End Table Band Project

[slcraiders]

Kewl table ..is there something on top of the bands?

Yes'm.. ..there is. After getting the bands downs and tight, I taped down the edge (blue tape in second pic) and applied a coat of Envirotex. Envirotex is a 2 part solution (resin and hardener) that when mixed together and applied, dries to a hard glass like finish on the surface sealing in whatever you pour/brush it over. After 12 hours, I applied a second coat for good measure. It is hard for the camera to pick up, but there is about a 1/8 inch layer of hard clear surface above the bands.

Very nice, looks professional!

In addition to Cinda's question, how did you determine the placement? Just put 'em on any ol' way or did you plan where you wanted them at?

Other than keeping the bands in the same direction throughout (vertical and horizontal), there were no rules for placement- just wherever certain bands seemed to fit. Also, I tried not to use the same band more than twice. It worked out nice in that a GOF label played in dead center.
