> One of the best master classes, in which I learned to work with epoxy resin, belongs to Mary Glukhova. Further, the text and pictures of her authorship: 1. Take the wire soft enough, but not too thin. I of 1.5 mm with an aluminum coating. Turn off the ring. Obviously desirable to use some form of a flat. 2. Cutting pliers cut the long end of the wire. Keep in mind that this one tip (here it would be right) is sharp, and the second - perpendicular to the wire, that is what we want. 3. Likewise, clipped the tail very very close (and even better with scanty margin) to the first slice. 4. Connect the ends of the ring. The tighter they will adhere to each other - the better. 5. And now our ring pasted on a tape, it is desirable koy first mounted on a flat surface (I keramoplitka or glass) sticky side up. 6. Since epoxy is better to breed at least 10 ml, then blanks should be several, unless of course you do not want to throw away excess epoxy divorced. It is important to check the tightness of the ringlet to the surface. 7. Next I fill the frame artistic rubbish - inlays. Actually recommend first fill the bottom layer, and then pour the garbage, but as the time from batch to pour epoxy bounded, then I do in a different order. 8. So blank decomposed leak tested, can be cultivated. 9. I use Ice Resin (unscented, liquid, and provides almost no bubbles - last Pts important). Measure out the same amount of resin and hardener. It is important to measure the exact amount of liquids. The epoxy - an insidious thing: a little more hardener and it will start the "goats" (ie drag tool for such horns) too quickly; a little less - and you'll have to wait until the lens will freeze forever. :) 10. Kneaded. Initially, the resin becomes cloudy, it appears the opalescent divorce - this is normal. Continue stirring for another minute and a half ... 11. Until the mixture becomes clear. Large bubbles get out themselves, gradually smaller too. However, in the product, they will need help "hatch." From start kneading and before the "getting up" epoksidki us around 30-40 minutes. 12. Fill linzochki. I use rubber stack for oil (it will be more in the frame), they also expel bubbles. Initial fill, as seen in the photo, does not cover the "garbage" completely. This is normal. At this stage, we just have to create a "bottom" and lock pattern. You can even pour less - under the lower right corner, I overdid it. :) For everything we have half an hour: fill, or expel a needle stack bubbles, make sure that the lenses are filled with more or less evenly. Now exhale for 8-10 hours and hide our plates with fills the far freed from dust and cover shelf a cover, leaving between itself and a shelf for a small air gap. 14. The epoxy does not contain solvents, so no shrinkage during solidification. In addition, it is viscous, so if it pour "heaped" podtechet it to the edge and stop there. But here it is important not to overdo it. 15. More 8-10 hours otkrovyrivaem our linzochki from tape. At this stage they look strashnenko. Now we take the solvent and washing residues skotchevogo glue. Suitable alcohol, petrol, white-spirit, acetone or nail varnish for remuver. 16. Fill the inside out the third layer and dry another 8-10 hours. Voila. :) You can drill, enchase, braid wire, and anything else that your heart desires. Author of this wonderful master class Glukhova Mary, source of epoxy resin can now be bought in almost any local store products for art and in many online stores. Species many carefully read the instructions before first use and follow it to her, making amendments to other workshops. From myself I want to add and emphasize epoxy resin - a toxic substance to work with her to be careful, observing precautions (do not allow children, animals , people with a tendency to allergic reactions), chemical respirator, in a ventilated room, gloves and glasses. epoxy - wonderful material with huge potential for the realization of a wide variety of ideas. In working with these flowers is important vysuschit plant well before pouring, otherwise it will rot. Thanks for your attention! Be creative everywhere and always, do not be afraid to make a mistake, because it is in the works, we are all free!)
