Apply First Thin Epoxy Coat to Sink

What happens here

Apply a thin, initial coat of the mixed epoxy resin to the entire surface of the tree stump sink, paying close attention to any cracks or imperfections. This thin coat acts as a 'seal coat' that penetrates the wood and fills small air pockets, preventing bubbles in subsequent, thicker layers. Use a stiff paint brush to work the epoxy into the wood grain. This step is critical for addressing the natural cracks that developed as the stump dried.

Goal: Seal the sink's surface and prepare it for further epoxy layers.
