What it concludes

Leaving natural wood edges to touch the epoxy prevents tables from looking generic and average.
Skip planing rough slabs before final sizing minimizes material loss and maximizes finished thickness.
Thoroughly cleaning and torching live edges is essential to prevent edge delamination down the line.
Pouring too thick a layer of table top epoxy without popping bubbles creates white micro-bubbles directly under the surface.
Mixing up pre-made epoxy forms is a reliable way to avoid leaks and save time, especially on repetitive projects.
