CD Table

The original table wasn't this pretty and took two weeks of work as time allowed before the finished product was revealed.

I discovered this table in the barn and used it as a drink table for a picnic. Covering it with a table cloth to hide the ugly, I almost threw it away after the picnic but decided to try and give it a new life.

I primed the table with a KILZ primer and hoped for the best. It wasn't the result I was looking for and knew more coats of primer were in my future

I took two coats of primer before it was ready for a regular latex pain.

I painfully (blisters to prove it) cut probably 50 cd's (a spindle) using poultry scissors to get enough to completely cover the table. Each piece was laid out on the table before I glued it to determine the best pattern.

I glued down each piece with Elmer's glue and let it set over night. I then polished the pieces to remove fingerprints and took an air compressor to blow off any dust.

The table was then taped with a heavy duty duct tape along the edges to form a barrier for the epoxy. Please read the instructions carefully when working with the epoxy.

Once the epoxy cured for two days I removed the duct tape and touched up the sides where some of the painted had peeled off. The table was ready to go and had been given and second chance. I was pretty pleased with the results considering this was my first attempt at a CD table or working with epoxy. Thanks for letting me share my story.
