RESIN TIPS
โ–  01: Resin & epoxy are interchangeable in this context
โ–  02: Keep resin/epoxy at room temperature
โ–  03: Read mixing directions, it takes longer than you think
โ–  04: Make sure your work surface is level
โ–  05: Shinier mold = shinier surface finish
โ–  06: Remove pigment seals beforehand so youโ€™re not rushing against the clock
โ–  07: Try swirling things around after theyโ€™re in the mold
โ–  08: The blowtorch removes bubbles
โ–  09: Add texture with beads, crystals, and glitter
โ–  10: Pouring more lets you move around whatโ€™s already there
โ–  11: You can file and sand resin!
โ–  12: Alcohol ink can drop to the bottom and drip down the edges
โ–  13: Experiment with pigment-to-epoxy ratios
โ–  14: It helps to have a goal in mind - color scheme, general shape, etc
โ–  15: Stop messing with it once the workable time is winding down
โ–  16: Paint pens can be used to add fine detail on top
