#39 How To Make Ocean Waves On This Beach Cutting Board With Epoxy Resin!

foreign [Music] T is a charcuterie board and I took this board and I sanded down just the portion where I'm going to be pouring the resin now I'm not going to be doing it normal I am obviously going to do it like my name says with glitter so in addition to sanding to prep it you're going to want to tape the back of the board so when the resin does drip it won't leave big drip marks on the wood on the other side and you're going to want to have it raised up off of your table so this is up on little cups for this first resin layer I'm going to use Quick coat epoxy only because I want it to dry quickly and I'm going to be putting these two different color blues and this gold color for the sand on the beach and I'm going to want it to dry quick and I don't want the the glitter to move around too much not that it will but I just want to take any chances I mixed up 20 ml of resin and I'm just going to put it on with my finger all around the area where I sanded and you can make any design that you want for your waves eventually we're going to do the waves tomorrow and you want to make sure if you want the edges done I'll make sure you get resin on them I'm going to be coating mine with a resin and also glitter as I fade it from one color to the next so let's get some glitter on this board [Music] foreign [Music] foreign [Music] [Applause] [Music] thank you [Music] learn from my mistakes make sure you put a piece of paper or parchment paper or anything underneath the board when you're sprinkling the glitter I completely forgot until it was too late so yes definitely it was a big cleanup so I'm just gonna take the dark blue and fade him into each other from the dark to the light to the gold and I'm going to sprinkle each into um one another just as they kind of fade if you know what I mean I guess you'll see it and then after that once I saw it sitting there I did add some iridescent green greenish blue flakes on top just to mimic some of the glitter that you see in an ocean on it in the sunshine so here I am putting the glitter on and then I'm going to let this dry until tomorrow and then we'll put the waves on [Music] [Music] thank you [Music] foreign [Music] [Applause] [Music] foreign [Music] [Music] foreign [Music] thank you [Music] [Music] thank you [Music] okay great everything is done it's um all cured we're ready to add the clear coat and the waves so I'm just I mixed up about four ounces of resin I'm just going to take a tiny tiny bit to to make some white for the waves I'm using Satori white by eye candy it's okay for waves I really I'm not using the right white but it'll do that's all I have for today so we're going to go ahead and try to make this work but there are other ones out there and I'm going to be getting a different one to make more cells in my white I'm just going to set um this white aside and we're going to spread the remaining resin all over the glitter area and try to keep it on the top I mean it will drip over I do want the sides done too so just kind of babysit it and if too much drips off what you can do is just scoop it off of your Silicone mat or hopefully you're on a silicone mat and just put it on top back on top as long as it's still clear then we're going to go ahead and let this sit like this for about 20 minutes before we make any waves on here [Music] thank you [Music] thank you foreign [Applause] [Music] [Music] foreign [Music] to add the waves I have the wrong spoon so don't use this little tiny spoon get like a little plastic spoon that you can hold a little more resin because I did struggle getting this on so you're just gonna go and this is 20 minutes later so I've been letting the clear sit on this board for 20 minutes before I do this I'm trying to get it thickened up enough so it doesn't all blow off the board when I bring the heat gun to it so just get your white border along the edge of this and then we'll get the heat gun and we'll try to make some waves foreign [Music] [Music] foreign [Applause] [Music] foreign [Music] I do want to mention that did when I did use the heat gun it did blow some of the resin off the edge and it did leave some dry spots so what I did for the next 30 minutes is I just watched it and I took that little spoon that I had I cleaned it off and I I scooped up the extra resin off of the silicone and I put it back into the bald spots and I kept doing that until the resin gelled up enough that it wasn't still dripping over the side so you'll will have to babysit a board like this okay it's the next day it's all cured everything looks good and I'm going to take this exacto knife because I want to get the backing off where we you know put the tape so we wouldn't drip onto the wood so I'm just going to take my knife and I'm going to score very carefully you don't want to cut yourself all on the edge of the board so where that tape meets The Edge is where I'm scoring this and then the tape peels right off pretty well and then we're going to go ahead and sand the back of this scrape off any other parts that are sticking up kind of that will cut your hand and you don't want to sand forever so just take your knife and scrape them off and then we're going to sand it down nice and smooth and get some oil on the back [Music] foreign [Music] foreign [Music] [Applause] [Music] foreign [Music] [Music] foreign
