Not super crazy about how the first coat turned out. I was trying not to exceed the 1/8″ depth, and maybe I babied it, but that is some serious shrinkage. Might have turned out better with a different base color, but I rather doubt it. The end result turned out closer to the brush-on application, and not thick enough to disguise the plaster texture. Not thrilling.
I used most of the clear included with the kit on the first pour and the only small bottles on Amazon were blue tinted, which turned out in my favor. I probably over corrected and went too deep this time, but what’s poured is poured. I shimmed up the ass end a bit to even out the cure. Worst case, I can shave an inch off the front, but I would have to be in the mood to spend most of a day sanding. I can’t conceive of a world in which that sounds appealing.
I really hope cardboard removal doesn’t turn into a shit show. I do not have an awesome feeling. Screw the ogre hut, up next is the skull cave with protagonist eating trees.
