Weโve been wanting to get into epoxy / resin so we decided to experiment with pigment, alcohol inks, and interesting fillers! For a total of $60 off of HelloFresh, thatโs $20 off your first 3 boxes, visit bit.ly/2IzIqyL and enter evankatelyn60

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 youโre not rushing against the clock
โ 07: Try swirling things around after theyโre 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 whatโs 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
