LED lights and epoxy/resin/arcrylic
« on: November 23, 2010, 05:36:32 pm »
Saw some posts on envirotex, the clear resin that hardens to a clear, glass-like finish that a lot of people put on bar srufaces and tables and such.  I was wondering if this stuff diffuses light at all.  My idea is rout out a design on my CP, then pour this stuff and have it light up with some LED's.  ANyone done this?

Sounds like a good idea.  Go for it.  For less than 8 bucks, I think its a good idea to test out.

I tried to google some LED projects using that stuff, but couldn't find any.
