ezdays 2010 EOY challenge

Don, what kind of dye did you use in the epoxy? And was it mixed into the epoxy or just put on the top?

I like the swirls, and also like the advertisement for the forum!

The dye I used was some stuff I bought a long time ago at a craft store for mixing in with casting resin. I mixed it in with the epoxy and used long setting stuff to give me time to get it mixed and leveled. I had two quarts of casting resin that I also bough a few years ago, but didn't realize that it has a finite shelf life, even in a sealed can. It turns out that there was enough material in the two-tube epoxy pak to do the job. The slow drying stuff ( 1 hour) stayed a bit tacky on the surface though, so I finished it off with a layer of fast-drying (5 min) stuff, which is probably why the swirls are as prominent as they are.

The car and loco I did for our first anniversary. Just wait though for what we have planned for this year's celebration.
