Proposal For New Thread Branch
Hi Everyone~
I've been researching E/G for a number of years. Research papers, expired patents, published articles, and of course, this thread.
My test samples are getting better and the Aggregate:Epoxy ratio is getting closer to the ideal (93%:7%) each time.
This thread has grown quite large and contains a tremendous amount of theoretical and practical information on how to make E/G. But actual instances of diy E/G still only make up a small percentage of the overall number of posts.
I'm not complaining nor am I being critical.
I would like to propose to everyone here -- including the most active members and posters -- that an additional thread be created for E/G called "Practical Epoxy-Granite Usage" which contains posts from members who have actually cast something using E/G.
It could be something as simple as casting in a plastic bowl to something as complex as that made by ITW, Epucret, and others. I envision postings that include pictures of attempts, discussions of problems in the process, tricks with moldmaking, actual experiences with materials, vendors used, etc. The more pictures and videos the better. All mask and gloves type stuff.
Please let me know what you think.
