<p>[QUOTE="springfld.arsenal, post: 35594, member: 54"]<i>Do you have any suggestions for making the top a little glossier?</i></p><p><br /></p><p>Get 2-part epoxy resin, the transparent stuff. Make a liquid-proof circular dam around the tabletop edge that sticks up at least say an inch higher than the highest piece of ceramic. Get the tabletop perfectly level. Mix enough resin (you have of course carefully calculated how much you'll need) and pour inside dam until there's at least say 1/4 inch of resin above the highest ceramic piece and let it harden. 1/4 inch is just the minimum I'd recommend-make it deeper if u like, just be sure to have enuf resin onhand for the desired depth. Remove dam when stuff has hardened. Get an alcoholic beverage in a glass or bottle sitting on the table. Drink it. Now table is done and has been tested.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
