What happens here
Once the epoxy has fully cured, the wooden forms and Tyvek tape are carefully removed. A utility knife is used to cut any remaining caulk or tape, and a scraper helps remove larger epoxy drips or squeeze-out. The entire desk surface and leg channels are then sanded, starting with 120-grit sandpaper to remove any remaining epoxy residue and rough spots, then progressing to 220-grit for a smoother finish. Sanding the epoxy creates a more opaque appearance, which is desired to hide the LED strips when they are turned off.
Goal: Cured epoxy forms and excess material are removed, followed by sanding to achieve a smooth, opaque finish that hides the LEDs when off.
