Make a high gloss resin game table that will last for years and years!
I made this game table for a park in my neighborhood that is filled with the elderly. I thought they could use a new game board.

    Step 3

    Glue the 22" x 1 1/4" pieces to opposite sides of the plywood
    Glue the 22 3/4" x 1 1/14" pieces to the remaining sides of the plywood
    Paint the trim with the Dazzling Metallics
    Generously coat the checkerboard with the sealer on both sides
    Cut enough strips of scrapbook paper to frame the table
    Coat both sides of the scrapbook paper with sealer
    *This will ensure the the Glaze Coat doesn't darken the paper

    Step 4

    Glue your strips around the table with the spray adhesive on two sides
    Cut the ends at 45˙ angles to create mitered edges
    *For this next part you'll want to work outside
    Mix 1 quart of Glaze Coat for 5 minutes
    Evenly pour onto the table
    Pop the bubbles with a long arm lighter or small torch
    Cover and let dry overnight
    Add another layer of Glaze Coat if you haven't filled it enough
