Process
Follow this a little bit.
Legs
Repeat 4 times:
- Build wood form
- Drill hole for bolt
- Seal wood with anti-stick
- Pour first layer of resin, use torch to reduce bubbles
- Let dry enough (how much?)
- Put the bolt and anchor into the form (we do this after the first pour so we don't spill resin on it by accident and reduce clarity)
- Seal bolt with caulk
- Add bottles and/or caps
- Pour the rest of the leg, use torch to reduce bubbles
- Let dry
- Sand as needed
Table Top
- Cut Plexiglas to size (what size?)
- Drill 4 holes for bolts (where?)
- Put in the bolts, seal the bottom with caulk
- Seal the wood used to make the form
- Make a 4 sided form around the edge of the glass that is taller than the resin overhaning the bottom about 1/2in
- Caulk form to the bottom
- Place caps
- Glue caps with hot glue
- Fill the top with resin, use torch to reduce bubbles
- Let it dry
- Rip the form off, pull the caulk off
- Sand as needed
- Attach legs by screwing them on
