My Epoxy Resin FAILED!
What happens here
Begin by removing any existing loose or peeling clear coat from the wooden countertops. Use a hand scraper, such as a paint scraper or a utility knife, to carefully scrape away the old finish. The video demonstrates this process by dry scraping, highlighting that wet sanding or scraping could lead to moisture absorption in the wood, complicating subsequent epoxy application. Focus on areas where the previous coating has separated or failed.
Goal: Strip the old, compromised epoxy or clear coat from the wooden countertops.
Tools and materials
- Hand Scraper — Manually scraping off the old clear coat
- Rubber Gloves — Protecting hands during the scraping process
- Utility Knife — Precisely removing smaller, more stubborn bits of the old finish
