This is usually recommended to avoid drips of resin from drying to sides of your project, but I did it to keep the duct tape from getting my table all sticky (see Step 6). Don't forget to also tape up any holes on the surface of your table. I did this from underneath so that th...
You can change the appearance of your piece of furniture by using different products like a wax or stain to change the look of the wood and of course you can change the appearance of the river too by using different colours, or embedding objects in the resin pours. The resin also looked ...
Does anyone know how to use Polyresin to create and preserve real natural flowers? I would like to learn the process of this so if you have any information on this, please post your response. Thanks, March Byanon8642— On Feb 18, 2008 ...
All resins lose some volume when curing. This causes force being applied to solder joints and the LEDs themselves. The type I used has a shrinkage of less than 3%, which is typical of epoxy resin (EP). According to my research polyurethane resin (PUR) might be used alternatively, however...
I built the base first with the side walls. I glued these together with a hot glue gun. I built up the basin mould separately. I fixed the box together using pre drilled holes and wood screws, which meant I had to use a 2 part resin wood filler to fill in any gaps and the counte...
inches, this is becasue this casting resin is exothemic and deep casts cause loads of heat and can crack or cause large bubbles to form while curing. Instead I poured resin into the branch void in 2 shallow fills, waiting about 4 hours between pours to allow the previous resin pour to ...
Use something flat to spread it out and push the resin into all of the nooks and crannies. Use your heat source to pop any bubbles that start forming. I ended up doing two pours of the epoxy resin. The first pour leaked through the bottom of the map and left some of the rivers only...
per the manufacturers directions. This epoxy is good for pours between 1/2” and 1 ½ “, and has an excellent release of bubbles. I mixed a small amount of EcoPoxy Pearl Metallic Color Pigment as the color for this project (1/2 teaspoon per resin pour – a little goes a long way...
Trying to dump a big puddle of resin will just end up with a lot on the floor. At this point I use a chip brush to transfer the resin from my mixing cup to the boat. The goal is to quickly get the epoxy out of the cup on to the boat. I don't need to saturate every square...
