I just applied the epoxy to the top of my bar I built there are a couple areas that are looking a little uneven and while drying 2 little bugs decided to land on it and make my day bad. So now I have 2 holes that have bug legs on my bar. Any suggestions on how to touch this up or fix the problem? I tried a lighter to melt the holes but it didnt work for me.

I'm not a carpenter/cabinet maker but i would think cutting/drilling out the bug parts, filling in the holes, progressively sanding the top, then buffing out the bar would be the approach.

Here's a thread on buffing epoxy:

You would take that kind of character out of your bar??

I just KNOW that there are people who pay big bucks for someone to do just that sort of thing.

Sand the whole surface with 220 grit sandpaper and add an additional layer. With our without the bugs.

Thanks for the tips. It actually didnt turn out at bad as I thought. But it could use a second layer I think. The bar is just something I put together on a budget and Ive never built anything before.
