    I have used epoxy as a finish using Indian ink as a black colour to stain the epoxy. This looks good but I have found it very difficult to get a smooth bubble free finish despite using a heat gun and gas torch to remove bubbles. I also tried epoxy as a clear finish and had the same issues. If you have experience with epoxy you may get better results than me.

    Hi Jimmy,
    Did you pour (the epoxy) on receding temps? Sometimes you can do a cheat layer, brushing a really thin layer down, till it gets tacky and then do your coat, this could keep gassing at bay. But really, sometimes you can't help it from happening no matter what you do.

    And this has decided me to look at the poly options for now.
