Custom resin mould tutorialby ~Curucar

Resources & Stock Images / Tutorials / Artisan Crafts

Do you have an odd-shaped or -sized resin casting product? This method is for you! It's cheap and doesn't require a vacuum pump.

NOTE: this does not produce perfectly perfect resin casts. All of my jewels turned out a tad lumpy. This won't be an issue if you're painting over your final resin product, though-- just sand the lumps away.

I also fail at the actual resin casting, and there are a zillion other tutorials out there for that. However, if you're using Castin'Craft resin, ignore all the 1:10 catalyst:resin ratios. Using too much catalyst nullifies dye and turns everything yellow. >_*

All credit for the original idea goes to

, who then collaborated with me for the final product.

I'm just happy we both ended up with a final piece. I'm going to try a few more things with the molding and resin. Like the electric toothbrush idea and a few others. I'll keep you up to date on what happens.

YUS! Let me know how the toothbrush thing turns out. I'm going to try 3D stuff next (that can be sanded for later painting)

*salutes* I think I'll be doing Resin casting within the next month or so, so I'll be able to tell you then.
