Epoxy Glittered Guitar

In this video we cover how to work with epoxy and glitter to cover an electric guitar. We also show how to embed a design on the surface. It is not hard, but it can get messy. You might want to have some epoxy experience before trying this project.

Comments:

Control- If you find your epoxy is moving too quickly, you can turn the temperature down in your work space. Epoxy slows down when it gets colder and thins out when it gets warmer. When you need it to slow down, setting the temp around 60 can help. Just make sure to turn it up for the final cure.

Embed note- We use clear laser jet film for our embeds. You can either paint on it or run it through a laser printer. If you end up with a curl to your plastic you may not want to use it or make sure it is curling downward. What you want is a perfectly flat design or you will have trouble getting the edges not to poke up through the epoxy. If you have your heart set on using the curled item be sure to glue it down the day before and keep it flat with weights and such. Then do the epoxy work the next day or after the glue has completely set.

Glitter- It is best to work with polyester glitters and if possible solvent resistant ones. These types of glitters will give you the best results.
