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