After tons of requests recently for some easy beginner epoxy resin projects, I finally decided to share a couple fun ideas plus some tips for working with epoxy for the first time.
I've learned a few lessons the hard way working with resin in the past, so I'm sharing my top 5 tips throughout this video so you don't make the same mistakes I have :)
Then at the end, I'll share what I did differently this time that gave my clear resin a MUCH nicer result. Hint: It was the Ryobi Dual Action Cordless POLISHER! Check it out here: homedepot.sjv.io/c/1404662/1252138/8154
