1st Attempt
Well...... everything has a learning curve and I'm just starting mine with acrylic. My first attempt was small. After being in the pressure pot x3 days, and just like David said, the acrylic will shrink. Well about 25% shrinkage and the round vessel is now oval too. I placed another plastic insert for the middle to hollow and I can't remove it with air nor the project, cutting and turning it will be in order. I'll be working on another project in a couple days and see if I learned anything from this project. I need to try smaller items until I can get the process down just right so I'm not wasting epoxy.

@David Szelpal I did have the center piece centered and taped in place. The whole project 'shifted' in the pressure pot causing the oval shape, acrylic shrinkage, and the center piece out of center. So before placing in the post, I should have waited longer to ensure all the acrylic settled. That way there may not have been as much acrylic shrinkage?

@David Szelpal Thx David, good points that I will be aware of with my next project. I will be turning this project soon so it won't be a total waste. I just hope the one side that is a little thinner won't be too much of an issue.
Coating Resin
Dave...... I see that you store now shows you have the Coating Resin in stock. I was going to purchase some although I can't add or choose it to add to my basket. Is this item still out of stock? Thx.

I've been a woodturner for approximately 5 years and still learning. I want to expand my turning abilities and David's work inspired me.
