The Study of the Experimental Sculpture Work Using the Mixture of Resin and Sawdust

Abstract

This research article aimed at 1) studying the properties of general rubber sawdust in sculpture, 2) studying the ratio of properties and hardness of resins mixed with rubber
sawdust, and 3) studying and designing the sculpture with resin mixed with rubber sawdust. This study used the following research methods. For Step 1, the researchers examined the formula and mixed in the ratio of 3 materials: Metd1, Metd2 and Metd3 (wood sawdust, paraben: resin: violet agent: hardening agent). For Step 2, the researchers tested the properties, durability and physical aesthetics of the materials. For Step 3, the researchers designed the sculpture with resin mixed with rubber sawdust. The research results revealed that the rubber sawdust had a physical beauty and the surface was transparent depending on the mentioned ratio. The ratio for mixing the materials were Metd1, Metd2, and Metd3 which were 125/250, 250/250, and 375/250 respectively. The strength value for Metd1 was 99.9, that for Metd2 was 99.7, and that for Metd3 was 99.6. Regarding the development of the creative sculpture works, it was found that it could be developed to be a low-relief sculpture, a floating scripture, and mixed creative structure.
