Barry SchwartzI am clumsily constructing a new step, primarily of wood and epoxy. So far mostly wood. Yellow pine 2-by-6 and scraps of black ash. There are Japanese wooden nails you can see if I turn it over. I will partially fill the spaces between the boards with epoxy (having sealed the ends with UV resin) and reinforce the whole bottom with epoxy. Then I will turn it over and put on layers of epoxy.<br> <br> I use Nicpro epoxy. The same chemical formula is available from an increasing number of other brands. It has fabulous properties, among which is that it degasses without a hitch in a vacuum chamber.<br> <br> I generally do not use coating epoxies. They bubble fiercely. If I have a mold or for some light coating jobs I may use Superclear Liquid Glass. But even the 24-hour formula does not harden until near the end, and isn't as good at heated curing as is the Nicpro.<br> <br> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/alt4me?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#alt4me</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/epoxy?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#epoxy</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/epoxyResin?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#epoxyResin</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/UVResin?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#UVResin</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/woodworking?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#woodworking</a>
MandolinistryAnother charcuterie board I made for the shop. This one is pecky cypress, a form of swamp cypress which has big chunks eaten away by fungus. I filled it in with Ecopoxy resin tinted blue, and finished it with a coat of polyurethane.<br> <br> <a href="https://metapixl.com/discover/tags/woodworking?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#woodworking</a> <a href="https://metapixl.com/discover/tags/charcuterieboard?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#charcuterieboard</a> <a href="https://metapixl.com/discover/tags/epoxyart?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#epoxyart</a> <a href="https://metapixl.com/discover/tags/epoxyresin?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#epoxyresin</a>
Sumire<p>So, da haben wir nun einmal ein fertiges 6er Set Perlen und die Perlen, die ich gestern angesetzt hab und heute rausholen konnte. Bin ziemlich zufrieden. Glaube, meiner Mama werden sie gefallen.</p><p>Sie sind gefüllt mit allerlei Glitzerkram und kleineren Perlen, die ich vom Basteln hier noch rumliegen hatte. In der Grünen ist sogar Moos.</p><p><a href="https://rollenspiel.social/tags/diy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>diy</span></a> <a href="https://rollenspiel.social/tags/beads" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>beads</span></a> <a href="https://rollenspiel.social/tags/perlen" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>perlen</span></a> <a href="https://rollenspiel.social/tags/epoxyresin" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>epoxyresin</span></a></p>
Cathy Outlet<p>My newest <a href="https://ohai.social/tags/resin" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>resin</span></a> creation! This prototype is the result of a collaboration between me and Michelle from PieceofCraftNL on Etsy. </p><p>Basically, it’s a custom 3D-printed model which I helped design. A silicone mold was made from the model which I then coated in color-shifting pigment flakes into which I poured black <a href="https://ohai.social/tags/epoxyresin" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>epoxyresin</span></a>. It’s not perfect but I‘m still very happy with how it turned out.</p><p><a href="https://ohai.social/tags/ballpython" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ballpython</span></a> <a href="https://ohai.social/tags/CreativeToots" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CreativeToots</span></a></p>
