Hey fellow crafters, Most resin inlay guides show you how to pour colored epoxy into a routed channel and call it done. That works. It also looks like colored epoxy in a routed channel.

This is where most people get stuck. YouTube videos show the glamorous pour, but they skip the unglamorous truth: processing your epoxy casting […]
