Hi I am new to resins and for a school project have got hold of a piece of yew wood. My plan is to encapsulate the sanded bit of yew within the clear resin. I am going to use the resin to fill out the edges of the wood so that it is square because the wood has a rough jagged edge with bark still on. The project is to be a coffee table. The rectangular size for the whole table will be 88x64x5cm so it is fairly large. I have calculated the amount of resin needed and will be roughly 5kg worth of it. I will make a plywood box for the mould lined with mould release. Is clear polyester resin suitable for this table and if so would I be able to do the resin in one go.
Many thanks
