Good morning, recently installed a penny floor using Glasscast 3 and couldn’t be happier with the result. Came up with idea of putting map in the entry floor with some postcards and pouring Glasscast 3 over it. Have a few concerns/ questions- there are going to be areas of the underlayment (3/8” AC plywood) that will not be covered by the map/ postcards. My thought was to simply paint entire area either white or black with latex paint to seal wood and then lay down map & postcards. Is it ok to use latex paint for this or should I use something else. Should I glue down the map & cards prior to pouring to eliminate shift or even product getting under items and if so what should I use for adhesive? Thank you in advance for your time, Mike.

I would use either black epoxy or polyurethane coating, like it is available for skinning purposes. Latex paint isn't solvent free, wich can end up in bubbles or milky resin.
For the same reason I would use 5 min epoxy to glue them down.
I would check if the postcards are resistant to the epoxy. I had cloths and prints that completely changed colour after epoxy exposure.


Sorry, still working through this- would acrylic paint be a better choice? Thank you again.
