bump on this

went to lowes to look for clear coat.
paint guy said my idea of using varnish or something like that wouldnt work.
he showed me some table top epoxy.
stuff they use to put money and stuff in tables at bars.
this isnt the stuff i seen but same thing and same price.
equals 60 coats of clear
when i get 20 bucks to waste i guess im going to try it.
unless someone else has other ideas.
heres the stuff

anyone have ideas on what to make the mold out of?
something that it wont stick to and will leave it smooth.

hmm,what else can i imbed

just coat the inside of a wooden mold with wax then you will have to "polish" it to make it clear with a torch

wax,how would you put wax on?isnt it hard?
i think ive seen people use vaseline on tv before??
torch to polish?that doesnt sound right.lol

Just make a wooden cube with no top on it. Before you do it just go buy some perrafin wax and melt it in an old pot and dip the pieces of wood in. Then you may have to pour some in the seams of the cube so it don't leak. When it dries your going to have to do it all over again so you can get the backside of the fish and make it look like its in the middle of the cube unless you have a different trick.
