    I think you should mention the importance of wearing a respirator while working with any epoxy. Protect those lungs! Better safe than sorry.

    As someone who works in the epoxy industry I would say some things that are super important are:   The resin / hardener ratios are as close as can be.  I never ever measure with volume. Always measure by weight.  Also when mixing be sure to get the sides and corners of the vessel scraped down.  It is always best to mix with a slower folding method when time allows as it introduces less bubbles and provides a better mix.  If possible i pour out of the mixing vessel through a filter which surprisingly can help eliminate bubbles as well.  There are a million nuances that can be learned, but these are some things I've learned over the last 15 or so years doing this stuff that i didn't hear on here.  You guys do great work and i really enjoy the content.

    Making sure the pouring area is level!  Seems so obvious when you say it, but I guarantee I likely would not have thought of it.  Thanks for all the tips!

    2 years of my life have gone by without me finding this video. Dude - you are hysterical. Even though I dnt do a fraction of the things you do (I do small crafts & searched for a video about epoxy & this came up) I continued to watch bc it was purely entertainment on top of extreme intelligence. Amazing stuff man. Smart as a whip. And the entertainment was the icing on the cake. Def had me hit the subscribe button. (And you're easy on the eyes 👀  - lucky wife LOL) ZERO DISRESPECT. Can't wait for the next 1!

    I came here specifically because I was too lazy to read the labels.. But that said your first piece of advice is probably the best you could have given me because I knew it had to be done 😅

    I’ve often thought about doing epoxy work, but now I know not go in lightly. Props on a solid video, sir.

    Working on a coffee table at home between college trimesters and thinking of doing some epoxy detail on the top. This video was super helpful on thinking on how I want to do it. Thank you!

    The main thing I got from you was to realize how little I know ... that's a good thing, so thank you.  I also love the fact that I recently told someone that I don't mind giving my "secrets" away.  First, because there are no "secrets" in copper work and second, because I always get more back that I can put forth.  Your video is a prime example.  Again, thank you!!
