    Right where I want to be.
    That's a better view of the top Dave. Thanks.
    So, what's the 2 part finish?
    Epoxy?

    It's a light pourable epoxy I guess. Like pancake syrup.
    I use a propane torch to quickly run across it to get the air bubbles out.
    Takes about 2 hours of attention before it stops running & dripping off the sides.
    Crystal clear, you can see some set up, in the bottom of the cup.
    Got it at Lowes, "Glaze coat"
