoxy that is still in the gel or "green stage" of the curing process (epoxy is till soft and cannot be sanded).
Love the videos!

I just love the thought of eating a bit of epoxy with every meal I make... ♥

Hi, thanks for the videos! An epoxy coated board shouldn't be used for cutting, as one will end up with epoxy residue in the food. What's your opinion on this?

Nice video and great job! Any pictures of the results? And mine is outside and I’m worried about what will end up falling on it. Do you have any recommendations for that? I can’t exactly take what I’m trying to do and put it inside. Could I take 2000 grit or higher to it to smooth it out and get that polished look?

The best and simplest video on fixing scratches i found. Thank you! Some videos it seems they want to keep a secret, then why do a how to?? You explained it perfectly however! Attaboy

My resin surface is about 2" thick with deep cracks down to almost the particles added for decoration. The table is over 35 years old and was left on sheltered patio in winter. Can this be repaired and how do you begin.

What if there are no scratches but the top coat did harden with a “oily residue “ instead of clean clear coat ? Which sandingrit do I need ?

[davidcole]

Hi mate. Love the work. Have a question. I want to flood coat the bottom of my board but do it with colour added. Will this work???? Thanks

I have made a river table. I sanded up to 400 grit but there are still scratches, no mater how much sanding i do. Should i re sand at 120 grit and put a clear coat of epoxy over it. Or will the scratches show up when i pour a clear top coat on it. Appricate any advice you can give me. Thanks

In 1 of my projects (cheers board) the epoxy sealing layer caught humidity and fog. Now that I want to finish it, first i need to fix that, but don't know what is the solution. I tried to attach photo, but unable to do so. Do u have any cure remedy for that or do I have to remove it and do it all over again?

Accidentally hit dislike when I tried to hit like!!! This was just the video I needed to fix my project, so many thanks to you!!!

Can this same process with Amazing Clear Cast be used to repair a casting done with Alumilite Clear Slow? I almost tried it but wasn’t sure if the two products would play well with each other or not..

[jfzoidberg]

Can this technique be used for spot repairs? I have a couple problem areas on a large desktop, but the rest of it was successful. Will sanding down those specific spots, cleaning them, and re-pouring in those areas do the trick? Will I have to buff out cloudiness or anything like that?

So I have very small scratches (can only see it in my shop where I have about 10 million lumens light) still I don't like to be able to see anything. I hear all about polishing epoxy resin... I can't imagine anything would shine more or be more clear than a fresh pour right??

[damienkoscinski]

I did a table top and it is slightly bumpy in a few spots can I just sand the spots with 150 grit and then just apply another layer over entire top? And when sending just sand the spots done or to the wood fully?

[HeliRy]

Is it possible to bond two pieces of cured epoxy this way? Kinda like using liberal amounts in similar fashion as wood glue for a panel glue up?
Trying to think of a good way to seamlessly bond two pieces, this is all I can really think of.

[IAMyamaha]

I have my top sanded down, with 220. And it's cloudy, but I'm adding another layer of epoxy, will that remove the cloudiness?

[davidcole]

Hi mate. Quick question please. Do you flood coat both sides?? If you didn't would one side dry out and warp???
