Instructions
Learn how to cast resin via our tutorial.
Mix your resin according to package directions.
Pour enough resin into your mold to cover the bottom, up to ¼ inch thick bubbles will appear in the resin.
Sing a heat gun, keeping it moving, run it over the resin to pop any bubbles.
Using your colored inks, start dropping a few drops throughout the resin.
For the watercolor effect, use your white alcohol ink and drop it over where you dropped your colored inks.
After a few moments, you will notice the colors starting to spread and mix together.
Allow to harden for 24 hours before removing from the mold.
TIPS:
- If a lip forms around the edge of coaster, use a piece of sandpaper to remove.
- Without the white, the colors will not spread and melt into each other the same ways as they do when you add the white.
