Equipment

  • Heat Gun

Ingredients

  • Wood Serving Tray
  • with Behr Ultra Scuff Defense
  • Total Boat Table Top Epoxy
  • Folk Art Paint in True Blue Ocean View, and Titanium White

Instructions

  • Paint the tray with 2 coats of Behr Ultra Scuff Defense stain-blocking paint and primer in one. I chose the color Broadway.
  • Let it dry in between coats. Mix Total Boat Table Top Epoxy, and I add it to the Total Boat container.
  • Follow the instructions and mix a ratio of 1:1 for 3 minutes. Mix slowly to prevent bubbles.
  • Place some of the Total Boat epoxy in 3 small containers, reserving some of the clear. Add a small drop of Folk Art Acrylic paint in the colors True Blue, Ocean View, and Titanium White to each container. Mix the paint into the epoxy.
  • Pour the tinted epoxy onto the serving tray. Start with the true blue in the back, and the ocean view in the middle.
  • With a glove on smear epoxy over the surface and blend the colors together.
  • Put clear epoxy on the remaining portion of the tray bottom, and use the white on top of that.
  • Use a Heat Gun to push the paint around with it creating some waves.
