I made this after seeing one in the creative cnc forum my gear is smaller 23" in diameter we have an antique machinery show I go to so it will be interesting to bring it along. Its standard 2" insulation foam
Ended up making two, the first I put some minwax stain on which I have done in the past without issue but I put it outside and forgot about it, minwax stain and sun react with foam as I found out, though it kind of looks like it was buried for a hundred years, so a second was made I used a torch very lightly to make the edges pitted and worn.
On the second gear I used Flood waterbased deck and siding preservative mixed with powdered concrete pigment ( black and brown at home depot ) applied with a critter spray gun, gave it a second misting with just the brown for the rust effect, I also sprinkled iron filings in the finish be interesting to see what happens.
I put Sullivan iron works on it because we live in Sullivan county
