Makerspace at the Fulton School
The epoxy table we started had a small hole where the epoxy was uncured.
Our solution to this problem was to cover the hole with a small layer of new epoxy. I used the heat gun to smooth the epoxy out in the area and get the air bubbles out of it, but this was not a good idea. After a minute of using the heat gun, a large air bubble was made. This is because the air was going into the small hole and the area expanded with nowhere else for the air to go.
Blas and I decided that we were going to cut the bubble off and fill the area with new epoxy, but not use the heat gun this time.
We then sanded the new epoxy to get it level with the rest of the table.
Once the new epoxy was almost level with the other part of the table we use finer and finer grit sandpaper to polish the table in the hopes that it would look as shiny as the rest of the table. After this, we used the three mixtures in the picture to polish the table further.
In the end, the table looked like this.
