Epoxy tables come in various sizes with different shapes of live edge wood. If you''re starting out on your DIY journey, then you need to read this. Here''s a basic tutorial to help you with your next project and to understand the time and expenses that come with it. Next to each step tells you how many hours you might commit. Each project is different so this part is difficult to gauge.Step 1: (1-2hrs)Research and pick slabs and determine where you''ll cut. It is important to utilize what you can from the slabs with little waste, getting a proper void for the epoxy pour, and also making sure the void is not too excessive. Remember that a larger river = larger volume of epoxy = more money. We recommend Spalted teak for this one, but you can use any slab that suits the style you''re going forStep 2: (1-2hrs)You''ll need to cut the slabs to its proper size then cut or modify some of the branches so it''ll fit properly inside the mold. After cutting, clean up or remove the debris, dirt, or bark.Step 3: (2-3hrs)Depending on the condition of the slabs and the square footage you have to cover, this step could take up to 3 hours. Also, some are more twisted than others. When flattening the slabs, you can use a Virutex Hand Router, a slab flattening mill or your own customized router sled. After flattening, sand the live edge, and be sure to remove all debris.Step 4: (2-3hrs)for example Build mold out of 3/4 thick melamine (Visit your local shop for 4''x8'' sheets of melamine). When finished, this table needs to be 72 x 42. Since the walls will sit on top of the melamine and screwed in from the bottom upward, we need to add 3/4 on each side for the base melamine. There will be 3 parts labeled A, B, C. One A; two B''s; two C''s. A) One base sheet at 73 1/2 x 43 1/2. Side and end caps will be 3 width so that the slab can sit inside of the mold and the epoxy will not overflow. B) Two side caps 73 1/2 length. C) Two end caps 42 length. When all the parts are ready, screw-in from the bottom upward to create a box-like structure. This will be the mold that the slabs will lay inside in. Before adding the slabs, apply silicone/caulk on the seams to seal all areas and prevent any epoxy leakage then let it dry for2-3hours. This step is extremely important because it plays a huge role in whether or not your pour will remain inside of the mold or be wasted through the leaks and end up on the floor. If you don''t let the silicone dry, the epoxy may leak through the wet silicone.Step 5: (2-4hrs)We''ll now proceed with the slab fitting process. First, double-check if the slabs fit the way you want them to inside the mold. This will give you a clearer preview of where the epoxy river will go. If all is fine, remove the slabs from the mold then set it aside.Add a silicone wall (about 1/4 thick/high) along the live edge slabs where the river will run. This will help you with the over pour running all over the slab, at the same time limit epoxy waste. If applicable, we add silicone in the corners, seams, or edges of the slab where the epoxy meets the melamine. Doing this before it gets into the mold will allow the silicone to slightly harden and once tightly fit in the mold, it creates a barrier and prevent the epoxy from seeping in other areas.While these slabs are set to the side, clean the mold of dust and debris. Apply MSK Spanish Epoxy resin in a single pour can go up 50mm thickness.
