Thank you very much!

Thank you! Cheers!

That is a common method. However, I hate having to remove the masking tape. Especially all the tiny pieces which are easily missed. It really comes down to preference.

Thanks for watching!

It is self leveling. Since I let it flow over the edges, it is pretty thin unless you do many layers. If you are really worried about it, you can do a layer or two of clear. Tape the edges off and have the tape just a little above the highest surface. Pour your clear and it will level. Remove the tape, sand the edges then do a final thin layer allowing the clear to run the edges. Now you have a very flat surface. Good luck.

Thank you so much!

Thanks for the visit

Yes. It is an acrylic craft paint.

I mixed a black pigment powder and acrylic ink. I am glad you liked it!

Thank you. Hope it helps.

Thank you!

You bet!

Thank you! 😊

You're welcome!

Hope it helps!

Working with resin has brought a whole new level to my laser crafts! Now experimenting with sculpting with polymer clay + resin + laser! Just keeps getting more fun!

Sure would. I am not a glitter girl myself but the possibilities are endless.

Glad it was helpful!

You are most welcome and appreciated!

I am so sorry. I went back to look at my description and found that I forgot to put the coupon code in. I apologize. If you would like to email me at [email protected], maybe I can do something to make up for it. Once again, I am very sorry for my mistake.

Thank you. It is so much fun to find ways to use items that we already have!

1/4" downcut spiral bit

That's a great idea!

Thanks for the tips!

I am not quite sure what you are asking.

Thank you.

The top of the cutting board has a clear coat of a tabletop epoxy that is FDA approved for food contact. We leave the back blank so people can use the back to cut on and serve on the front.

It is not as bad as you think. After color filling the white, where you see the black is actually higher than the white, so it is easy to lightly touch that raised area. I have moderate arthritis and don't have a problem. Sometimes I will even have to use a magnifying glass, but is really easier than you think.

I have an Epilog laser. You could use a CNC or even hand carve with a chisel or an electric hand carver.

Thank you!

Thank you kindly

Glad you like them!

That looks like a form. The embedded level is pretty cool.

In this video, I use a Ahonui Artisans No Seal HDPE Reuseable Epoxy Resin Form 4.25" x 17". I like to cut the coasters. However, I also have a super thick and durable silicone coaster mold from Crafted Elements. Hope that helps.

The Gecko is very cute!

I used Bullseye Spray Shellac for this video. You can also brush on. If you are in a country that does not have shellac, you can still usually find natural shellac flakes and make your own. It is a lot cheaper and has less additives. Good luck.

I used a laser but you could use a cnc or even hand carve. Pretty simple design.

Have fun!

Thank you!

So Glad you liked it. I've been too busy to make more, but can't wait to do another one.

Have you tried looking for all natural shellac flakes? If you can get those, you can actually make your own shellac with just the flakes and denatured alcohol. I did a quick search and supposedly, you can get shellac flakes there. Have you heard of Bunnings New Zealand? Try there. If you can find it, then search for videos on how to make your own. If not, you can experiment with polyurethane. Just remember, if this is for food contact, you should seal everything with a food safe epoxy.

Sanding can mess up the stain. I would suggest engraving, then sealing with a waterproof sealer first like a urethane. You can still use shellac, just do multiple coats and let it cure (up to 7 days). Then you should be able to just wipe off instead of sanding. Alway experiment on some scrap wood first though. Good luck.
