Embedding an RAF Coin in Epoxy Resin

[@jedrek29t]

Polishing at the highest level. Realy good 👍

[@BensWorx]

Thanks Mate

[@mialagunas8499]

Definitely glad you took out most of the music in your new videos. Your new videos are more pleasing and lovely to watch😊
Lovely piece!

[@ALWhiteAuthor]

Talking about the struggle with all the sanding and it finally being worth it. That's pretty much what's written there at the bottom of the coin. "Per ardua ad astra" means "Through adversity to the stars."

[@BensWorx]

Oh Nice 👍 i never knew that, Thanks for sharing

[@squili]

excited for the sequel to this video where you embed an RAF fighter in epoxy resin!

[@lorrieruff4402]

Wow awesome, I personally would have left the wood unpainted but that's just me. 👍 🇬🇧

[@BensWorx]

Thanks Mate 👍

[@vcythandle1912]

thats what i thought too

[@sandramccormick8326]

Totally agree with you, a great idea, but it would have made the coin stand out a lot more without the blue paint, it also takes away the beauty of the burl.

[@tristan-ftt2085]

I disagree, i like the blue paint more, it is a subtle blue enough to stand out but not enough to upstage

[@nz540im3]

That was an awesome piece of music in this clip at the start.

[@lorimitchell9025]

Amazing project. I look forward to your videos

[@David-if2hj]

I recommend buying 3M sandpaper, you don't need to use spray adhesive because the backing is a heat activated adhesive to make sanding sticks or to stick it to a surface, very handy

[@BensWorx]

Thanks for the tip David

[@BrianMiller-ci5bp]

This is awesome I some of them coins from when I was I the US navy would be cool have them in one block.

[@markekstrum3645]

It awesome, but yeah I would have wanted the wood natural

[@phillipchristy7792]

Good job on the design. I finally got my Maple burl I won off of eBay, but now I have ran out of resin. Go figure. Looking forward to seeing your next project.

Love your work Mr Ben! Only criticism would be choice of colour for the burl piece. I'd have left it natural. But lovely piece none the less!

[@vyronvirus]

This one is awesome too but design can be different instead of cube shape

[@kandiecandelaria3134]

If you are laying the coins flat and they have writing on each side and client wants to be able to read them would you first coat them with epoxy then sandwich in the epoxy?

[@richardgroom988]

Hi, I just started watching you channel and I think it amazing. My moms birthday is coming up and I got a ticket from a football game from her childhood that is meaningful to her and I wanted to case the ticket and put it in clear resin and epoxy. Do you think I will still see the writing? Also if I want to make it a lamp and put lights on the bottom shine through, do you think it will work? Her birthday is June 12 by the way.

What is that block of stuff that you clean the epoxy out of your sandpaper with?

[@telstraoranamall7680]

Fantastic

What was that block thing you used on the sander to clean it off?

[@BensWorx]

It a rubber cleaner

[@user-ov7su1lg3h]

That really turned out nicely! Well done. Does anyone know if I can/should/should not do that with American Silver Eagle Coins? I want to put a tube of them in one display-mold. 1/8th-1/4 inch apart... Maybe... Probably too many...at 20 coins... Also... Can you break the coin out of the resin, if you decide one day to sell it as a coin? I'm BRAND NEW to this world. I'm not even a novice yet!
Thank you! Mark... Encino...

Hey Ben, that UV torch, is it a special kind or will any UV torch work to quick cure? Also does the resin need to be a special resin in order to react with the lamp?

Thanks Mate

[@christieflorence9840]

Out of curiosity, why did you choose to use resin and pigment to paint the burl in this project? Is it because the drying time is faster using the UV resin than paint would be? better texture? Or no specific reason?
Looks so great! Love the new ideas you come up time!

[@BensWorx]

Thanks Christie, yeah faster drying time and i find it helps seal the wood too

Sorry if I sound dumb but ine every of this tutorial I see people getting the resin out of the mold do you do something special or not? ( My point is the resin never sticks when you do a mold?) sorry I'm just started to watch videos about resin and dont really understand
