Hey Everyone,
I finished up my practice coasters last night/today.
I mixed up some resin and put about 10 drops of blue in the resin to make the bottom layer. I didn't have any Mod Podge to seal my pictures so I was unable to put a picture in these.
I divided the blue resin between my two molds and let them both set overnight. In the morning the blue layer was already solid.
I now had to peel the mold off the two coaster to see how they turned out.
After much prying and pulling I did manage to get this one out. Note for next time add a conditioner or nonstick spray to mold for easier removal. There is a little blemish on the outer ring where the resin wasn't completely cured yet and still stuck to the mold.
I know this isn't the best picture but I was hopping to show you the two different layers, the clear ad the blue layers.
This is the square coaster. Looks really cool on this side, which is supposed to be the bottom but will most likely be the top now. The mold wasn't the best so I probably won't go for homemade molds anymore. The edges are really rough and the sides are cloudy along with the bottom. Maybe I can buff and shine it up. We will see.
Well now I can start my actual presents now that the practice round is over. Will start most of my projects this weekend. Can't wait! Sunday night will be a big blog night for me!
