  • Nice tip to fill from the bottom if holes go all the way through the slab. What about filling large gaps without tint? I read that Westsystems clouds up and traps bubbles if you fill too thick at one time. Is there a noticeable line when you put one coat of epoxy on top of another? Sorry last question, do you use one or two coats of the Rubio monocoat?

  • Hi John, great tutorial & love the finished slab! A quick question: I’ve used West epoxy on a burr elm slab I’m working on but I find it “bleeds” into the wood around the voids. How can I fix this? I’ve tried sanding but the marks are still there - is planing my only option? And how can I prevent this next time? I’ve tried masking but it creeps under the tape. Thanks in advance!

  • Hey what kind of Rubio monocoat are you using that beautiful? Is it just the pure

  • Hi John, what kind of product would you recommend for finishing a live edge for outdoor? Thanks.
