Hi there, I'm looking to coat some wooden pieces from a car I'm restoring. I've watched a bunch of tutorials using epoxy to get a glass like finish on wooden table tops and your own penny floor one. Is it possible to get the same finish on wood that's not flat / has compound curves etc? if so what resin would be best and what's the best way to apply it?

Thanks.

On curved pieces you can still get a great effect, however you need to be a bit more patient as you can only build up thin layers so you will need to apply several thin layers of resin (much like carbon skinning) then once the build up is thick enough, allow it to fully cure and then you can wet sand it and polish to get a nice smooth high gloss finish like you would on a flatter piece of wood.

Thanks for the help guys, which resin would you recommend?
Fasta that piece looks great, just the look I'm after

For brush application I would go for our XCR coating epoxy.  which is the same resin we use in our skinning kits and basically the same technique too.
