Answers: How do you build a live-edge epoxy dining table and fix common epoxy mistakes?

Making a template ensures the table matches the exact size expected by the client.
Clamping down wood slabs prevents them from floating during a large epoxy pour.
Applying a fast-dry epoxy or de-waxed shellac before a deep pour prevents black epoxy dye from bleeding into the wood.
Scraping sides and bottom while mixing epoxy ensures it is thoroughly mixed.
Using a small V-groove gouge to carve out and widen small pits ensures epoxy properly bonds.
Custom-made C-channels allow exact length and mounting hole placement, though ordering from Concept 13 is preferred to save time.
