Answers: How do you make a denim and aluminum foil resin coffee table?

• Resin and denim composite table top
• Vacuum bagging epoxy and fabric
• Charred white oak stump table base
• Aluminum foil and denim lamination

What it concludes

• Aluminum foil prevents epoxy from transferring between layers, limiting the bond strength to the worst layer.
• Using heated blankets can accelerate the deep pour epoxy curing process from two to three weeks down to four to five days.
• Drilling holes larger than threaded inserts and floating them in epoxy eliminates the risk of anything coming apart.
• Offering choices of table bases provides a better customer experience than restricting them to a single base option.
