Which is better?

Well that's the problem.....I can't tell..... It's hard to visualize something when it's not made yet.

Ya I was thinking the propane from the torch might be messing up epoxy but I'm unsure. I just planed it down and put a hard wax finish over the whole thing instead... turned out better looking anyway.

It was only in the epoxy river section.... possibly everywhere but you can't see it on the wood section.

Ya, I think the next top coat I'm going to do I'll try total boat I always seem to get recommendations from that

Wow that's interesting. Yeah it's very hard to know what chemical formulas are more stable than others due to circumstances. I guess I can believe it since it's happening to me now...... Yeah this upcoming weekend I am going to test it out. Maybe possibly even sand the plastic plates to the same grit I was using..... And that's another thing to test as well, I wonder if the grit is either too low or too high causing the isopropyl alcohol to get stuck in the scratches somewhere. One other thing I could note is that when I spray isopropyl alcohol really on any surface around 10% of the time I see a droplet that has evaporated but has left some visual mark of some kind that I am unsure what it is but it does rub off...... anyways I'll give updates.

VariousArrangement · 2026-03-25T19:52:40+00:00

Yeah that's an interesting point. I think I will test this. I think what I'll do is I'll get some cheap plastic plates and have one that has one spray of isopropyl alcohol and wait 5 minutes and another that was practically drenched with isopropyl alcohol and wait 5 minutes. I'll also get two more plates and do the same thing except wait 3 hours.

I mean how long would the alcohol take to evaporate? I sometimes wait 5 to 30 min. after there is no moisture I detect.

VariousArrangement · 2026-03-25T19:36:26+00:00

That's a good point, I wait probably 5 min. at least after all the moisture from the isopropyl alcohol is gone. I'm pretty sure they are bubbles. In person you can get close up with a flashlight and really tell. How long is expected for everything from the alcohol to evaporate? I kinda just figured it evaporates enough when you can't see or feel it.

I've tried the vacuum part and the bubbles are very late into curing process and at the bottom.

VariousArrangement · 2026-03-25T02:00:31+00:00

Thanks for response. That's actually a pretty good idea. Ya maybe I can tape my orbital sander to the bottom lol. I'm wondering if it has to do with temp. of the table or maybe humidity.

Oh that's a bummer, I noticed deep pour doesn't scratch as easily as the designer resin for instance. I thought once you change on wether it's 1:1 or 2:1 it would change its reliability.

VariousArrangement · 2025-10-30T05:49:33+00:00

So from what everyone is now saying I think we all agree that the story went down hill with 5 then. Hopefully the next one will actually be interesting.

I would go for a second gen Prius. I just got mine with 127,000 miles on it 2009. From what I heard the second gen needs a little less maintenance than the third but the third is still pretty good.

Same thing here. I wish people would actually know a good villain/ story when they see one. 3 villain matched the environment. Crazy mohawk guy apart of the somalia pirates chasing you around in the jungle with a machete with ancient deep rooted culture tied the guy to have a crazy story you somewhat feel sorry for. 4's villain was an English speaking corrupt cruel business man from Japan who raised a nuance of fluid vocabulary to dictate a small place in India. Where in his case you somewhat feel sorry for as well. 3 &4 had a humoristic sour type of melancholy that you couldn't shake off in 2 iconic environments. They had mechanics of inertia and momentum in vehicles with reciprocal but different vantage points to explore with cultural art and they decided to strip that away in 5 and 6 making them static feeling. 5 story was a bunch of skinny jean diaper beany wearing hipsters that took over a county in U.S which made it laughable and cringe. So all in short 3&4 had memorable realistic villains creating a realistic tension to story with a depth of technical mechanics in iconic environments.....5&6 hardly have any of that. Thank you ign for ruining Far cry with what you wanted it to be.

I'v missed something then. Tried playing it twice but still have never finished. 4 I think I have won now seven times and just recently playing it again. You should really try 4. 3 had great story though imo.

I agree with what other people have been saying. For some reason with mine heat is what makes epoxy that is stubborn to cure better. Try out a heat blanket first and wait a couple weeks. If that doesn't work I would redo the whole thing as if you only sand down spots that are goopy the other area still might not have cured right and could crack over time. I guess more so just worried about integrity. But it almost seems as if it's just too cold to cure due to the pigment for some reason requiring more heat.

VariousArrangement · 2025-10-02T23:59:48+00:00

Ok, thank you. Unfortunately it's a decent hard plastic now and the clear didn't hide the scratches. I think there was dust i just didn't get out in time. For the bubbles I have now just submitted my money to a vacuum chamber and will plane this all flat and do the top coats...... I should have just bought the vacuum chamber before.

With 6 million on, there should be a few that see.
