3 mistakes every beginner makes

Look inside the manual
  1. 1Guessing the ratioResin only cures right in the exact ratio on the label. Too much of either part and it stays soft and sticky.
  2. 2Stirring like you're whipping eggsFast stirring folds in air. Stir slowly for the full time and scrape the sides and bottom.
  3. 3Using fresh flowersAny water left in a flower turns it brown inside the resin. Press and dry them for a week or two first.
