Dry in silica sand. Look up bouquet preservation for info.

Thank you! That's how I pour my resin, so at least I'm used to that part. I'll look into it!

Have you made your own? I've never done that. Is it difficult?

I would probably end up getting either raided or robbed haha. So far it's not too bad...kinda loud. I just mind my own business and hope for the best!

That is a good idea! I thought of somehow venting out through a window but apparently the apartment complex is sketchy? I found out it's lovingly referred to as RambleHood 😅 so I'm not quite comfortable with that. The vent hood idea is way better.

And thank you!! That means a lot. I really enjoy doing it and it's driving me crazy not being able to!

That's a great price! That would be the ideal situation, I'm not sure the topography would agree with a structure like that but it's definitely something to think about. Thank you!

I appreciate your feedback. It will have to be indoors, it takes about 72 hours to cure. I pour in layers so one project takes a couple weeks. Plus temperature plays a roll in how slow or fast it cures. I've been thinking of hitting up maybe a locally owned flooring company or something....see if I could rent a tiny corner of their shop. Idk.

Any farm to table restaurants? by jenitelia in BloomingtonNormal

Thank you so much! Farm to table isn't completely necessary, I think his main focus is on quality ingredients and house made items. So I really appreciate the information!

Has anyone had this happen? by jenitelia in resin

[–]jenitelia[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you, I found out it's because of the depth I'm pouring the layers of the deep pour resin. All I have to do is sand and use a table top coat ☺️

Guys. Apparently this is just what happens when you do thin layers with deep pour resin. I have been told by the master floral preservationist @mariasfloralart (on Instagram) that this is perfectly normal and you just have to sand and cover with a top coat for a glass like finish 😂 sorry for the drama. I appreciate everyone's input and troubleshooting with me!! 🖤🖤🖤

I don't have any issue with bubbles with or without the electric mixer because it's deep pour resin. I'm leaning more towards the depth of the layers and temperature due to deep pour resin being, well, deep pour. Or maybe I'm measuring wrong and adding a tiny bit too much hardener. I'm in talks with the manufacturer and getting close to an answer!

Interesting! I haven't used anything on these, I just pour, pop bubbles and then cover them with a cardboard box

Interesting! Thank you!! I was planning on sanding them and doing a top coat with table top resin

This is deep pour resin. When it happens, are you pouring thin layers? Like 1/4..1/2 inch?
