My brother got this little table from a garage sell and we decided we wanted to put bottle caps on the top of the table and then resin over it so it would look like they are in the table. What I'm wondering is what kind of resin should I use? and is putting resin over it the right way to do something like this? I saw the guys on west coast costoms do something similar to that with a picture frame and some records and they used resin.

any feedback and/or suggestions are greatly appreciated, thanks

If you are going to use resin, you'll need SurfBoard resin. It dries completely clear.

Epoxy is sometimes used for what you want to acheive
