Two weeks ago my wife noticed in Woodcraft Magazine, the new travel mug inserts.
She had to have one, and "commissioned" me to make another for our oldest daughter who is moving this weekend to Savannah, Ga. So whats posted here will be a little gift for her.
Last Friday I picked up the part (insert) and yesterday started working on it. The biggest challenge was the finish. I wanted something that would hold up to coffee spills, hand washing, etc. and could only come up with an epoxy finish. Unfortunately, those cure very, very slowly and "run" as they cure. My approach was to brush it on, other than pour it, and to make sure the brush coat was thin.
It worked, No runs, no sags.
