RE: Hi Steemers! I have a small business making unique and interesting tables, what do you think? :)
these live edge/resin infused tables are some of my favorite pieces from the depths of the internet. Id love to see some kind of chair or bench idea come together using this technique!
May I ask, how are the fumes from dealing with this resin stuff? Do you need a workshop or ventilated area to work with the material?
Hi there, thanks for the comment! I don't make chairs although I get so many requests as the amount of work in making a custom set and the price would be too much for people to be interested for the most part - thousands !
The fumes with epoxies are no where near as bad as polyesters, although you have to be careful as mixing the epoxy causes a strong chemical reaction and it produces a lot of heat. It can actually self ignite and you can get fire before it has set.
Need a workshop yes indeed. Could do small projects without but the mess is high! Whatever epoxy sticks/drips and sets on is history haha :) I use a high power hammer drill to remove it from concrete - then it breaks the concrete before the epoxy usually!
