This chair was made using a casting process involving granulated cork and epoxy. I would like to replicate this process with my three experiments. First I will make a mold of plywood. Pour the epoxy mixture into the mold and clamp it down. After removing the molded cork I will cut it to test its strength and flexibility. My final experiment will be to determine various surface finishes including wet/dry sanding and polishing.
Materials:
Granulated cork
Epoxy
Clamps
Drill
Screws
Plywood
Sand paper
Stirring stick
Wax
Don't get too far ahead of yourself. Its important for you complete your experiments as independent investigations from you final project. I would like to see multiple experiments using cork as a material. One of those experiences can involve epoxy resin but you should also look at other ways people work with your material.
