What it concludes

Deep pour epoxy provides better results than table top epoxy for thicker pours on deep cracks.
Ceramic finishes significantly step up the sheen, depth, and contrast of wood grain while providing superior protection.
Using metric measurements makes more sense, but the woodworking industry in America remains too stubborn to change.
Bow ties are necessary structural additions when epoxy does not fully penetrate wide cracks in live edge slabs.
