Apply First Epoxy Coat and Degas

What happens here

Apply the first coat of a two-part bar-top epoxy resin. This initial coat is critical for sealing the porous wood and preventing air bubbles from emerging later. Once applied, use a torch or heat gun to gently pass over the wet epoxy surface. This technique heats the epoxy, allowing trapped air bubbles to rise and pop, resulting in a smoother, clearer finish. This first coat should be thin enough to penetrate the wood but sufficient to create a sealed layer. Allow ample time for this coat to cure (dry). The video notes this product is 'FamoWood' bar coating.

Goal: Seal the wood and remove initial air bubbles with the first epoxy layer.
