Default Ipe top for outdoor table


Wipe the surfaces with acetone, then scuff up the IPE surface with a
24 grit right angle sander, then wet out the surfaces with some
laminating epoxy which you let set until tacky, then butter on some
epoxy thickened with micro-balloons to the tacky surfaces.


acetone actually draws oil to the surface. better to jsut freshly
mill/sand the surface.
