Small Shop Tips - How to Flatten an Epoxy Resin River Table (or board) Without a Fancy Planer.
In this video, we'll show you how we flatten the surfaces of an epoxy board (or any board) with a few workshop tools, that give professional results without needing to buy or accommodate a large thicknesser (planer) in a small workshop.
Watch as we flatten the surface of this Epoxy Resin board that we made using a few simple workshop items in under 45 mins. It's fun to do and really easy once you have everything you need, which you probably already have lying around, or can get very cheaply otherwise.
This video covers how we turn a freshly de-moulded epoxy river slab into a stunning semi-finished product and shows you the steps along the way so that you too can flatten epoxy boards like a pro!
This video assumes you have already made an epoxy resin board that you want to flatten. Please like and subscribe to see our resin pouring videos in future videos.
The board featured is made from solid European olive wood, one of our favourite hardwoods to work with as it is both beautiful and durable. If you watch til the end you’ll see why it’s one of our favourites for yourself - it’s absolutely gorgeous stuff and we’re lucky to be able to get it.
The epoxy we used is by Dipon, a deep pour product from their range. You can buy Dipon resin and tints on Amazon and the link to their products is here: https://amzn.to/2R9NTF8
