Do you know if there are any resins not for wood but for plexiglass?

Hi Brad, I love your work...very inspirational!! Keep the videos coming! Quick question, if you are flood coating new epoxy what grit sandpaper do you use to prep the cured epoxy? Thanks!
@bradscustomsigns85858 күн бұрын
no sandpaper, just a very fine steel wool. I just want to take off the shine and give the next layer something to grab, so really only requires a buffing. It also gets into any raised/lowered areas of your design without aggressive scuffing on the edges that sandpaper can do.

Hi! Thank you for your detailed Video, the sign looks absolut amazing. My only question is about the finish Step with clear epoxy. How do you Coat the sides/edges and prevent the epoxy from dripping down? The surface on top is easy, but what about the sides!! Thank you so much
@bradscustomsigns858518 күн бұрын
@@ralfplewa2472 I actually just flood it from the middle and let gravity do the work. I use a rubber glove to make sure I get everything squeezed into all the nooks and crannies and all the tough spots and let it flow over the edge. I also have a video that shows what I do to accommodate the drips after it is cured

Another superb job-really enjoy the videos! Most of my pours are 12oz cups or less, and I cringe at the thought of using a plastic pail for the rare larger project. Would you be willing to reveal your source for those large disposable “cups”?…They look just perfect for the occasional larger job. Thanks, and keep the videos coming-they’re very inspirational.

Thanks, I appreciate the compliment. All of my disposable cups and squeeze bottles come right from Amazon. I find it best to research every time because when I have gone back to do a repeat purchase, and the prices have changed on me, so you have to watch for that

@bradscustomsigns85852 ай бұрын
I use Oramask for my stencils, and I think a big part of this process is to make sure it's 100% cured (not just dry). I tend to work on multiple projects at the same time, so after one piece is painted, it may sit there for a number of days before I get back to it while I work on something else, so it's definitely cured before the stencil goes on
