Today's experiment involved mixing granulated cork with epoxy in a mold. An identicle technique was used to make this stool. First, I diced sheets of cork to mimic granulated cork. Found two plastic cereal containers. Mixed epoxy (two seringes worth) with the cork in one container. Then, pressed the second cereal container down into the first with seran wrap in between them. The result was a hard cork block with virtually no flexibility. During this experiment I learned expoxy produces a lot of heat during the curing process. This "exothermic reaction" can burn through plastic if enough epoxy is added.
