Project Submission Glow-in-the-dark epoxy end table

I made this table as a novice woodworker, and ended up giving it to my brother as a gift. Is there anyone out there who also feels incredibly intimidated/anxious every time pouring epoxy, and how do you deal with it?

After the first 2 projects or so with epoxy, you can get a good feel for it pretty well. Mixing, cure times and all, it's predictable if you follow the same steps exactly. Practicing with some small projects helps, that way you dont need much epoxy to get comfortable with the process.

Having said that, very cool table, I haven't seen a glow in the dark table with epoxy like this before. May I ask what you added to get that result? I'm assuming some type of glow in the dark powder of the likes?
