Follow along to create a beautiful, one of a kind Upstart Epoxy side table! We'll be using our Deep Pour epoxy and some gorgeous Mica Powder for the colorant.
Mix the colorants into the Deep Pour parts
Pour the Deep Pour parts into the mold and mix them together really well
Heat up the epoxy to remove any bubbles
Add bullet casings into the epoxy once the mixture is nice and tacky
Add a thick layer of Deep Pour on top of everything
Use heat to remove any bubbles that rise to the top and let sit for 24 to 72 hours
Carefully separate the mold from your project
Sand the project to clean up any rough edges and give the surface a smooth finish
Adding oil helps protect and enhance the epoxy surface

How much mica powder do I add to the mixture?
Start with a small amount and gradually add more, until you achieve the opacity desired. It's not recommended that you use more than 3 grams of mica powder to each gallon of epoxy.
How much Deep Pour do I use?
Matt used 2.5 Gallons of deep pour for this project. The cookies shown are approximately 18" in diameter. If your side tables are a different size, you can use our FREE calculator to calculate exactly how much deep pour epoxy you will need.
What type of legs did Matt use?
16" Black Mid-Century Modern legs from the brand OrgerphyÂ
What size are the tables?
Approximately 18" in diameter and 18" tall with the legs attached
Where do I get the wood?
Matt got his cookies for this project the old fashioned way...by making them himself! We recommend checking your local Facebook Marketplace for the best deals on pre-cut cookies. If you can't find any good local options, some of our favorite online wood suppliers are The Lumber Shack and Woodworkers Source.
Should I use live ammunition or casings?
We recommend using casings for this project instead of live ammunition
