I have made hundreds of tables 1.1/8 thick lam top &btm with 1/16th lam you can use 3m spray 90 for glue , self edge wood T- mold this is very clean and strong just like Ferg said . IMHO.
Eric that all sounds good don't forget the soda rinse and you can warm the roon and just paint brush it on. i like the final finish 50/50 resolene & water airbrushed .IMHO the airbrush makes all the difference especially with resolene.
Yes for me it was the five stolhman award winners John Bianchi & the{ EPS very important for me } but i am sure all the machines like the Cowboy and others are great machines also. Hope this helps best of luck.
