Clean, empty jars White plasticine Model railway people and trees White glitter Epoxy glue Water Glycerin Build up a snowy hill out of white plasticine in the centre of your jar lid so you can see your figures over the rim of the jar.
A memorable recent installation from the ever-electrifying Marc Bijl displayed a mesmerising, life-sized black Christ standing upon a stack of white painted pallets, hands outstretched, epoxy dripping like melting wax from arms, hands and face.
To cope with that, scientists have developed hard ceramic composites made from rubber and epoxy resins.
Kone embeds tubes made of carbon fibres in epoxy, and covers the result in a tough coating to resist wear and tear.According to Johannes de Jong, Kone's head of technology for large projects, the steel ropes in a 400-metre-high lift weigh about 18,650kg.
Nearby are human sculptures: a figure stands against a wall, shrouded from head to waist in what appears to be white fabric but is actually aqua resin, fibreglass and epoxy.
It will get there faster thanks to the development of a partly automated technique for pressing the material in a mould and injecting epoxy resin into it under pressure.
With the help of a guiding laser, it shoots a satellite-based tracking device, smothered in epoxy goo, onto the target vehicle, allowing the police to track the suspect without endangering the public.
A technology subsidiary of the company survives to this day and is a partner with Airbus in the A380 project.Glare is a sort of sandwich in which aluminium foils alternate with others made of glass fibre impregnated with an epoxy adhesive.
It is flexible as a raw material, but when a carbon-fibre cloth is impregnated with epoxy resin, shaped and cured, it can be as strong as steel and only half the weight.
Production of printed circuit boards may also be disrupted since Japan is responsible for supplying 90% of one of the epoxy resins used in their manufacture.Companies that depend on Japanese suppliers will try to find alternative sources in Asia.
The chips are wired together via connectors along their edges, and the whole sandwich is embedded in epoxy resin.In this section Let's get this straight Straining belief What price neutrinos?
