    Finally had some time to work on it again.  This is first coat with a little gold and silver glitter mixed in.

    If you don't mind me asking, how do you do your epoxy ramps? Very clean work.

    Most of the time I just do multiple coats with the same batch.  As the epoxy starts to thicken, I will go back and add another coat just in the ramp areas.

     

    Sometimes, like the ones above, I use a rubber winding check that is one size smaller than I should and stretch it.  This flattens out the winding check and gets the ramp started.
