Join us at Maker Cube to learn about Epoxy in our two-session epoxy workshop! Epoxy is a liquid two-part plastic, a resin and a hardener, that can be mixed to create a clear and hard surface once cured. It can be used for projects such as river tables or serving trays, or used as a high gloss coating for projects.
Avoid spending unnecessary money and time to practice through trial and error. Whether you are interested in making small pieces like epoxy coasters or want to start on your dream river table, you need to know how to pick the right epoxy for your project. In this class, you will get started with the basics and learn how to set up a form to achieve the best results!
Day 1 – Learn about resins and epoxy and how to select the right product for your project, how to prepare the wood and to make a leak-proof form. Pick your favourite pigment colour and pour the epoxy.
Day 2 – Demolding the charcuterie board, optional shaping, sanding, and finishing. For a final touch, we will use Maker Cube’s Wood Waker Deep Penetrating oil for added lustre and protection. Learn more about this finish at https://woodwaker.ca/
