I am making a beer pong table out of bottle cap, what should i use to mak a smooth playing surface on top? I was thinking of using some sort of solution glass epoxy...
I was thinking of using some sort of solution glass epoxy resin coating but I am not sure what to use and how much it will cost. It clearly have to be a thick coat because it have to thicker than the height of a bottle hat. Any suggestions on what to use? how much it costs? and where to find it?
What i don't want to do is just put plexiglass over it because next the table wouldn't have fundamental the same level finish.
Thanks for the help.
Btw, table will probably be 8 foot by 4 feet
No one is answering you because your request doesn't ring terribly true. But, if you are really serious, the epoxy pour on is the way to be in motion. You won't have to use as much as you infer, since the caps will enjoy air space below them and you only hold to fill within around and just above them.
Have you see those redwood cross cut tables? They own the clear epoxy coating which can be bought in gallon and five gallon sizes at most home reorganization stores. You will need to place an farthest point around the table to avoid the epoxy substance from dripping over, then start pouring over the cap. You need to be on a completely smooth surface. It will spread by itself as you pour it in zig zags over the surface. I would not try to smooth it out next to a trowel or a scree. It should be liquid adequate to just spread by itself and next you just dawdle for it to dry completely through. It will start at the exposed top of course, afterwards work its way to the bottom, so don't step pressing on anything or you will get indentations.
I presume your idea is innovative and interesting, but it will probably be expensive. By the road, do all this contained by a well ventilate area. The epoxy have some chemicals that will harm if breathed for extremely long until it is dried.
I you can immobilize the bottle caps to the board (mastic or juice nails) then use grout to crowd in the spaces. Just close to putting tile on a kitchen countertop, floor, wall, etc.
Make sure to use a rubber float to push it in the gap and to smooth, do a small section at a time (2'x2') hold a sponge and a bucket of water to verbs the tops. When finished, use a grout sealer, so that dirt won't discolor the grout.
There are lots of different colors of grout you can use.
