TRANSPARENT TREE

For this project a sculpture for the Tree was carved by Scenic artists in soft foam. Beyond Design then applied a fiberglass resin with a fine reinforcement. On top of this we applied a sandable polyester gel coat.

Cleaning the LeStat Tree
At this point mold release was applied and we began to laminate a fire rated, transparent epoxy resin with “surf board” cloth to create a transparent composite about 3/32” thick. This was de-molded to create a structural, extremely lightweight shell. This tree was created with the same process as the Head.
