its shiney! Mold trays!

What do you use to create the shapes and designs of the funky resin pieces?



I began by using the standard mold trays that you can buy at any craft store. They are made by Castin Craft and are super easy to use. http://www.kitkraft.biz/product.php?productid=6775

Intructions- make sure to protect work area with wax paper (or similar paper).

• Spray with MOLD RELEASE
  
• Place mold tray on level surface.
  
• Fill mold cavities just below top.
• Place tray in sturdy spot where it will not be moved or jerked.
• Place cover over tray to prevent dust and/or particles from getting in mold (tupperware upside down- my preference)
  
• Once pieces are cured (I like to wait 24 hours), turn tray over and press center area of each piece to release, flex if necessary.
  

****RESIN CHICA TIP: Place in freezer for a couple of minutes to help with pieces that may be "stuck".****

Although these are easy to use, they do not allow for much creativity, but are a GREAT beginners tool.
