Testing the resin

It’s been several months since I poured any resin, so I thought it would be a good idea to test out my resin on some smaller projects before I try it on the big Frank Lloyd Wright window. Some of my resin hardener has yellowed, so I had to toss it. Technically I could use it for projects that have pigments added to the resin, but I don’t want to chance it since most of my projects need clear resin. I had a batch on hand that hadn’t yet been opened, so I used that on these two Rainbow Rows that I made prior to beginning work on the big window. Luckily the temperature in my work area is at the ideal (75 degrees F) for resin right now.

Ready to pour the resin

I meant to mix up about 8 ounces or resin, which is too much, but I can always make a couple of ornaments or coasters with the extra. I ended up overpouring and had 12 ounces to use up, so I made some ornaments and a big mess, too.

Too much resin!

That’s why I put down paper on my work surface, though, so no worries on the mess! And the resin looks great – these two rainbow rows are ready to go a day later.
