I'm building a pair of 3-drawer nightstands and using a slab of cypress for the drawer faces.
The final pour of epoxy started out fine, just "proud" of the surface in the major voids, but overnight the epoxy ran out of the voids and onto the surface of the wood.
Causes for this I think are fairly obvious in hindsight:
- The form and slab are not completely level.
- Ecopoxy 2:1 liquid plastic dries slowly and is very runny.
I'd like to pour one more batch of epoxy to fill these voids "proud" again, but this time I think a little silicone/hot glue boundary might keep the epoxy from running over again.
So the question is, should I use silicone or hot glue to prevent epoxy from running? I don't have a hot glue gun or a caulking gun, nor have I ever used either in a wood project. Ultimately, my requirements are simple:
- Does not bind to the epoxy
- Can be removed easily
- Won't stain wood (I will be planing afterward, so this doesn't matter as much).
Any recommendations for specific silicone/hot glue products to get this job done are appreciated!
