Your work is amazing and so inspiring in my dreams!!! Not sure why you haven’t reached 1,000 subs yet. I definitely want to try but feel like it will be a fail project
Hey Brad, I found you from the C3D forums and had to immediately subscribe to your channel! Amazing work on all of your signs! Quick question, on a couple others that you did, after your last clear epoxy pour, you placed some type of board on top. What’s that board material and I assume it’s to help the epoxy cure without getting any dust or debris from the shop?
Thank you, I use a lot of Rustoleum spray, and in some cases, Home Depot has color codes for many pro sports teams that they will mix. For most projects, I get them to mix one of the 8oz samplers that is usually enough for a project
Thank you. I will sometimes seal the cut edges with watered-down wood glue, but in most cases, I just do an extra layer or 2 if the paint until I'm satisfied with the color
I believe I used around 600 ml, but I tend to waste a bit because I never want to risk running short. If you check my other videos, I have one that shows my process for drip cleanup.
Great video as always. I am learning alot. Do you get your MDF form a box store? I get mine from HD. The 1/2" seems better quality and more dense than the 3/4". Curious where you get yours.
Thanks. The place I shop is called Windsor Plywood, and when it's available, I get the 3/4" in Platinum Grade (in the US look for HDF), it's much more dense than standard. Notice the darker color in the MDF in the base of this piece, that is not the higher grade, so extra layers of color were needed on this project to achieve the opaque color required.
I have been very happy with the Shapeoko brand (I have the 3XXL), and there has been 3 model upgrades since I got mine. I cut 3/4" MDF on a regular basis, and the thickest I've cut through is 3" Cedar
@@rickycurry574 I use Roo Glue, it has a fast setup time, and oozes into the nooks and crannies (and out if you're too heavy). And yes, I cut a .015" pocket for the letters, but this is les about a puzzle fit and more about alignment. At this depth there is lees of an issue with those tight inside/outside corners from the round endmills
What did you use to glue the pieces? I just finished a sign but I used 1/2in MDF and I'm worried that is too heavy and it might fall off with just titebond 3. Thanks!
when I do layers like this, I use a product called Roo Glue. It's a Melamine glue that sets up quickly. If you find me on Facebook, and send me some pictures of your project, I'd be happy to give you an opinion on what I might do
@@SothpawDesigns I covered the piece with Oramask so that when I rounded over the edge on my router table, it was a perfect edge for painting, as well as protecting the face
