eastman03 Posted September 13, 2018 Report Share Posted September 13, 2018 So I had some extra epoxy(ecopoxy) and I wanted to try something with it. I made a rectangle mound and put a piece of cedar in with it and filled the other half up with the epoxy and some glitter. So far it turned out looking pretty cool. Has anyone tried anything like this? I put the block in water and the epoxy is heavier. So whatever I make the wood will be the top. Was just not sure what to make quite yet, or if anyone has dabbled with this? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sonoman Posted September 13, 2018 Report Share Posted September 13, 2018 Reminds me of the guys the do custom pen blanks, they turn them down for some wild looking ink pens. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vodkaman Posted September 13, 2018 Report Share Posted September 13, 2018 (edited) There is a lure in that block just waiting to be set free. The even ballasting throughout the length has to be a favourable asset. Maybe a small jointed swim-bait or a glider. Of course, working the material is not going to be easy.

eastman03 Posted September 14, 2018 Author Report Share Posted September 14, 2018 I'll let you know how it goes. I sawed it in half the long way to make a longer blank. Looks like it will end up being some sort of jointed swimbait. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark poulson Posted September 14, 2018 Report Share Posted September 14, 2018 How buoyant is it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eastman03 Posted September 14, 2018 Author Report Share Posted September 14, 2018 It still floats, but just barely. I'll see what it does when I add hooks and wire. I've never attempted to make anything neutrally buoyant, but this might be the project to try it on. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vodkaman Posted September 14, 2018 Report Share Posted September 14, 2018 You will be able to tune the buoyancy by adjusting the %depth of the epoxy to wood. It would even be possible to calculate the percentage on paper, to at least give yourself a reasonable starting point. Dave 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
