Step #1: Build your Casting Epoxy Form.

Use a sheet of Melamine, or plywood for our form on this project. Determine the thickness of your wood slabs and cut the form sides 1/2'' taller of your wood slab. Apply Tyvek tape to the bottom and sides, overlap the tape. Screw down and secure the pieces together. Use Tyvek tape to seal where the sides meets the bottom to keep from leaking.

Step #2: Level the bottom & seal the slabs live edge.

• Using the Slab Jig, level the bottom of your slabs. Remove 1/8''-1/4'' per pass until mostly level. Return wood slabs to your form. Place your slabs into the form, and secure them down with clamps to prevent any movement. Mix Stone Coat's Quick Coat and apply to the live edge of the wood slab. Quick Coat is a 1:1 ratio by volume fast curing epoxy. Mix for 2 minutes with a drill and paddle mixer. Apply mixed Quick Coat with a brush or gloved hand.

Step #3: Choosing a Color
 
Choose a dye, metallic powder, spray paint, or any combination of the three, and mix into epoxy. For this recipe, we used the about a quarter of a spoonful of Rainforest Green Metallic

Step #4: Mixing up the Epoxy
 
Mix Stone Coat Countertops Super Cast Epoxy measured at a 2:1 ratio by volume for projects thicker than 1''. After adding the epoxy additives, mix with a mixing stick until there are no dry clumps of metallic. For project less than 1'' in thickness we recommend using our Casting Epoxy.

Step #5: Pour the Casting Epoxy River
 
Pour the Casting Epoxy or Super Cast into the river form, torch the epoxy every 1/4'' to remove air incorporated into the epoxy while mixing.

Use a Mixing stick to move around the epoxy to add visual interest, and up-level your epoxy pour.

Step #6: Leveling the Skateboard

Bring the table top to level using the Slab Jig. Remove 1/8''-1/4'' per pass until level. Use a 1/8'' roundover bit to round the top and bottom edges. Sand the surface and edges with 60-220 grit sandpaper.
