I got chatting to a workmate who wanted a IOM TT track on his wall. I wanted to have a go at epoxy resin in wood after seeing Wal's work so I offered to give it a go. I have a few issues to fix if I want to start to sell items like this but I'm pretty pleased with the first attempt.
First issue is the panel has bowed so I think I'll have to rough out the shape, skim the back flat and then finish the front. Secondly, the resin seemed to take way longer to cure than the recommended 12-24hrs...I'm not sure if this is because of the pigment, Temperature or just the resin....I need to experiment a little more I think.
The resin also chipped slightly so I think I will machine the swirl in two passes next time. Any recommendations on what to use to polish up the resin?
