I really would never have thought of using that pyramid like that! How cool is that! The only downside I can see is the area where the tape and acetate was is all rippled and uneven. How would you rectify that Steve? I think it came out really beautifully. Such a clever idea! God bless you and those you love Steve. Have a great day!
@shaunacorrigan93722 жыл бұрын
I've done kind of the same thing with a cube to make a planter, but I cut the strips of acetate to the length of each side and taped them on instead of putting the tape on first. I hope that made sense😅 It gave me a pretty nice, flat edge with almost no cleanup!

Also would like to ask that if you use this as a lamp, say as a night light in a kid's room, would this soften the resin or affect the colours?

It's hard to see if it affected it, but I would flip the pyramid around to the opposite side for the 2nd panel to pour, so that the pressure on the sides is even (rather than one side done and the other empty) -- then doesn't matter as much for sides 3 and 4 as two sides are already done. Would be easy to I think to add a little arch in the base for the cord.
