Finally, someone who compares epoxy vs wax finish.

I’ve watched countless videos of epoxy pours. Glad the tubes finally suggested your channel! I’ll be back for sure.

The CA fix for pin holes is great. I use CA for a lot of little detail fixes

I have never used epoxy. I've asked people questions about it and tools to use, never get a very good answer. You covered a lot in such a short time. I've subscribed in the hope that I can learn more and use it in the future. Thanks.

How do you clean the paddle mixer after finishing? Or do you use a new one each time?

[ryanhanslo]

Great video guys! Two questions how do you clean your paddle mixer? And how do you clean your mixing bucket? I've tried like crazy but can't clean them well enough to re-use. Any tips would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

[StevenDavisPhoto]

Thanks! How do you clean the epoxy off the paddle mixer? I have the same one and it's really annoying. I usually just use wooden paint stir sticks for smaller pours.

[carbonyle]

Great video! I’ve used the AKFix 705 glue before and the only comment I would make is that it works with powder dyes but not with liquid dyes…or at least not with the ones I’ve tried!

[jameltc]

Your designs and "how to" vids have been amazing and a big help. Looking forward to the Rubio Monocoat vid, I think my expectations were too high or I did something wrong on my last table. The sheen you had on this table was just right, my was a little lackluster. Why is the oil finish not ideal for clear epoxy? And is there a brand that is ideal or is it all oil finishes?

[johnsteib]

Great tutorial and great products! I watched part one and kept watching subsequent videos because I need more information about measuring. In your video, I watched you only measuring the 'river' with average widths. What about covering the boards with say a quarter or half inch of epoxy? I didn't see you take the board covering into consideration in measuring. Thanks

How long must the resin be in the vacuum chamber?

[JustinBouchardw]

Haven't tried Rubio yet, but how would you say it compares to Osmo polyx? Or when would you use one over the other?

[MsJamiewatt]
