Arteza: Nice work man…

This is my next project… pending epoxy finishing..

Still hesitating tu put the epoxy… afraid it would ruin my work and had to do it all over again… huhuhuh… i think my prob is the type of epoxy as uncle says… i use the 1 layer finishing… not the 2 layer thin finishing… type…

thanks sham.. follow uncle instruction man everything would be fine.. nice thread wrap( jealous woo) better done it in a clean environment. you doesn’t want dust spin threw your epoxy. I am also thinking to build one more for ponds.. is there any blank much cheaper than xzoga?
