Second glaze coat took well!
I believe doing this with shrink plastic like this might be a novel medium, for which I humbly propose the name Schmryptography.

The glaze hardened correctly that time!

And reglazed! Included the prototype for comparison here; I’m pretty happy with the progress between them!

@lofiQtip Sadly, a lot of those pubs no longer exist, or have been turned into chains as well.

@schmrypto When i was a good pub darts player i sometimes fantasized about doing a darts pub tour in UK. Never did and no longer throw darts. Such is life.

There’s a tiny village in Yorkshire in the north of England called Stamford Bridge, where I visited and stayed with my uncle’s family many summers growing up.
The local pub has always had some variation on this sign, which depicts Norse King Harald Hardrada, who slew countless Englishmen on the eponymous bridge before they shut it down by sneaking below and stabbing him in the groin repeatedly through a little hole in the platform.
Anyways, good luck to both sides today!

@lofiQtip It’s all the creatively named Old Brewery around there.

@schmrypto The density of this matter should be discussed more thoroughly.

Shrinky Dink is a misnomer as they actual maintain exactly the same volume throughout the process, getting thicker as they ‘shrink’
A more accurate name would be Dimensional-Exchangy Dinks.

It really is, even at small scale so I can only imagine.
Do you have to do something to maintain negative pressure while you work or how do you not just get a ton of particulate over a large area? Or does it just being five feet from people’s eyeballs give you a little leeway there?

@schmrypto It's about 20-40 mil this was a metalic epoxy then urethane on top of that. I squeegee it down the bankroll. Sometimes ill use a blower or isopropyl for effect
Id rather just do the chip or quartz tho.. this smooth finish is a nightmare as you know
English
Glaze coat looked pretty good but failed to harden; I worked in a warm room, so I likely botched the epoxy ratio.
It’s already been scraped and sanded to remove the coat, easily the hardest step in the whole process so far lol
Video shows it before scraping.

And glazed! 2 or 3 glaze coats should do it. Very happy with the results, despite a few process issues along the way.

Growing up with a hint of a Yorkshire accent was funny because other Texans thought it was posh but Londoners thought I was some sort of double hillbilly.

@jsheps As far as presentation goes, like much of my sculptural work it falls into the artistically risky ‘paper-weight’ category lol, but maybe a little stand to elevate it?

@CryptoShoeLaces Most of the bubbles I’m getting at this point are in the sheets themselves; I don’t think shrinky dinks are made to a fine art standard unfortunately lol
English
Interesting! I didn’t realize humidity was such an issue; what’s the target for a thin coat of epoxy to set up hard?
As far as finish and bubbles go, the pours are tiny so I’m just warming my parts first to liquify a little, then slow stirring and hunting down the strays in the pour. I should probably dig out my torch for the final layers but this was all pretty spur of the moment.

@CryptoShoeLaces I cannot even imagine trying to work with this shit at that scale, makes me crazy trying to glaze a deck of cards lol. Such an addictive medium though, really nothing like it.

@schmrypto I own a epoxy flooring company.. when it comes to epoxy and urathanes its a different set of rules for sure
