How-to Apply Epoxy To Wood

Показать описание

Today, I'm applying West System Epoxy to wood and showing you, depending on your method, what kind of finish you can expect.

1. Epoxy rolled on
2. Epoxy rolled and tipped
3. Wet sanded and buffed

Your method depends on your preferred "finished look" but this will ensure that your wood is protected.

This is a great idea for your home or restaurant if you're looking to make a bar, the epoxy will protect your wood from spills and rings.

Here's what I used:
Sandpaper:Grit - 800, 1000, 1200, 3000

Hi Dan, Can the West System epoxy be pressure infused into wood strips so it gets deep into the wood fibers for the ultimate waterproof and permanent protection against rot. I would be doing top coats of UV stabilized varnish or poly as this wood will be submerged in water for days to weeks at a time.

I wish your camera was over the wood so we can see properly

Looks like you were mixing the 105 to 207 at a 1:1 ratio. But the can specifies 3:1 . Why the difference?
Also, you were stirring the mixture vigorously, how do you prevent bubbles in the allied resin?

Kinda important to have that Tim Hortons!

You don't seem exceedingly concerned about Bubbles and I'm assuming that's because the way it's applied it's not like deep pouring resin or something where it's going to have a lot of space to trap it?

Will it protect the wood from termites?

what was that scraper thing you used as a spreader? I thought epoxy was superior in strength to any other application. But you said if outside varnish it??

You said this is not UV stabilized and should use a marine varnish. Is this system paintable? Will an exterior grade paint bond?

Would this stuff work to fill in like huge chunks taking out of a pine door? My dog crewed huge chucks out of corners of my pine doors and want to use something to reform corners and blend it back in with pine so it doesnt stand out.

I have some trim work on my companionway entrance that people have leaned against and it's cracked or broken. I wanted to glue it and then was thinking of using epoxy to make the repair stronger. Is this the method you would recommend for that type of application? I would then paint it with the same marine varnish I use on the rest of the teak.
Thanks!

I work in boat building and when we learnt about this stuff they taught us that you should wear a mask because the fumes have the effect of causing a guy to not be able to get an erection....so just wondering why no mask?
