Epoxy resin in engraving

Hello I am new with the GF and was wondering if anyone has engraved on a cutting board and filed with epoxy resin? I normally use a cnc router but was wanting to start using epoxy in my laser project’s. Was wondering what is the thinnest I engrave into the wood for the epoxy and what type of sealer to use in laser engraving before adding the epoxy.
Thanks!

Hey, welcome!

There have been quite a few posts about inlaying with epoxy:

The de facto champions of the form are probably the maniacs over at @Whengeekscraft, you should check out their map projects, or especially their D&D book covers, crazy good work combining laser cutting and epoxy infills.

Have fun with your GF; I hope you post photos of what you do. Even the “mistakes” can be valuable. (You’ll see plenty of ours on this forum!)
