In this video, I’m diving deep into how to create incredible epoxy swirls for my heirloom backgammon board build.
This isn’t just random stirring — swirl quality depends on:
• The TYPE of epoxy you’re using
• The TYPE of pigment (mica vs liquid)
• TIMING — when to start manipulating the swirls
• Viscosity and gel stage consistency
• Natural thermal currents (especially in deep pours)
If you’ve ever had swirls disappear, muddy together, or flatten out overnight — this video explains exactly why.
This video is part of my Heirloom Backgammon Board series where I’m building a high-end board using epoxy inlays and fine hardwoods. If you’re serious about woodworking and epoxy work, this series will walk you through every detail. I am in the progress of creating this video series at this time. More videos will be released in the near future.
