This turning into a very long build, mainly due to drying of the pva sealing coats. I certainly don't want a leak when doing the resin pour.






Going to have some of the water plants coming through the resin, with a darker section first, then slightly lighter , then clear .




Thanks for staying , won't be long now. ( famous last words )

This is looking good John.

Thanks Paul. Just done a test for leaks, filled the whole area with water and no leaks.
Next is the pour after the base has fully dried.

Greetings, a start has been made with the pour.

Decided to do a very shallow one first with colour, going to leave it to fully dry before continuing.
The next pour will have very little colour in, the only requirement is a light sanding of the surface where I can get to.
Of course this will need a thorougher clean before the next layer.

Now covered up to dry.

John, looking good my friend.

Thanks Paul, just the wait now while hopefully it hardens. Bucket over to keep any dust off .

[JR]

Well the good news is the resin is starting to harden.
Just found some ferns that need some paint , so that will be the days job, plus some gardening.

Good afternoon, just after lunch I did the 2nd pour. This time a different paint was used to tint and less of it.
Pleased with the outcome.

This had definitely given a sense of depth, the second pour being a lighter tint has shown up the stones and dead leaves on the base.



This was taken just before a flame was passed over the resin.



Thanks for looking in comments welcome. The next pour will be late Wednesday.

John.
