: Have a go of it. Lay the cloth on dry with plenty of overhang (many builders
: do this the night before, I haven't).

That's all I will do this evening 'cause there's a hockey game on!

You will notice that you can manipulate the
: cloth's strands as you put down the epoxy. You'll soon learn to use this
: cloth manipulation to get rid of bubbles or humps and keep the glass flat
: to the wood.

That's an important point I just picked up on today.

: And by all means, HAVE FUN! That's really what it's all about. Enjoy a
: refreshing beverage with headphones on. I know that you alrady know all of
: this, just a reminder. Let us know how it goes. And pics.

Thanks for the tips. Epoxying is planned for tomorrow morning just before heading out to bottle some wine. Then the 2nd coat with a beverage & tunes. And I will post some photos shortly thereafter.
