Hi Brad, I love your work...very inspirational!! Keep the videos coming! Quick question, if you are flood coating new epoxy what grit sandpaper do you use to prep the cured epoxy? Thanks!
no sandpaper, just a very fine steel wool. I just want to take off the shine and give the next layer something to grab, so really only requires a buffing. It also gets into any raised/lowered areas of your design without aggressive scuffing on the edges that sandpaper can do.
Hi! Thank you for your detailed Video, the sign looks absolut amazing. My only question is about the finish Step with clear epoxy. How do you Coat the sides/edges and prevent the epoxy from dripping down? The surface on top is easy, but what about the sides!! Thank you so much
@@ralfplewa2472 I actually just flood it from the middle and let gravity do the work. I use a rubber glove to make sure I get everything squeezed into all the nooks and crannies and all the tough spots and let it flow over the edge. I also have a video that shows what I do to accommodate the drips after it is cured
I currently use Magic Resin tabletop, Rust oleum spray paint, and Ecopoxy liquid pigments for most projects. And on this project, I also used the paint as the pigment for the orange
Another superb job-really enjoy the videos! Most of my pours are 12oz cups or less, and I cringe at the thought of using a plastic pail for the rare larger project. Would you be willing to reveal your source for those large disposable “cups”?…They look just perfect for the occasional larger job. Thanks, and keep the videos coming-they’re very inspirational.
Thanks, I appreciate the compliment. All of my disposable cups and squeeze bottles come right from Amazon. I find it best to research every time because when I have gone back to do a repeat purchase, and the prices have changed on me, so you have to watch for that
@@airheads24 a little bit of both. I have a router table, as well as using pointed round over bits in the CNC, and then of course there's the good old sandpaper
Very cool! How do you keep the vinyl from pulling paint up when you pull it at the end? In this video, how do you keep the vinyl that is protecting the white from pulling up the white when it comes off?
I use Oramask for my stencils, and I think a big part of this process is to make sure it's 100% cured (not just dry). I tend to work on multiple projects at the same time, so after one piece is painted, it may sit there for a number of days before I get back to it while I work on something else, so it's definitely cured before the stencil goes on
That's awesome love it. It looks like 1/2 inch MDF pocketed the logo and white epoxy then surface the back for lights to show thro then I think u did a offset of the boarder and got that thickness... Awesome work brother keep it up.....
@michaellongoria647. He surface it just to the beginning of the white epoxy so the lights will show thro the epoxy u gotta watch carefully cause he is fast and dam good at making signs. He has mastered it....
Hello, Can you tell me what kind of pigment do you use and in what proportions? All of my suppliers are telling me that the covering pigment will not let light through...
My intent is to keep most of them short enough for people not to get bored. I try to include various details in 1 video, and then other details in the next.
@@bradscustomsigns8585 possibly shorts so people don't get bored, then maybe longer in depth ones for the ones who want to watch. Although obviously this would involve more filmong/editing for you though.
