Fake TIG welding with UV Resin

[Legend642]

I should like to share how to create a fake weld with a realistic look.
I used UV resin to simulate what happens during Tig welding, where the filler material melts and settles drop by drop.

Deposit a resin drop and quickly expose to ultraviolet light to catalyze, then deposit the next drop covering part of the previous.
With a bit practice you will get an excellent result.

I recommend using transparent resin since the colored resin tend to catalyze only on surface.



An example of fake welding.
I covered the fake weld with Alclad II polished aluminum.

Excellent trick for sure Most have used silicone caulking, or hot glue gun to achieve similar looks.

Gonna try this for my Freddy glove as it doesn’t seem to take solder well

What brand of UV resin did you use?

I used Reschimica resin but you can use any clear uv resin for jewelry and modeling.
I haven't tested it, I think it you can use UV glue.
