There is something called (I think) casting resin, which is a clear, 2 part resin similar if not identical to epoxy. It dries clear (or near as)and is deigned for fake water etc in dried flowers, lakes in modelling, that kind of thing. The main DRAWBACK of this, is to make an item as large as a tabletop would need quite a few tubs of resin. As this resin hardens it generates a LOT if heat, to the point that if more than 2 or 3 tubs are used at once it can catch fire!!!! If you can find a way of making the table in sections, then it is a doable project though.
