Good morning!
I hope you’ve have a great week so far. Today’s video is on making an #epoxy #resin petri dish with alcohol inks.
There are many, many ways to make these petri dishes but this is probably the technique I like to use most so I thought I’d share this process with you. I’m still fairly new to resin and love experimenting so if you are too, then I hope you feel encouraged to give this a go!
Below are the products, or similar, that I’ve used in this video if you are interesting in buying them for yourself:
Resin - The Resin I have used is from Rockstar Resins who will give you 10% off your entire online order along with free shipping when you use my promo code HANNAH at checkout (last section before confirming your order). Click this link to be taken to their site. The resin I use for 95% of my projects, including this one, is their 4 Star 1:1 Thin Coat Resin - rockstarresins.com/r?id=0b4e77
Resin alternative - here’s a great little kit I was once sent as a gift that has many of the necessary items needed for today’s project and apart from the resin, you can use the items over and over again. There is approx 220mls of resin in this kit so plenty for one petri dish, maybe more depending on how big your molds are - amazon.com/gp/product/B07PJ4ZV9Q/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=hannahsomervi-20&camp=1789&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=B07PJ4ZV9Q&linkId=858050756b7901d6c4a18fef133fd4d4
Unfortunately I’ve been experiencing issues with tiny bubbles in my resin lately and I don’t know if this is due to the age of the resin or the humidity but I’m planning on buying a vacuum chamber to see if this fixes it. I’ve always wanted to try one and if it gives my 0 bubbles then that would be awesome!
Silicone molds:
