First time epoxy user. I’m just going to do some simple carves into a set of corn hole boards , fill them with clear epoxy , and then stain the corn hole boards, which won’t stick to the clear epoxy I’ve read?), followed up with a few coats of poly.
I won’t be doing a lot of epoxy jobs , so I don’t need a huge kit.
Michaels craft store here sells alumalite clear cast epoxy resin kit. 16oz for $30.
Some bad reviews though. Any input on a little epoxy kit suggestion ?
Thanks.
I only use Upstart epoxy products. They are a little pricey, but I feel it is worth it for the quality.
i 100% agree with @DaveManning well worth the money
We’ll. We will see.
1/16 depth.
Gonna clear epoxy, use a little hand blow torch to get any bubble if I see, and let dry overnight.
Going to sand all with 120grit paper and then stain overtop with hopes it won’t dry on the clear.
Sounds good I guess.
Any updates on the end result?
Disaster. Lol
I have done countless corn hole boards using my x-carve and epoxy…turned out great…
So is everything carved, painted and totally covered in epoxy? Like a tabletop?
That looks amazing. Glad you had really good luck with yours………?!
I think I carved too deep……1/8” cut depth….I used cheap epoxy from craft a craft store….and my boards weren’t very level.
The epoxy overflowed a lot onto the board where I did not want it to go. I could not sand it off at all, turned it to warmed up shredded rubber.
Also what did look good within the carve had a crazy amount of bubbles. I tried using a torch and got a little bit out but not near enough to even get that little section to look good.
I didn’t even take pictures….I then lit them on fire in backyard. LOL
Should have used Stone Cote epoxy. The best on the market.
Hello Brandon, im a student wanting to do something like this for a project. I really like your board, could you possibly send me the plans to the project.
I’ve had great results from Famowood Glaze Coat Clear Gloss oil-Based epoxy. You can get it at Lowe’s or Home Depot.
