Hi all,
I'm currently customizing my Bull micral ALPS (like DELL AT 101 ALPS series), the work is in progress,
can already show you a pic but it's not the final look it will have^^
Used glycero paint, brush painting (don't really like spray work), but I know glycero won't resist
hand palms, sweat, etc... so I'm currently adding an epoxy layer, but I want it to look tough,
the epoxy I used is glossy and takes 24h to harden, so as I remembered I used sugar on surfboards
for anti-sliding zones, I did this first on the shell bottom, it truly gives a tough aspect but I feel these
powder sugar not to be thin enough.
Does anyone has an idea of something that you can melt with liquid epoxy to get a nice "granit" style
as mate as possible ?
I have a spare IBM model M shell, and someone gave me the idea to use sand, real nice beach sand,
thin enough, to get a desert-strike look and feel, the other option is carbon fiber shell but this is much
harder to craft, mainly once the epoxy has hardened^^
