Chemical reactions are super cool! In class we have been making plastic using an Epoxy Resin. Epoxy is created when Resin is mixed with a hardener. The two substances cause heat production. The heat changes the epoxy from a liquid to a solid. As the epoxy was curing, it went through a very viscous stage. At this point, we were able to explore colours and designs. The plastic was used to fill holes for some special charcuterie boards we have been working on.
