this is called cold casting. We use equal parts resin and metal powders for the effect.

Hi Peter. Soooo nice seeing you posting here again.
Now on the subject
I also do turnings like that on wood. I mix brass or bronze or copper I make it into a putty with 15 minute Epoxy and then put it into the grooves or cracks and turn it when it is dry

Matt is one of the busiest youtubers I think he and Peter would be attached at the hip if they lived in the same zip code
