DIY - Beer Bottle Cap Table Top

Hey! Hey! Hey!

Cheers!

I am working on my first Beer Bottle Cap DIY Project! I had this table just sitting around the house that had been colored on by a precious child at some point. So, any of your feedback on my table would be great!! I am a Newbie around here and I am working on starting my first Bock Brew.
I have started a thread for any of you who would like to help a sista out - I am looking for Great Advice from Everyone! in the Beginners Thread. Hope to see some of you fellow long-time brewers stop on by and check it out and give me any advice! I should start fulling brewing this weekend - as this week I am finishing up grabbing my final supplies! :cross:


Any who... I started this project last week. Let's see what you guys think!












The first few pictures clearly show you the type of table I am working with here, peeps!
I used a Silver Spray Paint to cover the wooden table before I started with the Beer Caps.


Keep Reading!! I think it's only gonna get better!





Peace. Love. & Beer.

Yo!! One more post --- I told you guys to keep reading! I wanted to show you guys what I am working with here and how far i have come since painting the table tops.

The first picture --- shows you how much my hubby and I seriously drink!

The second picture --- describes what the top of the table top is looking like.

I started out with Super Glue - 3 bottles of only 4 oz. Then Mod Podge is not the type of adhesive to be working with metal and wood... Just not happening. But decided to go to the Hot Glue Route! As of now, I am currently hot gluing the bottle caps on the wooden plank.


Keep Following You Guys!!
As I work, I will drink one for you!



Peace. Love. & Beer.

Hey Sassy- I like the idea of making a design with the caps! Check here using search and see the tables using 2 part epoxy resin. See what they're using to glue down the caps.

Exactly what I am using!! I am hot gluing everything down now.. I wanted to wait to get both levels done with beer caps before I do the Epoxy Resin...

My only question... How do I keep the resin from running off my table? Thought about using tape.. But then decided that the tape would glue to the sides anyways since Epoxy is an adhesive...

Build a dam out of wood, like pouring concrete.

In woodworking, we use "paper joints" for some temporary glue-ups. Put a piece of heavy brown paper (grocery bag) between the pieces with the wood glue - then the joint can be separated with a mallet and the remaining paper can be scraped/sanded off.

For epoxy, a similar idea could work - you're going to end up with a square edge on the resin surface anyhow from the dam, so you'll be wet-sanding it once the resin is cured. Build a frame out of some scrap wood that fits tight around the edge, lined with waxed paper.
