Used a heat gun to remove any air bubbles from the resin. There were quite a lot of bubbles because I mixed the resin too fast. 4) Covered it to stop dust falling on top while leaving enough room for airflow. I fvcked up because I came back to check in on it after an hour and the resin started leaking out of the sides. 🤦♂️ Had some mess to clean up and put the spilled epoxy back into the gap and clamped down the plastic bits so there definitely will not be any more leakage. ✅ Before doing any of this you need the temperature to be around 22-23 degree Celsius otherwise the resin won't cure properly. So I got some electronics to keep the work room at a steady temperature while the resin cures. Also, it's very humid today so I'm also using a dehumidifier to decrease the humidity in the work room to help the curing process. Will check back on it after a few days after it's fully cured. #DIY #Bitcoin #Mining #BTC #Wood #Woodworking #Hardwood #Paint #Art #Artwork #Epoxy #Design
