EpoxyTable 5-Five for Tables with Embedded Objects

Q: How to Achieve the Best Results

Prepare Surfaces: Ensure that objects to be embedded are clean, dry, and free from oils or dust that could affect adhesion. Work in Layers: For thicker inclusions or larger tables, consider casting in two or more stages to avoid overheating which can occur in pours exceeding 5cm. Avoid Trapped Air: Position objects thoughtfully and pour slowly, allowing bubbles to escape. Use a heat gun lightly if necessary. Mixing: For EpoxyTable 5-Five, maintain the correct ratio (100 parts resin to 55 parts hardener by weight) for a reliable cure. You can find detailed instructions and tips included with the EpoxyTable 5-Five kit.
