Preparing and Finishing Shelf Panels

how we can make this let's go we need to build a mold and the mold will basically be what we're gonna pour the epoxy and the most important part is that it's waterproof so this stuff doesn't leak out to do that we're gonna use melamine we're gonna create two moles that are the size of the top and the bottom we're gonna secure it with inch and a quarter scoots from the sides and then you need some 100 cent epoxy to waterproof it I'm using black you can also use brown reason why is a clear stuff you won't see where you missed it what the black stuff you could actually see where you've missed it start making our rolls let's go [Music] here is the resin meet a partner here's a partner we need some color we have our epoxy this is stuff from total boat it's a two to one part resin getting the glass-like effect meaning nice and clear no bubbles because there will be a ton of bubbles in there as you're pouring it in the way to get them out is using a heat source we're gonna use a torch this is a Burns O Matic propane gas along with the birds o matic TS 8000 torch and the way it works is once you turn it on lock it in place we'll turn the flow down and then what we'll do is after tonnes being poured we're gonna gently hover over our epoxy that's poured allowing for the air bubbles to rise to the top and evaporate leaving us with a nice clear glass like effect let's start mixing and see where we get we clearly need a bigger bucket than this uh we're gonna throw some of these flakes in here as we're mixing it we're gonna wanna Chiva it's like a turquoise kind of look I'm just kind of I'm gonna eyeball it for a little bit see where we get [Music] too many consistent variables of coloring I'm gonna try to pour this into a bucket mix it and put her back here easy and away you go first time doing this so we're freaking this thing out all right that's gonna get glued to my table I already know that [Applause] [Music]
