The sign came out so awesome! Now I'm craving noodles!

[@cathymyers7831]

Beautiful sign. I would be afraid someone would steal it. When I was a teen there was a country store that had a beautiful sign. It got stolen and returned numerous times. Wish the owners good luck with their new business.

Goodness that turned out great! Thanks for sharing....

Great job 🙌🌹✌️

[@littlecncshop]

Use red acrylic ink. That will give you that fire engine red....you should also be using a sealer before pouring the resin. This will keep it from leeching into the wood.

[@richardbaynes3862]

I second the sealer prior to epoxy

I ate at snack noodle a couple months ago, was amazing, try the shu mai.

[@robertprice9052]

I wonder if you could use powder coating powder to color the epoxy? What do you think?

[@MakersWorkshopLLC]

It would definitely be worth a test-pour first but I bet that it would work. Resin is so versatile in terms of what can be used to color it

[@michaelreed6868]

What color is the red pigment that you used? Everything I have gotten is more of a maroon color.

[@jacewheeler1145]

It’s been sometime since you’ve hung the sign, how did the varnish hold up to the sunlight and weather?

[@MakersWorkshopLLC]

I like this question a lot; so far so good. Down the road if it every did need a re-vamp because it is a solid wood with the infill all it would take was a sand, and re-coat. think I might post an updated photo over on our instagram later this week to show how it is lasting because its hanging right up the street from us.

@@MakersWorkshopLLC Michael, what did you seal it with? many resin don't do well with UV light exposure and need special coating to protect them. Can you update how well the sign has held up against the weather? Also what is the depth you carve to on the CNC for resin pour. Thanks Gaz

@@MakersWorkshopLLC Wow. That's a nice chunk of change. Only thing that sucks is I dont have current u insurance to hang signage. I dont really want to hang signs and install them but wonder if their is a market for making them only
