Wow, gorgeous! How did you like the automotive clear coat? What made you decide to go with that over varnish?

Thanks all for the advice!

We think the problem was from the heat, but not just from outgassing – the heat in our workspace was high enough to cause the epoxy to cure before the slight patterns left by our rollers and tipping brushes had time to settle/flow at all (eg the viscosity of our epoxy was too high due to the heat). We were able to fix the problem by applying each coat either very late at night or very early in the AM, which also helped with the bubbles from outgassing.

Thanks again all for the troubleshooting and feedback! Really appreciated!

Hey, thanks for posting such great photos and notes of your build! What did you use for the interior insulation? It looks great.

Thank you for the response!

We had the bubble problem more noticeably with the second layer we applied, actually – I’d thought that having the top layer on already would prevent outgassing?
