For this order, our customer asked for a black/brown and grey micarta, but many times when you use this process to make it, you end up with darker or changed colors due to the different resing impregnation on the used clothings/materials.
For this reason is that in this case I replaced the grey clothings for another element, that turned out grey on the final piece.
This new element is no other than common rolled white kitchen paper, that due to the resin impregnation -as just explained- turned out grey.
Had I used grey clothings, it would ended up really darker, and there wouldn't be any real contrast between the different layers of colors.
Now with the pictures
Pieces of cloth already cutted and piles, ready for the resin. for this particular project I've used 60 pieces in total.
Placing the resin on each group of clothings/paper. (For quantity, just think of placing honey on a toast or something like that)
Placing two wooden boards protected with plastic bags to avoid the mix getting glued to them, I get them on a manual press.
I use "just" 5 tons for this.
Once I remove it from the press and boards.
Cutting a piece of the dried up mix to test patterns.
Thanks for looking!
