DIY Epoxy Clear Coated Game Board | Alumilite

I wanted to share with you a recent project I did using the amazing

clear

gesso as a coating. I wanted to make a

game

board

that could be used on top of an Ottoman Lada. They had a lot of buttons to do, but it really wasn't like that. good play service for my kids so I want to make this

board

that fits the ottoman and can also be used on the floor over the rug to get a better playing surface after I have measured the ottoman to get the dimensions I need. I needed to cut the board to those dimensions, router the edges and then gave it a quick sandpaper to prepare the surface as in the pictures I've placed here we are going to cover most of the board support it wasn't a great Apart from the fact that I had a smooth and level surface, when I was done standing I went to the dust removal service and applied some Minwax gel stain.

You can use other stains, but I highly recommend testing it to make sure it adheres and cures on the surface before applying it to the entire project. After I applied the wood stain, I let it sit and Keir came out for two or three days, so this set is nice and dry, it soaked in really well and looks just the way I wanted it, so let's go ahead and start apply the photos to the board. We will use a product called Mod Podge that will allow us to stick the photos and seal the surface of the board. wood with a quality disposable brush, apply a light coat to the back of the photo and also apply a coat to the board, where will you apply it?

It is best to apply Mod Podge with the grain, not along the grain. of the wood once you have placed the photo on the lord, simply apply a little pressure to ensure you have a good adhesion to the board. You also want to remove any accumulated Mod Podge to throw on the edges of the photo or on top of it. the photo once you have finished placing the photographs on the board, apply a coat over the entire surface, this not only feels the photos but also seals the remaining wood on the edges as the Mod Podge dries, it will dry transparent, make sure the entire area is completely dry before moving on to the next step.

Also don't worry about brush marks that will appear once the Mod Podge dries; They will disappear nicely once the

clear

mold is applied to the surface a couple of hours before mixing. There is an incredible clear chaos and when applying it to the surface you want to heat the room as best as you can, having the room and the surface at about 75 degrees Fahrenheit, we really help the resin level well and cure properly. Having a colder room on the surface will not do it. let the resin set, it is thin so you can get a thicker layer and colder temperatures can extend the curing time.

The amazing clear mold is one to one mixing ratio by product volume, so you want to mix equal volumes of side A and side B, it also helps preheat the resin so it is around 75 degrees Fahrenheit, not only does it make it a little thinner, but it also makes it easier to mix. After combining both sides in a mixing cup, start mixing both slowly. components together, the faster you mix, the more air bubbles you will be able to build in the resin that can settle on the surface, so we recommend taking your time, you have 30 minutes of open time for this product to mix on the surface, as well Take a good three to four minutes and mix up some amazing clear cam, making sure to scrape the sides and bottom and scrape the stick a couple of times during the mixing process to make sure all the resin is completely mixed.

If you do not mix the resin completely, a sticky feeling will occur. surface or areas that are sticky Now that the resin is completely mixed, we can begin applying it to the

game

board. Hold the mixing container close to the surface and begin pouring in a circular pattern or in a back and forth pattern so that the beads of resin you are applying will begin to self-level and collide with each other for this application we are going to allow the resin flow naturally over the edges covering the edges. It is helpful to have a clean disposable brush to help the resin come out to coat the surface, this is especially true on curved edges.

After applying our initial batch, we decided that one more batch was needed to ensure we had good coverage with a nice coating thickness, so we mixed up another kit and applied it to the entire surface. It's important to have extra material on hand in case you need it as you always want to make sure you have complete coverage on the surface and don't worry if you run out and the product here is on the table without you having enough. resin to mix, you can always apply another coat to the entire surface within eight to ten hours;

Beyond ten hours, you may need to sand the surface so that the next coat adheres to the first coat a few times within the first. time you want to smear the surface with some isopropyl alcohol, this helps break the surface tension and allows any bubbles that are on or near the surface to burst as the resin hardens, it will begin to cure and thicken. You can use a ruler or stir. The stick helps scrape the bottom edge of resin that is dripping from the board. If beads cure on the bottom edge, it can be sanded smooth within a couple of days after the resin has fully cured when mixed properly and in a room that is in the 70s, this product should cure within 12 to 24 hours and be tax free at the end of 24 hours.
