So Norm, I want to fill the obvious voids in this burl
Attachment 209234I plan on using craft paper to glue all the way around the burl forming a "mold". Whatever I use I want to add color before the pour. What would you use.
Dick are you planning on turning the burl into a vessel after "molding" it? The rest of this post assumes that that is the game plan. If it were me I would rough turn it first before molding and then build a mold around the rough shape. That would save a significant amount of resin regardless of the resin type. Check out Dave Bell's "Bowl Casting 101" for a how to.
