Following on from the last post, I am tidying up this scrap piece of wood for some paint/epoxy design testing.
1) Glued some low grit sand paper to a file (file was awful) and used that to sand down the middle bit. Also just used sand paper without the file. Made the middle section reasonably smooth/level.
2) Cut some pieces of plastic and sanded down any sharp edges. Taped to the end of the wood gaps. When I pour in the epoxy resin, the plastic pieces will prevent it from spilling out.
3) Taped off areas prior to applying paint in the middle.
4) Did two coats of white paint in the middle bit (acrylic paint, can't use oil based paint because the epoxy gurus say not to). Did one coat of black on the middle bit sides.
5) Orange was too bright so I tried to dull it down to a pumpkin orange by mixing in some black. Fvked that up and it looked like squashed bird shit. 🤣
6) Take 2 on the orange mixing... and it looks much better.
7) Did one coat in the middle and then used a fine paint brush to blend in the edges a bit. Still need to remove some of the white paint from the top.
Next I'll do the epoxy.. thinking of going for clear epoxy with a slightly black tint. All of this is just testing, trying to get a feel for what can be done and what can go wrong.
