6. Adjusting the Resin and Using the Vacuum Machine
We carefully adjust the resin and then place it in a vacuum machine. This process is essential as it removes the small bubbles from the resin. The resin stays in the vacuum machine for about 30 - 60 minutes to ensure it is as bubble - free as possible.
7. Pouring the Resin
As the resin is poured, if large bubbles rise to the surface, we quickly pass a blowtorch over them. After the defoaming meets the standard, we also gently heat the resin with a blowtorch while it's still wet. This further reduces small bubbles. Depending on the thickness requirements, we then pour 3 - 5 layers of resin. For tables with a "wave" design, more layers may be needed. Each layer takes approximately 2 days to solidify, with the final layer taking a bit longer.
8. Demolding
Once the resin has fully solidified, the table is demolded. This step reveals the basic form of the table, with the resin and wood now combined.
