really aggressive sanding and this is my rotek sander it's a very aggressive hand sander but the circular rotex lines remove those vertical lines so i rotax the entire slab remove all those now i go to my finished sander and that finish sander will remove all the rotex lines so it's just kind of going step by step in aggressiveness some of you out there are probably watching this video hoping to learn how to make an epoxy table yourself and i think that's great and i try to include as much information as i possibly can however it's kind of hard sometimes to really include every single step in one NUMBER_TOKEN minute video so for the past several years i've been hosting these in-person epoxy table workshops and they've been a lot of fun but kovit has really slowed things down and i figured in a virtual world like this i need something better so i have just started the process of making a virtual workshop where it's going to be like a three or four hour intensive workshop where we go through every single step of making an epoxy table and not just a black one we'll do colored ones and clear ones and every step i can think of and that way you guys can do it on your time you can do it virtually you can do it anywhere in the world i'm actually hiring like a film crew for this so it's going to be like a whole thing it's going to be a complete investment for me so i hope you guys like it i'm just starting with it i'm hoping to have it out by the end of the year and if you want some more information on that i'll include a link to sign up to my email list i don't spam you i also don't think i've ever even used my email list but that's how i will let you guys know when that workshop is actually ready this finish here that i'm using is called rubia monocoat it's a hardwood floor finish but it's very very natural feeling you get to feel all of the grains and i have a really nice big buffer here i don't think that it's entirely necessary for this particular finish it does save my arm a little bit of a workout but you could just wipe it in and wipe it off and that's what i'm doing here to remove it i just take these blue shop rags and just make sure you remove every single bit of it they say you can leave too much on but you can't remove too much so you just keep wiping until that rag is clean and i do two coats of this ruby monaco i do have a finished video on that if you're curious then i wait a week and now i've been adding this black for a ceramic finish which is just kind of that wax on top of your finish and it goes on very easy too also bumps up the sheen bumps up the protection just an extra layer of protection and something i've really enjoyed putting on my tables lately the week that i was finishing this table we were dog sitting my mom's NUMBER_TOKEN month old yellow lab who was adorable but also had a lot of energy and not every member of the family was as excited as the rest of us to have her staying there and that is why our cat was hanging
