What kind of finish can you put on a mosaic end table?
Question:I just created a mosaic top on an end table. I used colored glad and sanded grout. I have a baby and I am wanting a smooth top so he will not hurt himself on the small areas that are not very smooth. Any suggestions on what I can use ( as a clear cover) to put over this piece?
Answers:
There are clear self-leveling epoxy finishes that you could put over it. I'm not sure if you can get them at a home improvement store, but you can try. Just explain to them what you want it for, and they should be able to tell you if they have it. A place you can get it for sure, is at a specialty woodworking store, if you have any in your area.
If you can't get it, you can find clear spray on epoxy finishes. I think that if you sprayed on a number of coats of this stuff, it should take away the roughness of the tabletop.
Hard Clear Acrylic can be a good option for when it is finished. Buy a sheet ( as thick as you like) and have the people at Home depot cut it in the shape and size of your table. It looks like glass , but of course it is safe.
