Please, any comments, criticism, suggestions…
All greatly received!
Oh, I’m doing a burgundy tint on the bottom, this may be a stupid question, but here goes, Will the white on the paper for my laminates show up or will the resin wet it out?
Cheers.
do the burgundy tint on one layer of glass. let it cure. then glass your lams on with another layer of clear.
