Start by gathering all necessary supplies:
Quality wood slab, epoxy resin and hardener, color pigments (optional), mixing cups and sticks for mixing purposes only (without using paint), mixing tools for creating mixes (for stirring cups and sticks), mixing sticks for stirring purposes (optional), sandpapering tools for finishing purposes as well as protective gear like gloves and mask are required to complete this project.
Selecting appropriate materials is key to creating a professional result.
Assemble Your Wood Slab
Begin by prepping your wood slab. Sand its surface until its surfaces is even and free from scratches; any cracks or voids should either be filled in with epoxy resin for an unobtrusive finish, or left as is for an organic feel. Proper preparation will add character and enhance its final appearance of your piece.
Pouring Epoxy Compound
Follow your manufacturer’s instructions to blend epoxy resin and hardener together in the correct ratio, adding any color pigments that you may desire now. Pour the resin over any prepared areas on a wooden slab until all gaps and spaces have been filled in; using a heat gun if any bubbles form during this step.
Finishing Touches
Once the epoxy has set, sand the surface to achieve a sleek surface and apply a topcoat for extra shine and protection. Attach legs or bases to complete this functional piece of art!
