It’s so hard to know, but now that I know more and there are more companies selling two part epoxy resin, I would buy a gallon kit and use that. MAS Epoxy and Totalboat epoxy are both great brands and I’ve personally used the two-part epoxy from both companies.

Hmm. That’s a great question. It took a lot more than we thought it would, that’s for sure. We had several bags full and used a lot of them.

Unfortunately, I don’t have a shot of the star up close and I’m not able to get a picture of the table at the moment. My post did include a closeup of the blue bottle caps sheared to fit the star exactly, if that helps.

I’ll see if I have a closeup picture to send you. Sorry, just saw this!

Could you possibly post an up close shot of the star? I’m creating this at the moment and want to decide if I like the abstract look or the tin shear look better. Thanks!!

Oh, I love that idea! You’re making me want to do that for my house;)

I’m not sure if you are asking about the kitchen torch or the resin, so I’ll just explain both:) The kitchen torch is just that. It’s a small torch that chefs usually use for things like creme brulee. The resin is a two part bar top resin that you mix and it dries to a clear, hard finish after about 24-48 hours. When the resin is mixed and poured, it starts to form bubbles. I have no clue why, but it just seems to do that. The kitchen torch literally works like magic on these bubbles. When you have finished pouring the resin, just run the flame over the bubbles and they pop instantly. You don’t have to hold it too close or for any longer than a second. It takes a little bit to get rid of all of the bubbles, because those suckers just reappear, but not too long. This table was big, so it took longer than a wine barrel would. I’ll make sure to update my post with links to both the resin and kitchen torch, so you can easily find them:)
