Lamp with 100 watt bulb, 2 inches away. Ok he is saying preheat the resin but I agree keeping heat on the slab should suffice.

Important to pre heat slab and epoxy. You can use toaster oven as well, resin epoxy has very little smell.

A little strip of plastic polyboard to stir it. Take your clean slab and heat it too… I use the same hair dryer. Apply till the fractures appear healed and put The oven , make sure it is level. Bake at 200 for 2 hours

I see you can buy the stuff direct from Art Resin. Free shipping. $1 less than Amazon.

Another reason to buy direct. My resin came today, manufacturer date of 9/21! The package I saw in hobby lobby was June of 2020… and it does have a shelf life. ETA: the shelf life of Art Resin is 12 months, and use within 6 months of opening.

This thread got revived and linked to... maybe my friend Paul who jumps fences will be able to fix the photos he posted of the process? He could also email them to me and I can fix them if he wishes. fencejumper

I would really like to see how well it works. It could save a lot of plume material that has voids in it.
