A bad Epoxy Job on Our DIY Live Edge Kitchen countertop ... how to do Epoxy repair Pt3

What happens here

For the final coat of epoxy, the resin is carefully poured onto the extensively prepared and cleaned countertops. Similar to the first coat, a squeegee is used for flat surfaces and a brush for vertical edges to ensure a smooth, even application. Immediately after spreading, a propane torch is again passed over the entire surface to eliminate any rising air bubbles, ensuring a pristine, glass-like finish. The narrative confirms this final coat is going much better than the problematic second coat.

Goal: Apply a flawless final epoxy coat and achieve a smooth, bubble-free finish

the next one. You got your eating. So, this is pour number three. And now we've got everybody working this thing together trying to get her right. So far, it's going much better than pour number two, isn't it? Yeah. So, it's better to have too much and pull it off than it is than to have too little and then try to connect it up, isn't it? Yeah. It's one of the things that I think this is still leveling out. I mean, it wasn't even leveling out last time at this point. No, it wasn't. I mean, we were we were screwed at this point already at last time. Like you say, this is all level. I mean, you look back, even them places I had a rough spot. Well, like there, but I don't know. We'll just live with them. They're my air bubbles now, though. We can't deal with. Um, I'm just going to set that there. It's junk. Anyways, a lot more leveler than what it was. Look at that. This side looks nice. So, this second pour went a lot better than the first second pour, if that makes any sense. But [Applause] that's a piece of dirt. I think that one there. I think is that air bubble or is that a dirt? [Applause] See now these ain't going. I don't know if I missed a spot right there. Just couldn't have missed a spot. [Applause] But the heat actually is helping it level out like it's supposed to. [Applause] They're not popping on me. Look at that. They're not popping. Oh. Oh, some are. These are over here, but there they are. All right. Yep. Now they are. Some of them don't want to go. No, it's a little little thick. Maybe it has to work its way out. But yeah, they're starting Good, good. [Music]
