How To Make A Epoxy Resin Table Top
I would suggest you look at several YouTube videos and then do some practice pieces first. Just so you know they nearly always turn out exactly like you planned. Practice with colours and methods but just make sure that you have a small flaming torch, like cooks use. As the last step is most important and that is to run the torch over the entire bench making sure that you pop all the tiny air bubbles Tis will give you the glass finish

Sorry I meant to say nearly NEVER turn out like you plan . Just go with the flow. But practice.
