Epoxy resin pedal finishing guide

[SillyOctpuss]

A few people had asked how I finish my pedal enclosures. So I said I'd do a thread when I started my next batch. I'll update this over the next few weeks as I get each one finished and do a rough demo of them all.

This won't be a definitive this is the best way to do it kind of thread. This is just the way I do it that works for me.
Tbh this thread will help keep me on track. I tend to get distracted and leave large gaps in between pedal builds.

I'll go through drilling, decals, epoxy resin, the pcbs, offboard wiring, final assembly and biasing (if it's a fuzz). If there's anything anyone wants to see just ask.

I use powder coated enclosures, self adhesive decals with epoxy resin on top.

I spent this evening getting the next batch prepped for drilling.

From top left we've got
King Of Tone

Thorpyfx - Tacit Blue
Walrus Audio - Julia
PRS - Horsemeat
Zonk Machine MK1
Tonebender MK1

I'll get them drilled tomorrow ready for decals and epoxy resin on Friday or Saturday.

I really do not like drilling enclosures. Easily the worst bit of pedal building for me. Fingers crossed my resin turns up tomorrow and I can get going with the fun stuff.

Great colors!

I'm really happy with them. I've got 2 x candy sparkle purple, 2 x metallic gold, 1 x black with orange sparkle, 1 x ufo purple and translucent copper.
