Umm I could cry watching this - I've been doing these signs and having so many issues with leaking and not wanting to do intricate design because the weeding this is LIFE CHANGING freaking magic
THANK YOU!!!

If you ever experience bleeding, the beauty about plastics is that you can always sand away the bleed marks, then reapply a light coat of epoxy UV resin on top and usually that will get rid of any and all scuff marks. You can then polish and wax your final piece to make it look nice and shiny.

Another trick that I use, after polishing away unwanted areas, is that I take a hot torch and in a controlled motion go over the areas that were scuffed by the polishing. This will bring out a good natural shine to resin. Always practice on scrap pieces, as it takes a bit of getting used to doing this method. The key is applying the flame of the torch at the right distance, at an even and consistent speed, and paying attention to the changes on the resin surface.

Thanks for your video, it gave me some good ideas.

Gorgeous! As a mum of 2 in the UK who has just bought a laser engraver I'm now so excited to get started! Plus it's so refreshing to see laser videos done by a woman ❤

That Gorilla Tape is the best tip! I'm going to have to try that! I hate weeding by hand!

Have you every spray painted the acrylic after you spray poly on it? Seems like it would be a lot quicker, but I’m not sure if it would bleed or not.
