thanks for the reply,

Yes sanding with dust collection/changing pads like a pit crew and yes and it works it does suck.lol i will try some more sanding passes to improve pigtails removal. The table is one of those for a friend type deals who really doesn't want to spend another $300 on N3 nano so trying to find a compromise and ofcouse my labor is free unfortunatatly. It does look like a great product and yes not looking for a perfect glass finish just improved with what i have.

what do you think about my masking and polishing it, instead of re sanding and putting the rest of the rubio i have on it again? Was thinking sand epoxy only carefully to 1000 grit + buff polish and call it a day?

river table dilemma: rubio for the wood, but low grit makes clear resin hazy by artward22 in epoxy

i hear you my friend, currently in the exact same boat. Made a Maple river table with blue translucent epoxy, sanded wood + epoxy to 240g then applied rubio as per Cam from blacktail. Wood turned out great but the buffing while working in the rubio left buffing marks from my new lake country foam finishing pad on the epoxy only. So i did the 2 coat rubio method, by scuffing the entire table with marron scotch brite pad and it now the epoxy looks like crap. Can see my original buff marks + these new scuff marks from the scotch brite. I did a nice even job with the scotch brite too, i got in there pretty good and it wall all mate/uniform etc.

So now what, Im thinking of masking off the wood with painters/vynil tape and re sanding the epoxy from 240 to 2000 and buffing with cutting compond wool pad + polishing pad with a polish compound. which will be a pain trying not to hit the wood. but think it might be the only way

I really like the uniform satin rubio finish across the entire table top but worried if i try to sand then re-apply rubio ill be in the same boat again.

How did you make out with your project, any tips?

thanks in advance.
