 i have a question i figured you guys may know how to do what i speak of,

 

 if you have ever been to a bar that has  tables that have a thick clear coat on them, with pictures underneath,

 or  like a ski ball table,

 is that lacquer ? or fiber glass resien?

 

 i have a table that has reclaimed wood on the top, its nice, and i would like to protect it and make it nicer and use it as a coffee table,

 

 can anyone help?

Never used it, but everyone raves about their fiberglass resin so I'd imagine it's a solid product.

It's a specific type of epoxy resin. I would imagine the big box home improvement stores probably sell a similar product as well. I've seen them use the same type of product on DIY shows before.

That is where I bought mine. Coated the concrete sink I made in it. Epoxy Resin.

It'll cost more and may not be clear. Worth a call to US to figure out what you want for the job, they were super helpful. Mihgt have just chatted online.

I finally bought a 18 gun safe and a 1/4 of it is filled silver coins. Might have to get another just for the silver and coin collection.

Side note on coins. Oddly enough ebay of all places is no longer allowing the sale of clad or layered coins. Good for the consumer since people have tried to pass them off as guaranteed shit. Bad if you actually write that they are not solid gold, but just layers, and then they make you take it down.

Now to find a way to get rid of 8 1oz clad bars somehow LOL

Most all my coins are proofs from the mint gold and silver.

Its the best way to go. No sense in buying elsewhere. They usually don't make it up sky high.

John, I have done several tables like this and some park benches with inlays.  This is where I get all my stuff.  They have the best prices, fanstastic products and are EXTREMELY helpful.

Do want new keyboard.

Want backlit.

Probably mechanical.

Teo aren't you a bit of a keyboard junkie????

 

I think this is the second time you assume I know about that subject, lol.

First time was about a mouse I think.

 

I too need a new setup, both keyboard and mouse. Backlit keyboard for sure, I live in a dark dungeon.
