How to calculate how much epoxy you are going to need is one of my most common questions people ask me. In this video I'll go over in detail how and where to measure, how many measurements to take, and areas you didnt even know you needed to account for. I decided to demonstrate in my largest epoxy pour to date. $3000 of epoxy went into this one table. I can't even guess how much it weighed in the end... Ok, I could guess, but I don't actually know.
