My First Epoxy Pour - Mistakes Were Made!

Подробнее о видео

Just Get Started with @Woodcraft -

When a local neighbor asked for help with a Zelda-themed epoxy mantle, I figured… why not? I’m not an epoxy expert, but I do love a challenge. Watch as I refine the carving, mix up some shimmering resin, and do my best not to screw it all up. The results? Surprisingly awesome!
