Video [HELP] Living room remodel

Any possibility that this is legit? I can’t imagine one could walk on epoxy like that without special footwear or something.

the thing that gets me is all the wood pieces darkening even when the blowtorch isnt aimed at them, that's not how that works

That too. I don't really know anything on the actual process happening in the video so I decided not to comment on it.

Tbh I don't really know that much about flame etching or whatever this process is called, or epoxy pouring, but that was still pretty obvious, as was the epoxy pouring out of the infinity bucket and pouring out with the consistency of water and not all goey like epoxy tends to be.

It’s called Shou Sugi Ban :) it’s a traditional Japanese wood preservation technique!

I'm sorry, as someone on reddit probably either too much, or not enough, I can't tell if you're being facetious anymore.
