the yucky part.

normally when you pour this shit into your work you want to dam off an area ahead of time, then pour and let it settle and sit there. i got lazy and thought i'd try something different: i'd pour the stuff and then babysit it as the bubbles floated out of it, angling it so it flowed from from one side to the other.
i rocked it back and forth for an hour as it thickened and set up. i'd hit it with the torch to pop the bubbles and introduce a little heat. i was very careful not to let the tide of resin trap bubbles under itself as it flowed over voids. i tried to ensure that it slowly oozed in.
since there were two main areas of voids to be filled that required opposing angles for them to fill to the brim, i elected to just coat the bottoms of both with the dark epoxy in this way, then come in after with a clear pour to bring the voids up to their brims.
it looks a little bit like tim curry's character from fern gully to me. and is about as ecofriendly.
i mixed up a little over 150 grams of the stuff. it'll need a little more, but the structural and chromatic pour (as i'm calling this one) was a success.
