/diy/ - Do It Yourself

>>1593882
I use polyester resin for large (500mm longest edge) prints that go into exhibitions. Works just like XTC3D but you can get 5kg of the stuff for less than the tiny xtc kit. You can do gap filling and any structural correcting first and then coat over in polyester with an air gun, and you get a smooth glossy surface straight away. I imagine you can brush it on too but never tried it. If you feel like you might have tons of sanding to do after poly coat then you can mix in a little talc filler and re-thin with acetone, sands a little easier and won't gunk up your sandpaper as much.

Let me know if you have any questions, I'm spraying up a prop in the next few days so I'll take process shots and post them here.
