Step 1: Prepare the Table Top
The first step is to prepare the table top. Measure the length and width of the table top and decide on the thickness. Depending on the weight of the table top, you may need to reinforce it with screws and a drill.
Step 2: Prepare the Epoxy Resin
Next, prepare the epoxy resin according to the instructions on the package. Be sure to wear protective gear such as gloves and a mask to protect yourself from any fumes. Mix the resin and measure the correct proportions using measuring spoons and stirring with a stirring utensil. If adding coloring to the epoxy, mix in the colors at this point.
Step Three: Pour the Epoxy
Once the epoxy is mixed, pour it onto the table top, spreading it out evenly. Use a heat gun or blow dryer to eliminate any bubbles. Let the epoxy dry and cure according to the instructions.
Step Four: Attach the Legs
The last step is to attach the legs to the table. Use screws and a drill to attach the table legs securely. Be sure the legs are firmly in place and the table top is steady and secure before using.
