Honestly one of the most satisfying parts of this our process is pouring the epoxy resin in our trays, dugouts, or dab picks. We have been working with epoxy for around 5 years now and we have learned so much about the way that epoxy works and what doesn’t work. Throughout the journey to where we are today there has been a lot of ups and downs with epoxy but let me tell you I am so glad that we stuck to it and continued to work with it and truly master the art form. For our rolling trays or dab trays that have an inlayed image we usually typically do multiple pours on it so that we make sure that no colors mix. We also use dental syringes to fill all of those small areas without making a mess. Using the syringes have taken some time to get use to and there is defiantly a technique that needs to be used when using. We don’t always use this technique sometimes we just to a big layered tie dye pour to make the trays and honestly this sometimes provided the best results. You never really know what the color patterns that are going to come out. For our dugouts they are poured a little bit differently, first we cut a piece of live edge wood around 3 inches wide and around 2 inches long into an HDPE mold. Once this is secured into the mold with hot glue, we then choose our different colors from eye candy pigments and now we are ready to pour. Using Alumilite Clear Cast slow we only have around 12 minutes to pour the resin before it starts to harden, with that being said we need to have everything ready to go before we start mixing the resin. Once the resin is all mixed and we then take all of our colors and start to slowly pour the resin into the mold alternating the colors so that we get a really nice layer effect in the resin. After we get all the molds filled up to the top, we then have to get the molds into a pressure pot so that we can remove all of the air bubbles. After 24 hours we can take the blanks out of the mold, after around 5 days is when the blanks are fully cured and ready to work with.
