Popular Post Nickel Falls Posted December 19, 2021 Popular Post Report Share Posted December 19, 2021 Got this Botas pattern cut out, and decided to play with resin epoxy on it. I like the way it worked out. What's your thoughts? Wichman, Dan, FrankEV and 11 others 14 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John B Posted December 19, 2021 Report Share Posted December 19, 2021 You did Heldas proud with his pattern, a great job. I have often wondered about filling cut outs with coloured resin as I imagine items would look quite stunning hung in a window with the sun shining through. Love it.

I used contact paper on the back side to hold the resin in place til it set up. Worked perfect.....no seepage at all. John B 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dak0ta52 Posted December 19, 2021 Report Share Posted December 19, 2021 I think it turned out great. I've often thought of filling cuts with epoxy but haven't tried it yet. Glad to know it will work. Nickel Falls 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RabidAlien Posted December 19, 2021 Report Share Posted December 19, 2021 I've been wanting to try resin on some of my patterns. Need to just take the leap and give it a try. I'm guessing, on yours, that the contact paper is still on the back? The pattern and resin look great, but I'm imagining it with a light source (window, LED strip, etc) behind it and how stunning it would be lit up.

Once it sets up about 30 hours, I took the contact paper off it. It retracted light nicely, however, I put it on a backer board.
