Some videos I have watched show a hair dryer to bring up and pop any air bubbles in the resin.

This is what I fear about living alone.... but instead it being a big violent bloke (who thinks he's entitled to do what he wants).

Surely I’m not the only one who noticed you were wearing a much smarter T shirt to carry out messy resin work in 🤣 I don’t know much about resin as I tried it once on a very small project at my craft group and hated having to work out the air bubbles but this video has left me wondering if the underside will crack once it’s put under the pressure of the bolts? I hope it doesn’t

Nice job on flush fitting the backsplash, one simple cut with the track saw that you wouldn't have been able to achieve with a jigsaw. Tips for the resin pour, especially the tops: - use a mask! Resin fumes are not exactly healthy - tare the scale after each ingredient, much easier than adding weights - small dents where the wood fibres have not been broken can be smoothed out by ironing the area through a damp cloth and sanding smooth. Where the fibres have been broken, you'll need to apply wood filler or wood glue mixed with sawdust. - apply wood filler or wood glue mixed with sawdust to the edges of the plywood, then sand smooth. Make up a small amount of thinner resin, (no pigments required, this will just be a base coat) and paint the edges with it. Once it cures, sand it smooth again. This will prevent your nice layer of resin seeping into the open edge and give nicer finish - like others said, go over the poured resin with a heat gun or hair dryer to get rid of bubbles (about 30-40 cm away from the surface) I wouldn't put the sockets on the backsplash, but on the side of the electrics cupboard over the worktop, and on the side of the last cupboard below the worktop.

I’m not able to visit the raffle link. I just wanted to have a look, however It goes to a page that gives me some sort of an error warning. Just wanted to let you know.

I really enjoyed that video James. No corners cut, very informative. Reminds me of the glass fibre episode on Sloe Patrol. 👍🏻

go over with a blow touch when its still wet this will pop the bubbles

When working with resin, less talking and more fast walking.

Take bubbles out by just brushing it over with a blow torch

James use a steam iron on your timber. The hot steam will bring out the dents on your timber.

Use a heat gun for the good side to get rid if the bubbles

Yay another 30+ min video what a treat 😊

You were brave taking on doing resin. I had to laugh each time you said shit or some other four letter word. Good luck!!!

Glossy - it is, Black - it is, no denying it ! Certainly hope it comes out right, so far so good though!

Hi James i didn't realise as to what you intended doing there is a company that blogs on RUclips called Leggari Products that does resin worktops and floors they do some fabulous worktops and floors and sell the products

Use a hair drier or a hot air gun (carefully) to warm the resin as soon as you apply it. This will take out any air and remove any brush marks/nibs in the finish.

I wondered , after watching you for several minutes , if you have actually painted the correct side of the worktop? I ask that because I got the impression the screwed in sleeves for fixing the worktop to the units , wouldnt show on the top once its all fixed in place . It appears that this should be the underside of it .

Loved it when you almost accidentally poked your eye with the safety specs as you told us about safety with epoxy ....nearly James .

use a blow torch to get rid of the air bubbles as you pour it

yes lop that end off.

LOVE the plug sockets James . Much better than white plastic , gives the whole boat a sense of modern styling .

Hi mate - just be wary putting the plugs onto the upstand, the plug probs wont go in with the flex hanging out it, might be worth looking at pop up sockets? You can get the round ones you could just drop a core through the top or the square flip ones, we put them in our stone tops all the time I dont know anything about worktop resin pours put if you were to use your shop vac you have there and another jug with a hole in it and the hoover in it would it pull the air bubbles out of it by drawing a vacuum? Dunno

I agree with you on the backsplash design . much sleeker finish .

Thats a clever way of screwing in those sleeves , I immediately thought of using a larger flathead screwdriver , but your idea makes much more sense .

We've watched every vlog with you, forgotten how bad it was. Felt for you when things have gone bad and felt your happiness when you've succeeded at something new. You've done a brilliant job and she looks lovely now. Well done 😊😊

As has been said, a quick wizz over with a heat gun will get rid of those troublesome bubbles

Well done James looking good already tc now the oldies 👍🤗

Sorry to be pedantic James, but asa former maths teacher I can tell you that the area is 1.44 square metres, not metres squared. 1.44 m squared = 1.44x1.44 = 2.90 sq m😂. I know it’s abbreviated as m to the power of 2, but it’s pronounced square metres!

James if your electric sockets are too low you’ll find plugs won’t fit in Good Luck

Ooohhh my fingers are crossed it goes well James ! X not sure I’d dare do that !! X

Don't put plug sockets on back splash james it's too low mate, plug cables will jam on work top.

Put the fixings in after the coating has gone on.

You could mix the dust from sanding with some wood glue mix it up and push into the dents in the wood and sand back.

Why do you always use tiny paintbrushes a larger one at least 3 times that size would get the job done and a lot smoother

That epoxy finish is looking good already. Look forward to seeing the final result. Good luck with it James 😊

AQ bit late now but if you go over it with a blowtorch you'll get rid of the air bubbles and point two, how did you get resin on the handle of your brush, lol

The slots in the screw inserts go into the wood first, you had the right idea with the bolt but it goes on the other end. The slotted end is slightly tapered to cut the thread as it’s screwed down. I spent ages trying to fit some into an aluminium mast until I found the instructions on their use.

Tare the scales each time 😂

Wow, those poured epoxy resin tops look fantastic, don't they. Love the blues and the greens.

Looking good looking good! 😃

If you looked really hard, James, I'm sure you could have found a smaller paintbrush. 😁

I'm a resin aficionado .

wow that looks delicate.. good job so far :)

You can use a heat gun or drier to remove air bubbles

When putting your plug sockets in make sure you can get your plugs in the sockets because most kitchen appliances have molded plugs on hope you understand what I mean . Starting to look really good now

👍👌❤️🇨🇦, totally good

Are you going to have room for the faucet between the sink and splash back?

lovely job but be careful of those plug sockets on the backsplash, remember when you plug something in you need space for the wire from the plug to bend. i made this mistake putting the plug sockets too low in my kitchen

Wafting a small gas blowtorch gently over the epoxy a few centimetres away from the surface after it’s poured will help bring the air bubbles out and get rid of them

As you were describing the need for the boat to be level I was thinking, Murphy will have another boat go by, making yours sway at the worst possible moment. ;-)
