ikr, I cant imagine that glue is going to hold for long, with lots of walking.

Definitely not. And what about oxide? Won’t the shiny pennies become tarnished to the same color as the dark pennies? If so, the pattern will disappear.

I’ve made table tops in this pattern with epoxy, the shiny ones stay beautiful and shiny, table is 5 years old and no deterioration at all.

Do you think that’s the plan for this floor, to pour a resin finish? Have you ever seen the resin art of Emil Norman?

Idk but I was thinking about:

1) pouring epoxy could be a disaster if the floor isn’t level

2) they must not live in the space yet because the epoxy would take at least 72 hours to cure

3) the floor is going to weigh a ton more, I underestimated how heavy the Pennie’s and epoxy are, my table weighs a ton

This sounds like a slab foundation is a must.

It should be. If not the amount of tarnish will change quicker
