I started pouring more today. You can see it dries well, and it even tends to shrink and distort a little adding to the effect. This is a slightly different technique than I used before, but it seems to be working just as I had hoped.
It seems to be layering well. I still have some fine tuning to do. Again, I am hoping this all ties in together once I start priming.
Anyone wanting to try this, let me offer some helpful tips:
- Make sure your box is square and level when you build it, that will help when pouring the glue.
- When you start pouring the glue, it's nice to have compressed air on hand. You can use it to shape the pools and thin them out a little.
- Elmer's glue shrinks when it dries, keep that in mind. You may need to build up certain areas (especially around the edges of the HIC panel) with a few pours.
- Pour in several small coats, rather than one or two large ones.
It's coming together....
