I had a family crest 3D printed in resin and need someone to embed the object in Lucite. They tell me if I have the crest painted that it won’t work because the heat from the embedding process will damage the paint. But I know I’ve seen painted objects embedded in Lucite (or some kind of Acrylic). What kind of paint can I use?

Hi Paul,
If you’ve got a test piece, try that first with these steps:
1. Paint and let fully dry. As for the paint, I only have experience using acrylics.
2. Embed in a slow-curing resin. This is the one I use: https://shop.resinobsession.com/collections/resin/resin-obsession-deep-pour-resinIf the paint chips off, then seal with this before testing another piece: https://shop.resinobsession.com/products/envirotex-high-gloss-resin-sealer-spray-clear-spray-for-resin-finishing
