What a great method! I can't wait to try this! Thanks!
EDIT: I was just thinking - I bet this would work with glitter, too. I gotta try that, also!
Sure would. I am not a glitter girl myself but the possibilities are endless.
EXCELLENGT PRESENTATION, Thank you.
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks for pointing to this video from your old one :)
Your welcome. I'm working on a gold fill next.
Love this video! Thank you!
So glad!
👏👏😍😍
Thank you!
Very good video! What torch do you use and laser? Thank you.
Thank you. I can't wait to do more. I have a Epilog Mini 50 Watt Laser. The torch is just a basic culinary kitchen butane Torch. Great for popping bubbles in resin.
@@1elephantmemories is the epilog hard to work. Is it easy to learn. Do you wear a respirator ? Do you have venting ?
@@petra3049 The Epilog laser is very easy. You can basically think of it as a printer, but instead of ink, it uses a laser beam. If you know how to use some type of designing program like Corel Draw or Adobe Illustrator, then you can use a laser. It takes a little practice to understand the setting but it is pretty easy. You do not have to wear a respirator for the laser. Yes, we do have this vented outside. When we first bought this, we set it up in a bedroom in our house and just put the vent in a window. Epilog is a workhorse and made in America. Great customer service.
@@1elephantmemories what do you use for a design program.
@@petra3049 I use Adobe Illustrator CS4 It is an old version I bought many years ago but still works perfect for what I need. Adobe now has an online subscription called Creative Cloud (CC). However, my husband uses Corel Draw. Both work equally well. It is really just whatever you might know.
Hi,
Love your presentation.
What colouring is suitable for logo and Personalised messages on cutting boards ?
Regards
Paul
The pigments come in every color, so for a logo, I would go directly to the pigment company's website. I personally use Eye Candy Pigments. There is a link in the description. Then try to match your logo color with what they have available. As for personalized messages, I would consider the type of wood you are using. Is it dark like walnut, medium like cherry or light like maple. Then pic colors that compliment the wood with a consideration to your message. They even have glow in the dark and neon. Good luck!
@@1elephantmemories thank you so much for such a prompt reply. My cutting boards are made from various strips of hardwood, i.e. walnut, mahogany, cherry, ash, oak, cherrywood, iroka, maple, beech - the logo and message could be on any of these woods, engraved with a cnc router. I don’t think I can send you photographs on this medium. Any recommendations and Im sure the paint is good safe.
@@PaulMarlmountWoodcrafts pigment powders and most colorfill type paint is not food safe. I would suggest that you do more of a resin inlay. You can follow the instructions on this video using the epoxy resin technique by adding a clear resin on top, then sanding it smooth, gradually going up to 400 or higher sandpaper. Then adding a natural, food safe wood conditioner like Bumblechutes. I will be adding a video on resin inlays in the future too. Make sure your epoxy resin is BPA and VOC free. I typically use Totalboat Tabletop epoxy. There are links in the description on these products if that helps. By adding a food safe epoxy to seal the paint or pigment powder, your cutting board will be safe for people to use. I tell people to use the back side for cutting and the front with the epoxy resin for serving.
@@1elephantmemories thank you, appreciated

Is there a difference between mica powder and pigment powder? Can you use either one?
Great question. There is a difference. Mica is ground into a fine powder from minerals making it all natural. Pigment powder can also be made from minerals and precious stones but also from artificial sources. Both work equally well with this method.
