Designing a better bed

[Sven]

I' ve been reading up on EG as my own ideas are taking shape.
As far as I' read, vibrating EG does not work unless you use a mix with too much epoxy for a small size casting. Too much meaning it will yield an end result that has some shrinkage and maybe some warp.

The best seems to be a mix that is "very dry" compared to what most people on forums seem to be using: in the 4% area, or a bit wetter where it needs to adhere to another material.
Also, best to use various grain sizes, the next size 1/5th of the previous.

Put a measured amount in a jar, then add the smaller size and shake until the volume increases and you know the ratio.

A dry mix like that will need stamping.

And off course, make sure to do trials :)
