Re: [Origami] What did Mark Kennedy use to protect the models for his pins?
Matthew Green asked for the product used by Mark Kennedy to coat his folds in order to turn them into pins and magnets. Hi Matt. He used polyester resin. One of the brands he used was Envirotex-lite. Might you have issues of The Paper from the 90's? Mark published a couple of articles explaining his process in detail back then. Cheers.

I’m pretty sure it’s just a resin. Epoxy or polyester would work. Take care with material handling, gloves, masks and ventilation, as most resins have toxicity. The specific brand of resin, I’m not sure, but having done some resin work myself, most work the same, they soak into the paper and make it hard, and are robust. Best, Matthew
