Love your work! I'll finish watching this series then have a go at making these. Did you know that if you paint the epoxy onto a wooden part and then go over the part with a heat gun, the epoxy briefly thins out and absorbs into the wood? It'll soak in surprisingly deep and saves getting drips. A few coats of this and the impregnated wood can be easily sanded and polished to a finish that's good enough for moulding. All the best mate and thanks for making these vids.
My mistake, this was the easiest step! My first mix of epoxy resin. I didn't order the Entropy resin, but I will in the future. The resin I ordered apparently doesn't contain UV inhibitors, so now I will need to paint it or use a spar varnish for uv protection.
Excellent!!!Thank you!
Glad you liked it!
