craziness all right what we're going to do   is we're actually going to set this up on the 
lathe I'm going to make something here we go easy to find center on that right that's 
cool all right man wow look at that   it's got some really neat stuff in there going 
on it's gonna be interesting to make something   out of this all right let's get center on

pretty good eyeball all right let's do it guys uh you know who Carl Jacobson is

more fun so if you need something to relieve that   stress and create functional art that's world 
class i mean Carl Jacobson makes museum quality   pieces and teaches you how on his youtube

go carl this one's for you brother nice did you know stone coat epoxy is amazing 
to polish out I'm going to show you how   right now stay tuned we're going to make something 
really cool i don't know what we're going to make   it's out of excess epoxy it would have gone in 
the trash turn your trash into cash here we go look at that it's pretty sick huh it's gonna be cool man woohoo so I'm gonna go through all the grips my uh 300 grit hand yeah right did you guys know that the uh the discs that we 
carry in our sanding kit at Stone Coat Countertops   are designed to sand bowling balls 
well they're reactive resin that's   what they're designed to sand so 
epoxy is the same exact family   so that's why it stands out like glass 
i love these sanding kits check them out boy it's actually translucent right there you 
can see through it yeah yeah I'll show I'll   do the light there grit is that 4 000 wow 
is that the final one before uh we polish i feel that as smooth as a baby's bottom okay that's what the 4000 grit gets you man this 
is it's it's really really really really smooth   we got rid of all the tool 
marks what i love about this   test is we put every kind of epoxy that we 
sell into this mold and all of it polishes up well what i like about this uh this 
polish is it breaks down it starts   out a little bit more aggressive and 
then as you work it it breaks down   i think what i might get is a is a compounding 
disc here yeah I'd say that polish does the trick all right I'm gonna do the inside guys if you 
want the best epoxy polish you need to visit our   website this stuff does not require a lot of labor 
it was very easy to polish this out to museum   quality i mean this is really fun to do talk 
about satisfying i just apply it with a rag and   then I'm going to come back with my compounding 
white pad and I'm just going to work that in i like that it's translucent man all right do hey hey want to see what i 
just made yeah look at that   that's all done with the epoxy scraps 
it's amazing it's a change jar it's a   ice cream dish it's a piece of art oh look at 
the white back here that looks sick so you can   see through the rim no oh yeah you can it's 
translucent look at look at through that yeah   see how i was this would be so sick to make
