Egyptian Mythology Display - Spring Clean 2024
Epoxied and filler applied
Yesterday I used two part epoxy Gorilla glue to glue the printed parts on to the wood. Today I used some half-used pots of filler from the garage to cover most of the exposed wood. The intention is to just give me some subtle undulation to the surface. One pot of filler was about 15 years old so was almost like plasticine, but I managed to get it on. Whether it sets properly and adheres remains to be seen.
This photo is taken from the rear. By pure chance most of the print defects are going to be hidden on the rear of the display. The main reason for photographing from this angle is that I noticed after applying filler and going to rotate the piece, is that it is now quite heavy and there’s nowhere convenient to grip it. Probably won’t be as bad once the filler is dry, but I may have to look into securing some handles to it.
