Thanks Marty!
Actually I never even noticed the '101' till you said something about it. There's no significance in that number, my wife just created a design. The 'L' is the first initial of our last name.
No sanding between coats, just dusting the surface is all that's needed.
After doing the beer bottle cap table in one coat I decided that a two coat pour is preferred. As the epoxy cures it heats up to over 90f and any air bubbles (on the underside of the caps in this case) expand and try to rise in the epoxy. A heat gun can be used to 'help' some of these bubbles to the surface where they pop. If these bubbles get too close to the surface without popping they can create small 'divots' in the top. This was the case for that table.
For the initial pour on the penny table I mixed enough epoxy to just cover the pennies. Any air bubbles that I missed got locked into the first coat. There weren't as many bubbles as in the case of the bottle caps but there were a few. I poured the second coat the next day and it turned our perfectly! Not a single bubble in the final coat! There's only one blemish in the final pour and it's a small hair that I somehow missed. I'm sure that it's mine.
I'm planning on doing another table. We built a bar downstairs and we have a corner booth that came from a local ice cream shop that went out of business. It consists of two booth benches and a table, of course. Our bar has a Chicago Bears theme. Go Bears!
I have a deck of playing cards that commemorates the '85 Bears. The cards have pics of all those players and of course, Da Coach. I plan of embedding those cards into the top of the table.
