The easiest way would be to use our Fast-Cast Polyurethane Casting Resin and one of our Polyurethane Colour Pigment

You can mix in the white pigment to get the colour you want.  The advantage is it is quick curing and is fine when sanded with wood.

Hi,

I looking for some advice on what would be the best type of resin for a project I'm planning.

The project requires a front panel which I plan to cut from either a solid wood or ply-board using a laser cutter. Then using a technique that I saw during the manufacture of police badges, I'd like to fill the lettering indentations, cut from the laser, with a white coloured resin using a syringe. Once cured I will sand the panel flat and give the wood a dark coloured stain. This will hopeful give me a professional looking front panel with the white lettering set out against the dark grain of the wood.

As a resin novice my question is which type of resin and pigment would be best for this application?

Thanks,

Noblea
