I Carved a Horse Head out of 11 gallons of epoxy resin and a mixed species of wood. This is one of my favorite carvings to date and took over 5 weeks to completion. Follow along and watch as I sculpt and carve this giant block of epoxy resin and wood into the horse. I used a variety of power tools and woodworking tools in order to accomplish this.

The 4x4 was a space filler to cut down on the amount of epoxy needed. I would have thought it was there to keep everything upright and prevent shifting but you built that box really well

Incredible sculpture Blake! I am always amazed at how early into the sculpt you seem to have a visual of where the final product is located. One note though, you may not want to pour epoxy in your home, especially with a small kid in the house. One of the primary reactants in curing epoxy resin is the plastic Bisphenol-A (BPA). This is a plastic that aerosolizes in epoxy fumes and builds up in your body over time. Because BPA dissolves into fat cells, it accumulates in your body over the course of your life and does not get excreted, and can have some pretty nasty cumulative health impacts, ranging from infertility and PCOS to potentially even breast cancer. While one epoxy pour isn't going to kill anyone, its best to pour in a ventilated space or with a respirator. While BPA itself is scent-free, a good indicator of air quality is smell: if you can smell it in the room, it is probably best not to spend too much time there. Because of this, I personally would not cure large blocks of epoxy in my home, although this is not to say that you must not as well! Everyone of course can make their own decisions on personal safety, and this comment is simply meant to provide background in order to make an educated decision. If anyone is interested in reading further into this, there is a great 2015 paper called "Health Risk of Exposure to Bisphenol A (BPA)" by Konieczna et. al. where I got most of my information on BPA. Just a note that you will find a lot of conflicting information about BPA out there, and some epoxies claiming to be BPA free. Investigate that deeply, as I have seen at least one manufacturer claiming to be BPA free because all the BPA (the primary ingredient in one of the two parts) is "fully reacted" in the curing reaction, meaning that the final product does not contain any. This ignores volatilization during the curing reaction, during which inhalation exposure is a risk.

@BMSculptures 2 жыл бұрын

Thank you for the detailed information. I did not know this to be honest. I Luckily I just got a large refrigerator chest outside in the shop where I plan to do most of my future pours.

@mitchellkleckner5203 2 жыл бұрын

@@BMSculptures Thanks for the reply and glad to hear that! I would definitely do your own research as well over just trusting what some random guy on the internet says -- sadly this information is not well discussed outside of research papers, and I know those can be difficult to understand without a background in environmental engineering/occupational health. This sadly also is not the most researched of chemicals, so I could not find any papers specifically talking about inhalation of epoxy fumes for a hobbyist/small-scale professional, but from what I understand, after cured, the health risk from epoxy lowers significantly, but the curing process releases BPA in medically significant doses for professionals who work with epoxy paints and similar products. It is in a whole load of "foodsafe" products as well though, like take-out containers and the linings of aluminum cans, so it is not really possible to cut out all exposure. Some industries (including consumer grade epoxy resin manufacturers) have begun transitioning away from BPA as bad press starts to leak, but it looks like the replacements, called BPF and BPS are essentially the same thing and equally unsafe but entirely unregulated and unresearched. Best practice is most likely to try to limit exposure to curing epoxy, and to do so either outside, in an area with good ventilation (i. e., a shop with exterior-facing vents and fans), or in a space with a ventilation system not connected to where people are living (a shop in a separate building to where people often sleep and eat)
