Still sounds nerve-wracking to me :) Just for completeness, what brand/type of epoxy do you use? I expect some epoxies will be better than others as far as viscosity and bubbles go. I'm assuming a 2-part epoxy. Maybe a single component (heat cured) epoxy would work too, without destroying the hologram? Or maybe nowadays there are good UV activated resins less expensive than Norland...

while it is a big pain in it a** to apply, the benefits in the end are well worth it! this is the stuff im currently using

the speed of the cure is regulated by the amount of catalyst used. i never liked the UV curing stuff, due how thick (like syrup) and the toxic odor........

Dave do you use this stuff on DCG as well? Can it be used to sandwich two pieces of glass or used with glass to plastic.

I had to show some friends this video, they were very impressed. Beautiful work again Dave!
