Watch a video on how to make plastic for knives
To make plastic, we need:
- epoxy resin;
- sparkles (can be bought in bottles or bags);
- a small piece of cardboard from which we will make a box;
- adhesive tape;
- building mesh;
First of all, we start from a piece of cardboard to make a box. We will need a box for a piece of plastic. You can make it any size.
Before gluing the edges of the box, it is necessary to glue the entire inner side with tape.
After the inner side is sealed with tape, we need to collect all the edges and glue. You can glue it with the same scotch tape or glue gun, to whom it will be more convenient.
Then we plant epoxy, squeeze out as much as we need to fill our box. It is necessary to breed it in a separate bowl, so that it is homogeneous and completely mixed.
Depending on what color and texture you want, you pour half or a little more than half into the resin box and sprinkle the sparkle there.
If the plastic is hard, reinforced, then we use a special building mesh. We lay it on the surface of the resin when sparkles and color paint have already been added to it. Then again we fill with resin and again we put a grid. Our design will resemble a reinforced sandwich.
Now a little about packaging. If you pour it into a mold that is not pasted with adhesive tape, then when the resin hardens, you simply will not take it away from the plastic. When the box is pasted with tape, everything will be easy for you to leave.
Such whetstones are perfectly processed. Also, these cubes are budget material.
