Live Edge Epoxy Coating

I am coating a live edge slab with Epoxy resin, the epoxy I purchased self levels at a 1/8”. For the flood coat I am seeking the correct size trowel to achieve 1/8” thickness. Would I use a 1/8” trowel or 1/4”? Thank you in advance and here’s what it looks like after 3 seal coats.

Fish baton

I made a baton to give the fish I catch a swift death. I was tired of using whatever I had. I’ve been holding onto a chunk of 1” stainless solid bar for years, waiting for its purpose to become apparent. I found it in a scrap bin at work and thought I could use it. I’ve used it here and there to punch bolts that were stuck out and other random things but mainly it lived in the windowsill. I finally figured out it’s purpose when I recently started fishing again. The baton is 11” and I cut a 2” piece of the bar and set it in epoxy in a 1” deep pocket in the end. The wood is from a 3”x3 1/2” Lauan pallet skid. Finished with Teak Oil

Help! How do I seal this?

We had custom built in cabinets put in on either side of the fireplace. I chose a beautiful saman butcher block for the top (the live edge was the big seller). The info on the site says it is finished with a UV finish. The gentleman who did the cabinets said we need to seal the wood. What do I use? How many coats? Do I need to sand? It feels pretty smooth already. PLEASE HELP
