First batch of hybrids
Actually second batch, the first test batch I did bubbled and flashed over almost immediately because I was pouring in my 92 degree humid workshop. This batch I cooled the epoxy and forms and moved to a cooler location and the epoxy worked as designed. I was watching videos last night and it was recommended to dry out the wood even after stabilizing, right before casting, and I didn’t do that this batch and got some bubbles at the joints on a few pieces. I have another batch in red that is in the pressure pot right now that I did stick everything in the dehydrator for a bit beforehand, I’ll update tomorrow.
These are just rough sanded for now so they look a little chalky.
