- Woodworking
- Epoxy void fill
- Black walnut kitchen island
- CNC template routing
- C-channel installation
- Sanding and finishing wood slabs
What it concludes
- Table top epoxy is more heat-resistant and harder than deep pour epoxy, but more prone to bubbles and color mismatch.
- Using clear epoxy instead of colored dye prevents visible concentration mismatches in small repairs.
- Warming epoxy with a sander before scraping prevents chipping and creates a smoother surface.
- A spiral head planer with two oscillating wide belts is superior to a drum sander for flattening large slabs.
- Setting client expectations early about pricing changes and potential costs builds trust and prevents disputes.
