Today I finally got enough time to pour the resin on my next batch of ornaments. I prepped several a few days ago, but it takes a couple of uninterrupted hours to do the resin stage properly, and today was the day.
I had to cut and grind a few more pieces of glass for the red berries and the carrots for the snowmens’ noses. After that I was ready to pour the resin. It’s really more of a drizzle than a pour, then I spread it across the surface of the ornament with a sponge on a stick. After that, there is a lot of scraping of drips off of the backs of the glass. Any drips that I miss will require some sanding after the resin cures, but I really prefer to take a proactive approach and just remove the drips as the form whenever possible. I also use a heat gun at this point to remove bubbles.
