Glacier Table

For quarter one, I brought in a long slab of wood previously used as an outdoor table and created a Glacier table with the help of Doc and Millie. The slab had a large split in one end that we filled with resin. First, Doc sanded it down to make it all smooth. Then, we taped up the edges and made a duct tape wall so the resin wouldn’t spill out of the split. After taping, the first layer of resin was poured, this layer was clear. After it cured, the second layer was poured, this layer was light blue. After this layer was cured, we made an almost white resin mixture and used it to design a glacier. While the glacier was curving, we broke apart pieces of cured blue epoxy and glued them on other parts of the ‘water’ to look like icebergs. Peter printed out tiny polar bears, and we glued them sporadically across the water and icebergs. After everything was cured, another resin layer was added as a top coat. Unfortunately, the resin was spilled on the part of the table that was supposed to stay as raw wood, but Doc is sanding it off.
