What happens here

Begin by combining the epoxy resin and hardener according to the manufacturer's specific instructions. This typically involves precise measurements and thorough mixing to ensure proper chemical reaction and curing. Use a robust drill with a mixing paddle attachment to blend the components in a bucket until the mixture is uniform and streak-free. This process is crucial for the epoxy to cure correctly and achieve its intended properties. The work area, including floors and surrounding cabinetry, should be protected with plastic sheeting and painter's tape to prevent accidental spills and splatters, which would require extensive cleanup later.

Goal: The initial step involves preparing the epoxy by mixing its components in a bucket using a drill attachment, ensuring thorough and consistent blending.

This project has fought us every step of the way. About 10 years ago, Frank and I decided how cool would it be to install a 3-in thick live edge countertop, not knowing that it would become one of the most difficult projects we tackled. The countertop itself decided to start twisting and warping, pulling all of our cupboards with it. I think we're almost done. [Music]
