IgorSky Posted February 21, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 21, 2017 (edited) In this project I have used the epoxy resin with the addition of a color pigment for the making the bases of the sea. In addition, I used white acrylic paint to simulate foam and transparent acrylic gel to simulate waves. The whole process of making the sea looks so: epoxy - a little white paint - gel - a little white paint - a little gel.
