Wood & Resin

This will end up being a handle for a Magnifying glass or letter opener. It might even end up as a pen body.

 

The wood is Poplar Burl that has been Stabilised. The resin is Alumilite Amazing clear cast.

Thank you guys for the comments.

 

I forgot to mention in the video. 

I left the blank in the pressure pot for a couple of hours and then let it cure at room temp for a couple of days.

 

Cheers

Paul

Looks great, I also use Amazing clear cast with wood and I am very happy with the results. The Alumilite dye is very concentrated, I found that when casting something small, pen, bottle stopper etc, if you put a drop of dye on a plastic cap and then dip the end of a toothpick in the dye to add very small amounts you can control the color and get the shade you want. That's the advantage of the long open time of this resin it gives you time to make the adjustments you want.

If you haven't tried the Pearl Ex powered pigments give them a try, you can get some amazing metallic looks with those.

Thanks Cody

 

I will definitely use that tip for adding the colour.

Pearl ex is on the shopping list.
