    If you masked it you could have painted it then pulled the masking off. Also wouldn't get the burn marks

    does the resin harden thin when your making the ocean scene? I fear if I tried that it would end up lopsided at the end

    Love This. I do something similar. Where you are wiping away the paint I wrap my wet paper towel in a cricut scraper (As that is what I have - any type of squeegee would work) and use as a squeegee and find I get a nice clean scrape without wiping away the paint from the design.

    Very nice work. As an artist, I see the turtles as too dark, silhouetted on the shallow surface. Could simply be attributed to bad lighting in the room. Perhaps clear filler for the turtles or a gradation of color used on the turtles - from light to dark - would look more convincing to the shallows. Either way, what a process this took. Great job!

    Is everything you're using on the surface of this cutting board food grade, or just the top coat?

  • @1elephantmemories
    @1elephantmemories2 ай бұрын

    The top of the cutting board has a clear coat of a tabletop epoxy that is FDA approved for food contact. We leave the back blank so people can use the back to cut on and serve on the front.

    It is not as bad as you think. After color filling the white, where you see the black is actually higher than the white, so it is easy to lightly touch that raised area. I have moderate arthritis and don't have a problem. Sometimes I will even have to use a magnifying glass, but is really easier than you think.

  • @1elephantmemories
    @1elephantmemories3 ай бұрын

    I used Bullseye Spray Shellac for this video. You can also brush on. If you are in a country that does not have shellac, you can still usually find natural shellac flakes and make your own. It is a lot cheaper and has less additives. Good luck.

    Thanks a lot for this video. Can I use something different than schellak? Can’t buy that in NL. I’m looking for a substitute to seal my wood before the epoxy inlay.

  • @1elephantmemories
    @1elephantmemories3 ай бұрын

    Have you tried looking for all natural shellac flakes? If you can get those, you can actually make your own shellac with just the flakes and denatured alcohol. I did a quick search and supposedly, you can get shellac flakes there. Have you heard of Bunnings New Zealand? Try there. If you can find it, then search for videos on how to make your own. If not, you can experiment with polyurethane. Just remember, if this is for food contact, you should seal everything with a food safe epoxy.

    What if the wood is stained? I just painted some engraved signs but there’s paint all over the piece. Can I sand it without messing up the stain?

  • @1elephantmemories
    @1elephantmemories3 ай бұрын

    Sanding can mess up the stain. I would suggest engraving, then sealing with a waterproof sealer first like a urethane. You can still use shellac, just do multiple coats and let it cure (up to 7 days). Then you should be able to just wipe off instead of sanding. Alway experiment on some scrap wood first though. Good luck.
