DIY bear sculpture from epoxy resin and wood

For the final glue-up, use epoxy.

Make a melamine mold with silicone on the inside and outside.

Then, place the layout of your sculpture inside the mold for the deep-pour process.

Use Mas Deeppour X. Pour this into layers inside your mold for the first pour.

Use a 44 bag to displace more epoxy on the front side.

Remove your mold, as well as the 44 bag.

Outline the design on the outside and use a chainsaw to carve it out.

Cut little chunks at a time to avoid cutting too deeply.

Then, thin out and refine the sculptures shape.

After that, sand the sculpture from 60 grids up to 1000 grids.

Once you get up to 400 grid, start wet sanding until you reach 1000 grid.

Once the sanding is complete, put on the finish.

Coat the entire surface and buff it out.
