Xyla Foxlin Makes an Epoxy Stained Glass Spirit of Columbus

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

​We invited Xyla Foxlin to Narwhal Labs to use our makerspace to make a project! Xyla is an Ohio based Aviatrix, and chose to make an epoxy inlaid stained glass panel of the "Spirit of Columbus". The Spirit of Columbus is a Cessna 180 piloted by Geraldine Fredritz Mock - the first woman to circumnavigate the world during a series of solo flights over the course of 29 days in 1964. The Spirit of Columbus can now be found on display at the Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center in Chantilly, VA.

    Great project, with attention to detail. Should you do another one like this, you can get solvent-proof polypropylene pipettes from lab supply companies. These could possibly make the filling of the fine spots easier than pouring. They allow dispensing of fine volumes much more smoothly than syringes as well.

Xyla wore gloves through the project, and safety glasses are particularly important when doing large pours with very low viscosity epoxies where splashing is a risk. Safety is your own responsibility and we trust you'll make the safety decisions that are right for you.

I have been doing some resin design on new windows that will be installed when I'm finished. The resin side will be on the inside. I'd like to protect it from yellowing. Does it make sense to use the Halcyon on the glass side that will actually be on the outside and the part that the sun hits first?

Or will it absolutely block the UV rays and prevent them from penetrating the unprotected resin? I'm thinking reflection and heat could still cause yellowing if both sides aren't covered, but I am not a UV ray expert...just wondering. 😋

    Do you have to use epoxy to seal the wood or can you just use wood sealer? Wood sealer in a spray can would be much faster. I would also stain the wood before sealing it to give it the look of the lead solder typically used in stained glass.

    Wood sealer or spray varnish Dona great job sealing the wood grain itself, but air can still escape and leave behind bubbles in your final epoxy pours. Sealing with epoxy resin is a sure fire way to completely seal it.
