How thick should a tabletop epoxy coat be?

Most tabletop epoxies self-level at about ⅛ in per coat. For more depth, pour a second coat after the first is tack-free.

Do I need a seal coat?

On bare wood, yes: a thin scraped-on seal coat (about 1/32 in) stops air bubbles rising from the grain. Our tabletop coating calculator adds it.
