Great job Chris! On your next epoxy project, you can put some Tyvek tape ( or something similar where epoxy won't stick to it) on the back edge and you should be able to peel it right off when it hardens!
Would this pull up the layers on the sides as well? I am about to do a flood coat and have been wondering this 😅 would love to avoid the chiseling step at the end
Hey buddy. I finally finished two projects using this method. Learned a lot from my mistakes. What I’d tell people is don’t be afraid to dig deep for the colors. Gives you more depth to work with should you need to do extra sanding, etc., or re-do a part. :) So awesome!!!
Sweet project dude. Thanks for sharing your process. I will be trying this with my own logo soon. Looks like I had guessed the general steps pretty accurately but you dropped a bunch of extra nuggets here that can only come with experience. Thank you!
That's great! I haven't seen anyone else seal it with shellac. I'm going to have to try that (I don't have patience to seal with clear epoxy)... I REALLY liked your tip on setting the Z zero to the waste board, at the end. Never thought of that. That's going to save my waste-boards from now on!
Man, that is freaking awesome! Really cool insight to your process. I’m building a cnc plasma table and I love seeing applications using cnc on other mediums. Played with epoxy a bit in the past, I’m going to have to build a router mill now haha
Cool video! How would you suggest making an epoxy sign without a Cnc? How did you keep shop dust from getting in the white base while it was curing in your shop on the Cnc table?
Amazing work. Always wanted to have a go with epoxy but haven't yet. The big question I have is - what is that tool you used to chamfer the back of the sign?
Awesome video. This is some next-level stuff, and you make it look so easy. I've got some projects I've been working through, and this gives me a whole new tool set to approach it with.
Chris, Great Job! Thanks for taking time to video the process and share the knowledge. I'm new to the CNC world, this definitely inspires me to try some CNC with epoxy inlay work. Question - why did you use the white paint vs epoxy white powder or dye for the base coat?
What tool did you use to cut the chamfer? You used a small ryobi for the roundover so I'm wondering what the difference was and what the other tool was. Thanks.
A flush cut router bit takes care of those drips like a champ.
Thanks for taking the time to make the video!
Thank you 🙏
This guy has a soothing voice and winning personality.

So awesome!!!
Looks great I been thinking about trying a epoxy sign thanks for sharing.
.
You can pour liquid latex in the bottom of the mdf to put off easily the drips of epoxy
Nice video. That's a Top Tip about using a collar on your bits when you change them.
I love the way you zeroed the final bit with the backing from a PwnCNC sticker!! That's very resourceful!!
Haha that’s my go to for zeroing. It’s like the perfect shape and thickness.
This video was invaluable on my last project.
Awesome
A tip to help with the back is to put painters tape on it to peel the drips right off.
Great work!
Beautiful work and great explanation of your process.
Thats so cool. It would be cool to have some retro signs done in epoxy.
Thanks. I definitely want to do more to get the garage looking right.
Very cool Chris I like the multi layer approach
Thank you
I plan on doing some epoxy work soon, this gave me more motivation
Awesome!
What an awesome job I really appreciate the detail you gave in making this. Helps us noobs out a lot!! lol
Haha glad it helped

Great job Chris
Thanks Vernon
mate from the uk. Thats a crazy good sign !!
I bet this same method would work great for some carbon fiber molds!
or roto mold something and then throw it on a 4th axis...
thanks for sharing.

Awesome. Glad you found some good tips in there. Thanks for watching!
Great video. Using a Sawstop for an epoxy prep work bench makes me nervous. LOL
Man, that is freaking awesome! Really cool insight to your process. I’m building a cnc plasma table and I love seeing applications using cnc on other mediums. Played with epoxy a bit in the past, I’m going to have to build a router mill now haha

What a beautiful sign Chris. You really know your stuff. Thanks for all the info.

Nice work. Where’s the pigments come from?
Looks great, but where's the link for the video on the collars. Maybe I'm missing something. Thx
Looks cool! Nice job

I love your videos, always informative. Thank you for the detailed information on the process.
Very cool!
Thanks
Awesome job man. Love the tips and knowledge.
Thanks Justin
Nice work. Beautiful sign. Did you have any warpage or cupping you had to deal with?
Thanks. No problems like that. MDF is pretty stable so it doesn’t warp like wood might when carving, and this epoxy shouldn’t shrink.
Awesome job!
Wow! That came out awesome! :)
Thank you!
Wow, that video was way cool
Cheers 🍻
Thank you
