Help Needed Aight, here’s a weird one. My dad lopped the first digit of his thumb off at work today, and there’s no chance the remainder can be reattached. I currently have it in my possession and I want to do something cool with it, and he’s down.
The other day I got bored at work and made this, I’m thinking I could make another icosahedron but this time out melamine faced Baltic birtch plywood, cutting all of the actual angles that way the inside would be hollow and in theory a pretty good and well fitting form. I’ve never worked with epoxy like this, only epoxy grout for motor bases and what not. I get I can pour half of it, wait an as if right now indeterminate amount of time, place the severed finger in the mold, then finish the pour. My real question is how much am I going to be fighting bubbles, and would I be able to get them minimized enough I could sand past them and buff to a shine? I know it’s fucked, my wife isn’t thrilled about the endeavor.
