Epoxy Finish

Hey you guys,

Been fooling around with finish for bases...simple 2 part epoxy seems to be working well.

Still using CA for the set. Local Cherry.

Sorry for the terrible photo.

Beautiful! I have worked with epoxy and like it, but find it challenging. You did a great job with it.

Very nice unique eye candy, thanks for sharing.

 

Nice.

 

That looks great. How do you apply the epoxy, so that it doesn’t run or drip?

 

Thanks....I use a foam roller that is cut into small pieces. Just dip it in the epoxy and apply. It self levels, and bubbles are easy to spot and eliminate. I tried to use CA on the bases as well as the set, but epoxy is much easier.
( for me anyway )..no issues with running or dripping....I am using West System simply because it was left over from a boat build.

 

Is West System a brand of epoxy?

 

Yes, marketed to the marine industry. https://www.westsystem.com

Haven't used in decades....but did help my father with a catamaran repair long ago using some of their products.
