Software other than the Designer BASIC version 1.187 software is NON-TRANSFERABLE (this includes, but is not limited to patterns, projects, subscriptions, centerline, pattern editor, STL & DXF Importer) DO NOT INSTALL SOFTWARE FROM OLD INSTALLATION DISK. The Designer Software BASIC software should be downloaded from our website and not from an old disk. who would wznt to buy a product that is on a tether like this Last, the finished piece got a nice gloss clear coat.Īll that was left to do was hang it in the nursery.Ive never seen a company so controlling. Once the pieces were cut, there were glued and clamped together. I space the frame so it would be just above the flush level of the piece.
Then, I began making a frame for it from half inch material painted white. Now, the project is ready for the finishing touches. It actually tool much less time than I expected. I was very concerned with sanding through the veneer, so I proceeded cautiously. Once I felt the resin was sufficiently cured, I started sanding with my orbital sander. Once this is done the instructions said to let it cure for 48 hours. From the videos and articles I’ve read, this is an essential step.
Next, I used a heatgun to remove all the bubbles from the resin. Where it got tight around the toes, I had to spread it a little.
The elephant is larger so I could simply pour the resin into these spaces. Then I added pink to the white until I had the color intensity that I wanted. Since these where small areas, I had to manually spread it around to get it into all the crevices. I started with the white and filled the butterfly. Since I planned to make the butterfly white, I decided to do the entire piece with one batch. The liquid color dyes require a white be added to any color you wish to be opaque. The instructions said to let that sit for 90 minutes before applying more. I have very little surface to sand before I break through. Especially since I’m using a veneered piece. This helps prevent the colored resin from seeping into the edge grain which can be impossible to remove. I learned during my research that I should put some clear resin around the edges if you’re working with wood with any open grain. There are dozens of brands to choose from and most are very reasonable in price, so I don’t have any specific recommendations. I ordered a marine epoxy resin kit and a set of dyes from Amazon. Once the the design was completed, I cleaned it free of any remaining dust and prepared to do my resin casting.
