well eveadently I didnt have enough coffee this morning before putting the expoy resin on my finished projects. I know drinking decaff it shouldnt matter but some how it does lol its a trick your mind kind of thing lol  well anyway I made up the expoy resin and i knew right away  i made WAY to much but i figured it was ok as i had some other stuff set out to use the left over on.  It worked great when i put the expoy resin on the first side of my dragon house sign. now i dont know if it starts setting up faster the more you make but i quickly put it on the second side of the dragon house sign and it went on pretty easly and nicely. Although as i was putting it on i did notice that when i did the first side some of it somehow got on the bottom side and theres some little bumps of expoy resin on the unfinished side .  I will have to pratice more i think before puttingi it on anything for selling so this dosnt happen again.  but like i said the second side dosnt look bad and i dont think anyone will notice the little bumps of expoy resin on the second side and if some one does notice it and ask me about it i'll just say yes i know i did that on purpuse lol to give it some depth or something lol that has worked wounders on other projects as long as the goof wasnt to bad. lol  well like i siad i made way to much expoy resion so i quickly got the 3 armor of God sets i made and starting putting it on those.....like i said it worked great when i id the first side but this time the expoxy resion started to cure a lot faster then it did when i did the first side so it didnt go on as nicely and smoothly as it should have even though i started working faster and faster so that i could get all the peices of all the sets done.  now it would have been better if i had done one set at a time so i wouldnt have had to do all the peices, just the one set but of course i didnt do that. we will see how bad they look after they dry. if they look to bad i'll try sanding the resin and paint off and start all over again with the painting and finishing.... if that dosnt work i'll just have to toss them out and start all over again from scratch.  i really hate it when i have to do that lol just goes to show no matter how long or how experenced you are in something you can still really mess things up!! lol at least it wasnt food lol most of the time with wood you can easely fix or hid the goof lol.  its a little harder with food lol well im off to go see what i can get into next.....spike's doing laundary today so i cant work in the woodshop as thats where the dryer is and hes using the plug i plug the heater in .... although IF it gets as  warm as they say it will i might not need it.
