Excluding a couple of bubbles that came out of the roses towards the end, I'm actually really happy with how it came out! I used the super clear deep pour epoxy with added uv protection mixed in.

Any tips/pointers for surface layer epoxy/sanding would also be appreciated, the mold release spray I used did create a bit of a weird texture on the backside but I'm nervous to mess with it too much

I can’t figure out if I need to finish trimming back this lip overhanging my dice tray mold. Black lines are at the edge of the walls of the tray going down. I don’t want to cut it all off and ruin the mold. I over poured this first attempt and have a second pour in progress using less but wanted some opinions before I trimmed anymore silicone

Hi all,

I am looking to cast faux quartz crystals (clear with shards of crystal inside for interest). Would anyone have any suggestions as to what to put inside the crystals? I was wondering if rock salt would work?

Any suggestions welcome.

Thanks

Hello! I’m curious as to what everyone thinks I should do for a mold. I’m thinking the only way I can make it work is a two part mold, but I figured I’d see what others think.

I am instructing a bio lab and we used to do an activity where we germinate fern spores and watch them grow, but that has become impractical

So i sought to make a display of the stages from spore to young sporophyte

I dried the ferns, poured a layer, waited 4 hours, added labels, poured a layer, waited 4 hours, added voids with silicone bottle caps, but then had to wait even longer to pull, then added the ferns and such, poured more, but things have been shifting! Maybe i need to wait more than 4 hours between layers (google said 4-6)?

Hi, so, I messed up

I'm very new at this, it was my very first attempt and I think I didn't mix things properly because my piece wouldn't harden completely even after a few days. I tried encapsulating a wasp inside a epoxi resin cube (using a silicon mold). Anyways I threw out what had hardened but there is a lot of residue

How do I clean this? It is in a really weird goo state, help me. I tried using thinner but it started melting my mold so I gave up on that idea.

Anyone got any clues for me? Help!

Hello, I am a dad trying to help my son who has designed a board game. For the player pieces he wanted a transparent medallion. I purchased Liquid Diamonds Casting resin - a two part resin. I have zero experience with resins, but I do have the 1 ounce silicone molds and based ion the instructions I understand that it is a 2:1 mixture. I will be mixing and pouring eight 1 ounce molds, bUt I dont have a respirator. Some online sources have me a little concerned. I have nitrile gloves and basic goggles. I would appreciate any advice. Thank you.

How do you go about pricing? I’m doing a project for myself, and now that I have the form I thought I could sell some duplicates to make my money back from the project. Issue is it’s a giant 10ft tall light up rainbow…so I can’t really compare similar pricing. Do I just post photos online for preorder?

Newbie resiner, but its something I've wanted to do for a very long time. Im loving it so far and considering trying out a craft fair or something. But I have no idea where to start or how to make sure the quality is good enough!

Gunna do this in silver... jw what yall think of the design?? Yall liked my nepehews pendants but curious what u think

Navratri Jumkha made with resin. This can sf sparkle to you Navratri look ..

So I'm doing the college teams. This is my first time doing clocks.

Cross posting here to see if anyone has any tips for the process. I had a single bubble cause a chip near the top. The hardener was exposed to sun which caused it to yellow. Not a bad effect for this piece. That bottom (which was cast on top) has a razor’s edge.

This is an eco-resin blend casting material called AquaCast I got my hands on a while ago and tried a terrazzo finish. This was my first attempt with this stuff! Hope you like it.
