> [@Viper966](#): > > why couldnt you use a laquer made for bartops for this? that stuff is rock hard and doesnt scratch for shit the polyeurathane epoxy has almost identical cured properties to a lacquer. The epoxy is not easy to scratch. I made a set of tables for a friend over 2 years ago and the scratches are minimal. We’re talking something similar to spider webbing on a clear coat. 1 day old: no problems and over 2 years old: the biggest difference is UV protection, lacqures yellow over time and it’s more difficult to see this over wood. Over the stainless…yellowing is a lot easier to see. simple answer: My choice through experience. ---

> [@OneFastMonkey](#): > > Josh, > Willing to make pieces to sell or do you not want 10,000 orders for custom shit? haha, i tried that already and failed miserably since i was of no value to the fabrication process. I’m better off leaving it as a “hobby”. Besides, i’ve got too many other things on my plate as it is. I did make a set of tables for a Buffalo Bill a few months ago… he paid $4K for the set and loves them. ---

I like it sorta, I mean its Excellent work but I would have went with a better color then black, maybe a copper top would have looked nicer, these are just my opinions and I know you did them to match your stuff. Excellent craftsmanship though A+++++ ![http://www.nyspeed.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=6439&d=1227228320](http://www.nyspeed.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=6439&d=1227228320) ---

good stuff. if you need that epoxy in a pinch i stock it, just let me know. and epoxy is a much better choice than conversion varnish used on bar tops for sooo many reasons.
