Preparations of your mixture<\/h2>\n

When selecting your mold there is an assortment of options, you can purchase your mold online or from your local craft shop. Another option is you can choose to make your own Resin mold<\/strong><\/a>. The most important thing when selecting what mold to use is to ensure it is flexible (a good option is a plastic or silicone mold) Your best option is a silicone mold.<\/p>\n

Once you have selected your mold your next step is to work out the total amount of resin you will require to fill your mold. If you are lucky some molds say how much resin is required, however, this is not the case with all molds.<\/p>\n

A very easy thing is to use our Resin calculator<\/a><\/strong>. Once you have successfully calculated the volume of casting material required you can then divide that amount in half and you will then know how much of each part of the casting mixture you need.<\/p>\n

This is, of course, assuming that you are using a two-part resin with equal portions of the two substances. You can, of course, make the necessary changes to the calculation if the resin you are using asks for different portions of each part.<\/p>\n

Next, you will need to spray your mold with a mold release<\/a><\/strong> spray. Once sprayed, please allow the spray to dry for the recommended amount of time. Please do not forget this step as you do not want to damage your mold when you remove the finished piece from it.<\/p>\n

If you wish to have a single glow color or two or even more colors, this is the time where you should make that decision. We strongly suggest using at least two colors, as it adds a stunning element to your finished piece. In using two or more colors, you also take away the problem of potential soft spots in your casting. This is thanks to the extra mixing step.<\/p>\n
