Epoxy Resin a Tree Stump! - video 1of3

About a year ago, my mom and me stole a tree stump from a pile in front of a church. It was my moms idea. This video is about covering the stolen goods in a thick clear coat of Epoxy Resin so that it can last forever! www.ArtResin.com

How do you keep air bubbles from forming in the resin? Some ppl use a blowtorch, but i havnt seen that technique used with wood.

[davezak]

@exotikk1 i'd use a blow torch too! ill post the second video soon and use a blow torch. the blow torch is the best practice i added to make my resin jobs flawless. you stay far away enough from the surface that the flame does not effect the surface. BLOW TORCH!!!!!

[exotikk1]

@davezak Thanks! Blow torchs are an essential craft item! Here's another question- Do you make orangey-coloured resin to to resemble tree sap? I might want to embed freeze-dried ferns and things in domed resin to replicate natural amber.

@exotikk1 on the artresin website we have translucent dyes... one of the colours is AMBER... exactly what you want! mix this dye in when you mix part A and B! cool idea :)

I need to resin a drum. Will i have to keep spinning the drum so there wont be any drips?

[davezak]

@Sparkydrums no spinning, do MANY thin coats...

david you are so sexy....

@chey5000 no i haven't finished yet. It became too cold here. I'll get at it soon the weather is clearing up. the tree stumped soaked up so much resin. was a big waste.

Was there ever a part 2 or 3 to this video? Would love to see the finished project
