Working with Resin

Hello Everyone I wanted to walk everyone through working with resin molds. This is a really fun medium to work with.
 Step 1: Get all your supplies....Resin & Hardener, Molds, Mold Release, Plastic Cup, Mixing Stick, Color or Tint, Plastic Gloves & Tooth Picks 

Step 2: Spray your molds with the Mold Release and let it dry
Step 3: Measure equal amounts of Resin & Hardener in to your plastic cup
I mark my bottles with a sharpie about of every inch, so that I know that I have used the right amount
.

Step 4: Stir the mixture together tell its clear, this will take about 2 minutes












Step 5: Add your Color or Tint and keep stirring tell everything is mixed together and the color is nice and even.




Step 6: Next poor your resin in to the molds

 


Step 7: Tap out the Molds and use your Tooth Pick to pop any Bubbles that come to the top of the Mold.






Step 8: Let the resin set and dry for about 4 to 8 hours


 
 Step 9: Pop your fun new resin molds out of the molds.







I hope you all have a blast working with resin and molds.
