How to Make Epoxy Coasters with New Silicone Molds | DIY Project

These wood and epoxy coasters are a perfect DIY project to use up scraps of wood you have around your shop. It's also a great opportunity to make a project with epoxy without having to purchase gallons of it. We used Alumilite Amazing Clear Cast Epoxy and Rockler Silicone Coaster Casting Molds . The skills you learn on this project can be applied to making larger epoxy projects, such as river tables and deep pour projects.

If you put the wood pieces on the bottom layer of epoxy, let it cure a little so it sticks well, then pour the top layer of epoxy, you won’t have to use anything to hold the wood down. That way you won’t have nail holes showing.

Curious question, I've got a project in mind that would require me to pour half the epoxy, let it cure, add the material that will be in the middle, then pour the other half of the epoxy. (sorry if that is confusing). Do you believe this could be done and it look as if it were a continuous pour? Or would it be clear that it was done in two separate pours?

Hey there Lily. I bought a laser engraving machine and I wanted to get some tips on how to make some coasters. I'm using wood as you are in this video and wanted some recommendations on some molds. The ones I find on Amazon are for making resin only.

What if you only want the epoxy to go in-between the spaces of the wood but not over the wood?

You don’t have to sand the tops and bottoms?

I guess the pin holes are on the bottom side. Would it make sense to remove the weights after 6+ hours and see if pin holes will disappear that way?

I have marine grade epoxy would that work?

How would u do it if u wanted to make coasters with paper or a hard plastic?

[gaztinsley]

[rippinglipscountingtips]

What do you put on the bottom of the coaster for they don’t actually scratch any tables ?
