Iâm curious about the application, as well if it is a steady pour, or through a syringe/eye dropper. Really cool, have you tried using any draftboard? My idea is that you could paint the DB any color and add resin, but my concern is that the DB may be too porous.

I have done some stuff with resin which was the first time working with it. I certainly had some trial and error incidents. Very finicky if you donât get the mix just right but once you got it down, itâs produces excellent results.
Great job!

How did you get the bubbles out?

You can usually pass a torch quickly over the top and it allows the bubbles to rise and pop.

Would a heat lamp do it?
I have done some similar stuff myself, but i sanded mine down smooth afterwards. I like the way yours looks âbeadedâ up. I used a syringe to fill mine with resin.

The quick hit of localized heat works better for this.
A heat lamp might be too broad of a heat source and not warm the resin fast enough so it can flow and release air before it gels, and traps the air instead. Plus the broader heat can impact/warp/deform the base material depending what it is.

Could you add detail to the resin by making a second pass with the glowforge after the resin dries?

Welcome to the forum.
A quick search regarding laser cutting/engraving of resin results in an answer of âit dependsâ. Some resins have formaldehyde which shouldnât be lasered. Best to always know material composition before hitting anything with the laser.

Hmm, read through the thread but still donât understand the process!
Do you mean you engrave the whole shape on the proofgrade with the sticky paper? And that successfully burns away the paper for the inside engraved shape? Then you put the resin in and pull off the outside portion of remaining paper?
Or do you mean you just engrave around the edge, then pull off paper, then pour resin, then pull off outer edge paper when you have jam like consistency?
Wonderful work.
When I have tried resin I find that the resin gets pulled into the adjacent wood pores, resulting in permanent staining no matter what I try. Any tips? Masking didnât help, as the resin went underneath via capillary, I think.
