Have you ever tried this on birch plywood? I am wondering if the clear will do a good enough job for it to not bleed?
I found the video great! I want to engrave a bible verse on wood and if the burnt look looks good, what happens if you just apply the finish over the letters? What is your experience with that? The finish is clear, no color
You can thin that epoxy with denatured alcohol…up to 50/50. Easier to brush on, seals well, soaks into the wood a bit, you could tip the item to drain off any excess. The denatured alcohol would make the epoxy 'flash' (cure) faster as well.
Hey good stuff and thanks for the video! I've also been making a few epoxy projects and instead of using epoxy to protect the wood, I use shellac. You might want to try if you want to save some time. Less than 10 minutes later and it's ready for your colored pour.
It turned out nice.
What laser cutter do you use?
Nice video, but we need to get you an air assist. That wood is scorched …
Have you tried white vinegar to clean the char off. Works great.

Making a 16" round table with a complex design covering the whole thing. It took 3 hours to engrave a light pattern at high speed. I'm now carving the design by hand to make it about 1/8" deep for the epoxy. In order to avoid color bleed, go over it with plain clear epoxy with a paint brush in the design and around the edges. Then let it fully cure. It will be sanded down later after the rest of the colored epoxy has cured. A tip I picked up from a video from a guy who makes $5k plus custom tables professionally. So she is definitely doing it right.
good job! claps on
what a pain… im glad i watched because i want to try this.. and now i know a whole bunch of things to not do. 🙂
Fantastic job Kendra. I never thought to use colored epoxy as a filler in a laser engraving. That opens a lot of possibilities.
Thanx for sharing Kendra. 👌👍
❤
good
Is that epoxy food safe?
Great information! I'm going to try this.I always appreciate your videos. Thanks for sharing your time and knowledge. ❤
Thanks for the video, Kendra – I may give this a try.
Wonder if sanding sealer could be used to stop the bleeding?
Wow, I cannot believe how rude some people are to you Kendra! I thought the video was great – keep up the good work!
Im going to be making something similar. Does anyone have a good suggestion for what would be "deep enough"? Thanks in advance
Hi Kendra! Good vid. Question: I’m engraving something that I want filled but also to cover the whole board. It’s a top to a stand and only using clear. Do you sand after the seal coat? I may have missed if you did, but I know you sanded after the main coat, just curious. Like yours I have some detail that I want to preserve.
Your video was super helpful, thank you! I'm new to using lasers and like to epoxy resin fill charcuterie boards so food particles don't get stuck. I had air bubbles that caused pitting in the epoxy (I did not know to seal before applying the color resin), the areas that were the worst were the thin lines – is there a guideline for line thickness to avoid this in the future, or will sealing it solve the problem entirely?
Great video, nice result… well done!
I spray a coat of laquer on my designs before the epoxy. Stops bleeding and dries in a few minutes. Also sanding sealer works too.
Hi Kendra! What type Laser machine do you use?
Whayt
Every increase of 10 deg F halves your cure time. I put my parts in a cardboard box with a 100w lamp and it cures really quickly.
If you use shellac as you base including inside you designs and let it cure you will not get bleeding on you color fill epoxy
Hello, great video and very useful. How deep are you going?
