So I finally built my portable home bar but I would like to have a bottle cap bar top with epoxy coating. However, I do not want to add wooden edges to contain the epoxy when I pour it over the bottle caps because of the wooden molding design that is already present. So what would be the most effective way to contain the epoxy when pouring? If any members have bar-building experience either at home or for commercial "alcohol-serving" establishments, thoughts and comments would be greatly appreciated.

I would think you would go to an auto parts store and get a filler like Bondo .
Bondo has a pretty high heat rating and is not flammable in your conditions. You will sand the areas, use mesh for bigger holes and apply. You can't put this stuff on paint - it won't stick well. And I would make sure the bonding area is rust free too. This should be about a 2 hour job.
If Bessey K style are not in the budget, Bessey H pipe end clamps are very economical, with new lengths available for the price of an iron (or steel) pipe.

I have built a few and I used casting resin. i got it from a fiberglass boat builder. it set up very fast but is self leveling. we let it drip off the sides and cleaned up the edges after it cured with a router and 440 and 1600 paper. I have encased fishing lures, German coasters etc. it cures hard as stone and very transparent. It has to be poured monolithic and quickly. We use plastic non stick auto body tools to move it around. The results are incredible. Like a 1/4 inch of glass.
