How To Encase Corks in Epoxy Resin (Or Anything For That Matter)

In this video, Steve with a Upstart Epoxy shows you how to encase items into epoxy resin. For the purposes of this video we decided to encase corks into this single serve cork board. We started off by adhering a few pieces of Olivewood into our HDPE form. We then poured a small thin layer of our table top epoxy to hold the various corks into place. Then, once the initial layer of epoxy has cured we go ahead and pour a second layer of deep pour epoxy because the depth is more than 1/8 of an inch. After 72 hours both layers of epoxy will have cured and we are ready to take it outside for refinement. First, we start off by cutting all the edges of the piece to Then, we run the work through our planer to flatten both sides of the piece equally. Once planed, we sand all sides of the piece and because this is a single serve corkboard we also included handles on the side for ease of use. A quick chamfering of all the edges allows for a clean and sophisticated look as well. We are sure you have seen many videos online of makers in casing items into epoxy resin and we hope you learn how to do the same with this video by Upstart Epoxy.
