Lithopane carving
Posted: Mon Feb 16, 2015 10:08 pm
I've just finished my first attempt at a creating a lithopane using 0.33" glacier white Corian. I set the maximum cutting depth to 0.28" and the image is not quite bright enough even with a powerful bulb placed directly behind.
Can anyone suggest what thickness of Corian should be left for the best results and the brightest whites? I left 0.05" (0.33 - 0.28) and think it needs to be thinner. I'm using a 1/32" ball nose bit.
