probably shellack coat? Adds another step to the plenty. And: with that penetration it indeed disappeares in the wood, after some minutes the surface of the just cast resin is sunk. If one tries to cast a “heap” of resin, because it appears so viscous: the resin decides now to become fluid, and flows around everywhere, and just a painters’ tape is by far not enough to hold it: resin will find tiny holes to escape.
there are translucent dyes, if one does not take those the resin will not be translucent (the blue isn’t)
it takes a lot of Resin
Idea came from Ryan’s (CICworkshop, I love that guy…) christmas project:
Ah yes…… Just when we figure out how to initialize the machine, set tool paths up, load the tool paths and hit the start button to remove wood we then realize its another adventurous path to fill in the holes we just created!
The clock looks great and what a neat idea, I like clock in the window with the glow thru the resin.
