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.
