Clara Jansen uses resin to show the water surface in her graduation model. A plate of plywood is used as a base because it’s stiffness and surface qualities. The edges have been sealed by pieces of MDF, which are treated to enable a smooth detachment. The resin has been colored by pigment powder to create the right contrast and to fit in the color scheme of the model.
Before pouring the volume of the resin has been determined. MEK harder is added to the resin in the right percentage and the resin mixture is being mixed by hand. This is only possible if the right safety regulations are regarded, don’t try this at home! The resin is being poured carefully and the model has to rest for a weekend.
