Fun with Texture

I used Sci-Grip #3, same stuff I use for bonding acrylic together. I did maybe 5 or 6 floods on this to see how far it could go, literally filled it completely then let the solvent evaporate on its own before the next flood.

Here’s a photo now that it’s had good time for the solvent to flash and acrylic to setup nice and solid again. If you download it so you can get the full resolution you can really see how smooth it is.

This particular piece was a test sample for the roadster engraving. I originally engraved this a few weeks ago but the textured area in the corner I designed and lasered last night, so that was added way after the fact. It gives a good comparison between the solvent smoothed engrave and a lighter Floyd Steinberg engraving.
