    Good work i should have counted how many cents i used it didnt occur to me i decided to put a couple layers of cents in some spots to help create texture but it makes the epoxy extra thick and trublesome. Lol

    I thought about doing layers in some spots as well to give it a 3D effect and also fill in gaps but I realized it wouldn't work. It would be difficult to make a smooth epoxy surface on an uneven layer. It would also increase the cost due to more epoxy.

    I did up to 3 layers of coins in some spots and got an even surface you just have to do the epoxy in sessions do a thin layer wait 2 days do another wait 2 days then do the final pour worked for me

    I planned to do a wheat cent floor in my bathroom and have sorted through tens of thousands of cents so far, but need a couple thousand more to get it done. My issue is that I want clean coins without verdigris or black spots, so it’s taking forever. Here’s my piles and what I plan to do when I have enough. 0445649B-9786-438A-890E-8B86E95E254F.jpeg 65F716E7-38C2-4AF9-BA45-FC0357BBDADA.jpeg 9AC78D5F-5088-49F9-89D6-295673CCE3AF.jpeg
