I work with a CNC softwoods and epoxy. After I CNC the wood, I spray with a clear coat and then pour upto 1/4 of Magic Resin after mixing upto 128 oz in paint buckets with plastic inserts. First mixing on slow speed in one bucket and then pouring intow the second and mixing again - slowly counting to 100 each time ensuring that I mix against the walls of the buckets. the mix will turn clear at a certain point
