a couple boosters

[cjkbug]

here's a thunderpuss and a slambox both in 1590a's the thunderpuss is finished with clear transparency covered with epoxy. it's the glossiest most durable finish I've ever done. the slambox was a little rushed but came out pretty good anyway, finished with gold enamel-waterslide-clear.

Beautiful!

Awesome job as usual!

I think I'm going to try that pour on epoxy pretty soon.  I bought some at Home Depot and it's sitting in the closet.  Is it hard to use?  I know it has to be level for the top, but how do you get even coverage on the sides?

Those look really good!

just don't drill your holes till after it's hardened. use standoffs so you don't glue it to your table, and sand the hardened drips off. measure and mix properly or it will remain tacky.

Great job! I was thinking about using a card theme for a series of builds - yours looks particularly good. Nice stuff.

Nice stuff!  One of these days I might try the epoxy coat.  I'm just not a big fan of drilling after the clear coat.

one more thing...paint the back of your transparency the same color as your enclosure to avoid getting visible air bubbles under it. put it down on a thin layer of epoxy that you spread out with a tongue depressor

thanks!

Is there a trick to getting the epoxy even on the sides or does gravity take care of it?  Or do you just not put any on the sides?

[gtr2]

sorry for the thread derail...

but are waterslide decals not compatible with the epoxy?

[cjkbug]

no they are but transparencies are cheaper, more durable, don't require clearcoat, repositionable, available at any office supply store in large quantities. they also make good Insulating material, drill templates and sometimes the right ones can be used to make etched pcb's.

Your artwork is allways awesome cjkbug

They both look really good. Do you use a spray on enamel?
