This sign is going to Little Current, on Manitoulin Island. For today's geography lesson .... Manitoulin is the world's largest island in a body of fresh water ( Lake Huron). It's a beautiful place .........

Very, Very nice! I especially love the north for its birch trees, clear water and eagles. Is the PB resin you refer to a 100% solids polyester type resin? nice the way it domes like epoxy. Cool idea to use the 3D rounded edges as a base for gilding. I would have been concerned that the resin would find a way to leak and run off the edge. How'd you do that? I do know that if you "paint" it up to a line, then pour more, it will not creep past the line unless you pour too much. I have done that with epoxy and waited til the epoxy started to get thick, then it pours with a higher "dome".

John,PB resin is formulated just for this, & I do it just like you say .... do an edge line first. The only problem spots are inside corners sharper than 90*. I know how to stop it but wasn't paying attention to what I was doing & 2 of the 3 inside corners leaked ( I call them "runny crotches"). I hammer out cheap Q-tips on the anvil to get in there & clean them out.
