This video describes how to epoxy over uneven surfaces. In particular, 100 plus year old barn wood was transformed into 6 table tops for a local brewery (Ramshackle Brewing Company). I share techniques used to build up epoxy layers.

Some of the products used in finishing this bar top:

Stone Coat Countertop Stone Coat Epoxy we used (heat and yellowing resistant) for the seal coats and top final flood coat can be found using this link: https://amzn.to/481NVAr

Metallic powder additive used with the super cast epoxy https://amzn.to/3oec7sy

Quality brush used to chop out the epoxy flood coat https://amzn.to/39cfNGM
or if you are planning on doing a couple epoxy projects or working with bark on, I suggest this bulk pack of 12 (you save over $1 per brush) https://amzn.to/3qMgegR

You can keep reusing your trowel by simply letting the epoxy drain off the square notches. This 1/8 x 1/8 x 1/8 square notch trowel is the size you need for the flood coat https://amzn.to/2M0SiYv

When using a 1:1 ratio epoxy, measuring your amounts is extremely important. Here is the brand of mixing cup I trust and has never let me down https://amzn.to/3iGUHU0

I use Diablo 5" random orbital sanding discs (I use different grits, working my way up to 220 - there is no need to go beyond 220 grit when using epoxy) https://amzn.to/2MizlAv

With the exception of a little hand sanding, I use this Dewalt Random Orbital Sander https://amzn.to/3iJVxzx

This is an epoxy cleaner which I use before delivering any epoxy product to a client. It also contains an epoxy polish to help maintain your finish. https://amzn.to/3iHRYd6

Use this self igniting propane torch to pop air bubbles. https://amzn.to/34yBXzV

This is what I used to seal the barn wood and to retain some of the weathered barn wood color. This product is also great for an outdoor finish. https://amzn.to/3cPzCFn
