To recap, I purchased the LACK table from IKEA last week and I placed 70s and 80's baseball cards to the table top. Yesterday, I sealed the table by applying a mixture of 4 parts glue with 1 part water. This morning I was ready to apply the epoxy resin to coat the entire table top. The resin would be left to cure and by tomorrow I will have a cool piece of furniture/nostalgia.
The epoxy resin was purchased at Home Depot and following the directions I measured roughly 8 oz of the epoxy and after stirring I combined with the sealer again mixing for 3 minutes. This seemed to be enough for my table and I used the paint stirrers from Home Depot to spread the mixture across the table.
Once I was satisfied with the application, I covered the table so no outside debris or my kids would disturb the table as it cured.
Here are some pictures:
So far, so good. The cards have taken on a shine and once fully cured, the table will be very nice to look at and to use. This has been a fun project and while researching it on the web, I saw a cool video for making a game table that I might try with the same IKEA table (I do have enough Epoxy for one more table). First I want to see how this one turns out.
That's all for now, thanks for stopping by.
