I've been thinking about this for a while, and I'd like to pour the alumilite bar top epoxy on a table with two leaves (leafs? idk words are hard) that is covered in small tiles. Looks fantastic with the tiles, but with small boys in the house it's a pain to clean the grout lines. My issue is I want them to have a finished top consistent with its neighboring section. The best I've been able to come up with is a small spacer then cut the table apart after flooding the entire surface. Then maybe flush cut down to size with a router and sand the edge to knock the sharp corner off a tiny bit. Anyone have any better ideas?

Hey there Knox,
Cutting it apart could be challenging, not to say that your process wouldn't work. The only other thought I has was to coat each section independently and allow the resin to flow over the edge where the leafs fit together. Then once cured sand the sides flush so that the segments fit together nicely. You would likely have a slight valley where they meet though. One last note, where ever you sand will turn frosted. So after sanding, you might want to mix up a batch of ACC and apply a thin coat to the frosted areas, which would then turn clear again. Good luck! Don

Does it depend how fine you sand? I know if you go to 1600 grit paper you can get a clear finish on acrylic...is the resin similar or do you always need to add more to restore clarity?
