When done right, epoxy countertops provide a long-lasting and durable surface. In addition, their non-porous nature means they’re resistant to moisture. The material is also resistant enough to heat, although you still need to use common sense and not place hot pots and pans on it. How d...
if you are dealing with cracks instead of breaking, you must use a toothpick. A toothpick will push the epoxy deep into the cracks. Any other tool can’t perform this job
you must take additional steps to make sure the water doesn't penetrate and damage the wood. The correct procedure is to drill an over-sized hole, completely fill that hole with epoxy (I usually put a piece of masking tape on the back side to act as a dam), then once the epoxy cur...
When it is time to repair the tip, it usually takes a long time to dry the wood for an effective repair. To isolate the end grain before applying the fiberglass, cut diagonally from the leading edge to the bottom, apply several coats of epoxy to both pieces and bond the tip back on....
s short and compact. I like to use this spinner when I am production tying and I have already cut away the tying thread, because it is much faster than using a paperclip/wire style tool and whip finishing off the loop. When using a long loop and the Loon Spinner I simply double the...
I sprayed the concrete with a deep penetrating sealer and plan to put in an epoxy floor. How can I install the foam insulation without removing all the wood studs? I don’t have a lot of money or help so I need to try to keep it simple. The basement was completely finished. I’ve...
When respraying use long sweeping motions over the surface with the can about 8″ away from the surface. Re-spray with very light coats every 5 minutes until you get the coverage you want. Get these coats on within an hour. Do not spray again after an hour. If more coats are needed,...
long pieces of wood from ¼”x ¼” hardwood to form four stops. Next glue the guide blocks on the marks made in the bottom of the water channel with some epoxy so that they line up the outside edges of the baseplate and sit between the marks for the sides of the “fork”. Als...
A.I have seen bar tops done using a two part clear mix. You might check with an arts and crafts store for the material, or maybe a hobby shop. The 2 part mix cures by chemical reaction, so it does not need the air. I think a thick poly coat would take very long to set up an...
Epoxy-based groutdoes not need sealing at any point. It’s a two-part grout that is impervious to water. This helps it inhibit mold & mildew growth. It also has higher stain resistance over regular grouts as the stain cannot enter the grout. ...
