What epoxy do you use and where do you get it?
Also what router bit did you use that the exacto knife or chisel helped with?
Im new to routers so a bit more of an explanation or a YouTube video would be nice.
Good work

You would use a straight bit for that. Something like this:
You can also get these with guide bearings on them for following a template. The main purpose of cutting the shape with a knife or chisel first is to cut the wood fibers so the router doesn't fray the edges as it cuts (aka tear-out). This gives you a nice clean edge after routing.

I use chill ice epoxy from Polymeres Technology. It is not cheap by any means, but it is leaps and bounds better than anything.
As for the bits. I use at least two, sometimes three different bits for my cutouts. After I do my chiseling I do my edges with this guy: it’s a Whiteside carving liner. It’ll make a nice fine edge for you.
I’ll follow that up with a simple thinner straight bit to get my edge a little larger.
Then finish with a larger diameter straight bit to “gut” the rest out.
