Thank you for this. I have been making resin items the passed couple of days (for the 1st time) I was wondering why mine were coming out craptacular! Now i know i need to partial fill..wait then add my little item!! Thank you so much!!
i live in england and it's really hard to find all this stuff, so if i use a rubber ice cube tray will i need that 'mold release spray'?

this is really adorable btw (: xxx
I've made some stuff like this, i use ice trays and works fine. want 2 do a lot more experimenting though. Flowers do work through, think most things do, ive seen resin with bugs set in them 2 and all these things stay ok.
Kelly K. I used a mold I bought at the craft store. I also bought all my supplies at the craft store, Michael's. I know Ben Franklin also carries the supplies, but no molds. You can order molds on the internet. But today I used rubber ice cube trays from the dollar store and they worked wonderfully!
They look wonderful. I've never used resin before so I have a question. Do they pop out ready to go, or do you have to sand them down? What kind of resin do you use for this? Something I can find at a craft store? Thanks in advance.
I'm not completely sure Julie. The coffee beans and candy sprinkles worked well for me. I think for flowers you have to coat them something like a shellac type spray and then encase them in resin. I'm not sure about other food items though, anyone?
