Resin and lacquer for Cypress table

[jayendra]

Tonight I'm going to apply tape on the back side (and/or some hot glue) then I'm going to apply hot glue and / or bluetac around the edge of the cracks as a wall, then resin.

Do I need to worry about the hot glue leaving a mark?

No
you will plane, scrape, sand any marks out when you finish the slab.

Blow torch was perfect for removing bubbles

Little bit of bleed under the tape but sanding and scraping working well

Sorry about reopening such an old thread.
Jayendra that table is amazing but the question I would love to have an answer for is the timber cypress pine, Callitris columellaris?
if it is cypress pine I would be very interest in how the glue joints have survived time.
Did you use some sort of dowel/biscuit support on the joints and what glue did you use?

I'm sure others could answer this as I purchased the local board made ready.

My cousin also does similar stuff with Titebond III Titebond III Ultimate – Titebond Glues and Adhesives: Woodbond Adhesives Pty Ltd
