As most of these are TINY or SMALL with lots of details, it is recommended that you do the pour as soon as you pop the surface bubbles so that the resin can get into the little crevices and ***use a blunted toothpick or tool*** to gently "trace" the details before topping the mold off to ensure the best cast possible. 。2. Cut out a piece of cardboard (get some use out of those Amazon boxes! :P ) and line up your shaker mold palettes on it before you pour. This will help you move them around if needed without spilling anything. ALSO, a cheap level will help ensure less finishing/ sanding you will need to do after the piece is out.。3. Smaller casts have less mass, which means it does not generate as much heat and reaction to cure like bigger casts. This just means to be patient and let it cure a little longer. (I know this is extremely hard to ask!)。There are definitely different ways to make great casts so by no means do I mean this is the only way. :/) 。Molds are made to order and usually take approximately 5-9 working days.。If you saw anything on my instagram ( www.instagram.com/Kawaii.Connection ) and is not on here, feel free to send me a message!。Custom resin piece orders are also welcome! :/)。P.S. This type of silicone is not for UV resin use (they require clear silicone) and is not recommended for use with food. Shaker resin pieces are fun but they do take some practice. Do check out all the youtube videos to learn and make sure to watch a bunch as some are more skilled than others. :/)。I hate to have to say this as it seems obvious, but please READ item description and look through product photos so that you make an informed purchase decision. SIZE is ALWAYS noted. It saddens me that some buyers will not read or even scroll through the photos with the ruler (for sizing) and then leave a less than stellar review as he/she was wanting some other size. :/( Please ask if you do not find the information you need. While I do not accept custom size orders, I welcome questions on how to use them and details. I would love to share my love for resin crafting with more people!As a lot of people are just discovering resin, here are a few pointers from someone who had been through the learning curve. I do not claim to be an expert but I learned from the bottom, on my own through trials and fails so these are not heresay but my personal experiences.。1. Before anything else, make sure you have PPE (face, right gloves) and have a well-ventilated space to work in. It will be best to have the space not frequented by kids, family members who have compromised immune system or your fur babies.。 。2. Resin brand matters. Brands from Hobby Lobby or Michael's or Amazon are great for practice. They are on the cheaper side and is not as painful when you mess up and need to throw it away. (Yes, it will happen. Learning process.) Epoxy used in tumblers and cups are not recommended as those are pretty viscous and works best only for cups and countertops. Read the FULL sheet of specs that come with your resin (or read it on their website). Some recommended using a gram scale to measure, others work better using volume while some just works either way. Just always MIX SLOWLY BUT THOROUGHLY.。3. A lot of my molds are TINY and shaker bits or have fine details. With this in mind, know that those above-mentioned resin are not the best option. They are unable to get into the little nooks and crannies well and usually hold those pesky air bubbles trapped in your piece. If you must, make sure to warm up part A in a warm water bath first before mixing up and then use a blunted toothpick to trace the edge and a blunted tool or popsicle stick to graze the details so that all little crannies are covered. I personally only use Liquid Diamonds (from distributor thecraftattack.com who ships same day/next day) or Royal Palm Resin THIN. They both degas magically on their own and are watery thin that there is little I need to do to get rid of air bubbles and get a glass-like piece. (No, I do not get commission from recommending these two. They just work flawlessly for me for my jewelry and tiny bits casting.) AGAIN, mix slowly and very thoroughly so you have Part A and Part B mixed up well and doing their chemical reaction to cure properly.。4. Cut out a piece of cardboard (get some use out of those Amazon boxes! :P ) and line up your shaker mold palettes on it before you pour. This will help you move them around if needed without spilling anything. Make sure they are level if you can help it! This will help minimize any finishing/ sanding you will have to do after.。5. To get a good, perfect cast... It is recommended that you do not let your resin set or thicken too much before pouring or casting so as to ensure that the resin flows into the little nooks and crannies of the details of the mold. Using a blunted toothpick also helps in pushing the resin into the details and ensure an air-bubble-free cast. That is what I do but there are a million ways to do it. :/) Some use a syringe or a dropper.。6. Smaller casts have less mass, which means it does not generate as much heat and reaction to cure like bigger casts. This just means to be patient and let it cure a little longer. (I know this is extremely hard to ask!) Usually, 24 hrs to 36 hrs to demold and full full hard cure in a week.。7. I ALWAYS recommend sanding (wet sanding) the edges of resin casts so as to get rid of any little overhangs that can cause little cuts. Especially when making these for jewelry, you would want to have the edges to be smooth and safe. PLUS, it looks a lot more professional. :/)。8. To paint detailed molds, I have created instructional videos to demonstrate how I do it for my resin pieces. Feel free to check them out!。There are definitely different ways to make great casts so by no means do I mean this is the only way. :/) The most important thing is to be open to failing, learning and have fun in the process! 。
