Recycling Old DVDs and Making Texture in Resin

  • For this project, I was asked if I could create a video using CDs in resin. Most of the projects I had already seen, included cutting CDs and just adding them to the resin. I wanted to take it a step further and bring you something different and new.
    In this video, you will see how I separated the components of the disks, removed the foil and cut them up using regular scissors. They were then set into the multipurpose filler, although, you can use any kind of filler, like wall filler, tile grout and even texture paste.
    It was left to sit overnight before adding the resin.
    For this project I used:
    • Round Wooden Board: amzn.to/2VPMbs6 - US
    • DVDs/CDs: amzn.to/2W8KV2l - US | amzn.to/2SiKXDq - UK
    • Ready Mixed Multipurpose Filler - Alternative Product: amzn.to/2FBLAlW - US | amzn.to/2XI8SkC - UK
    • Liquid Glass Resin from U Resin: bit.ly/LiquidGlassResin
    • Colour Obsession Pigment Paste - Blackcurrant
    • Gold Spray Paint: amzn.to/2KeL4LY - US | amzn.to/2ROiBRy - UK
    • Le Rez Expressions Epoxy Pigment Paste - Angel White: bit.ly/lerezmatpaste

    Just made multiple attempts to separate the discs... success was achieved by inserting an exacto knife (or other very thin blade) in the middle hole between the 2 layers & it separated fairly easily, using a more sturdy short knife in a circular pattern. The foil remained, but separated from the discs when cut into pieces.
