Craft & Handwork
Resin Craft
Set flowers or trinkets in clear resin and let it cure solid
Mix the two parts by ratio, pour into a silicone mould, and leave it a day. Bubbles and a bad ratio cause more failures than any shaping mistake, and a little off means the piece stays tacky forever, so the amounts get weighed rather than guessed. It fumes while curing, so open a window. A few moulds and a small bottle is a whole starter kit.
First stepGet a silicone mould and a small resin kit, weigh both parts on a kitchen scale, and pour one coaster with a window open.
