Collins Does a Weekend Challenge
The test water result
I broke the resin out of the shot glass I used to hold it
certainly not crystal clear!Ok so the first play with resin wasn’t a roaring success but lets face it, the first time never is, and usually has an element of disappointment and shame in it.
I reached out online to ask for advice.
I can do a deep (25mm) pour with this resin but I need to keep it warm and viscose to allow the bubbles to float to the top and then use the burner on them.
I am currently running a second test with different tints in it to see how well I can put layers into it and see whether that will affect it.
the good news is the stick and the garden moss appear to look pretty good so I know that plan will work, at least in the short term, the moss could still rot. to combat this it has been on the radiator all day to try and dry it out, it won’t kill it or any bacteria on it but I will limit the moisture that gets encased in the resin. we will see. I thought about using poly fibre (cushion filling) but I really like the little leaves/spines that moss has and I cannot think of a way to replicate it yet.
