What it concludes

• Water makes the best medium for testing epoxy colors due to its clarity.
• Pearl white pigment adds metallics, contrast, and iridescence to epoxy without overpowering other colors.
• Thoroughly mixing epoxy and scraping the sides and bottom is critical to avoid unmixed epoxy.
• Pigment settling due to gravity requires stirring epoxy about 12 hours after pouring.
• Warming the table with a sander before scraping makes the scraping process go much better and prevents pulling epoxy out of holes.
• 1/8-inch roundover on table edges gives a more professional and consistent look.
