Notes for Casting Epoxy Video

THERE WERE MANY EFFORTS BEFORE AND AFTER IN MAKING THE FINAL PRODUCT
THIS VIDEO WAS TAKEN WHILE THE EPOXY POURING PART OF THE PROJECT WAS BEING DONE.
ATTENTION IS DIRECTED TO THESE IMPORTANT POINTS NOT DISCUSSED IN THE VIDEO
This project produces a table top with the theme of the lava flow from an erupting volcano as it flows through the landscape forming channels as it flows.
As the lava cools along the edges in the real world, the color there turns to black as lava rock forms.
To emulate that, black dyed epoxy is carefully poured along the edges
A blower is used to steer it toward the edge when needed.
The epoxy is poured in 1/4 inch layers to manage the setting process which forms bubbles as it begins to cure.
When bubbles form a torch is used to pop them
THERE WAS A GREAT DEAL OF PREP WORK THAT IS NOT SEEN IN THIS VIDEO.
SEVERAL HOURS WERE SPENT TO PREPARE AND SET UP FOR THE POUR.
NOT DOING THE PROPER PREP RESULTS IN A VERY BAD RESULT THAT CAN BE COSTLY.
THE COST OF THE PROJECT SHOWN IN THE VIDEO WAS $160
