Therefore, I didn't want to gloat over your mishap, I wanted to LEARN from one of the best teachers and best artists I know. I have read all the comments and now I shall eagerly await your resolution to this situation. I love resin and love learning from YOU! <br /><br />xox jean yates<br /><br />PS: I once had a resin and glitter necklace hanging in my kitchen to "finish drying" for SIX MONTHS!

If it is too hot or too cold, the reaction can go too fast or too slow. Either your resin cures too fast (before it can self degas) and you get lots of bubbles, or it cures to slowly - sometimes never fully curing. Humidity can also impact the curing process. <br /><br />The EasyCast instructions reccomend that your work area be between 70 and 85 degrees(F).sallahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06831339137309963017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4400747951518169899.post-26872823709342577812011-09-28T10:18:46.470-05:002011-09-28T10:18:46.470-05:00OOOPSY - been there done that - I'm always in ...OOOPSY - been there done that - I'm always in a rush and if I just took a breath - but you get so excited about finishing so you can get a finished product - they "were" cute - maybe trim off the excess - sand down and just paint a layer over the entire piece - but it may be faster just to redo them -DeborahRead.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11335789471068682225noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4400747951518169899.post-59559267503803274172011-09-27T20:06:32.220-05:002011-09-27T20:06:32.220-05:00Really looking forward to seeing how you save thes...Really looking forward to seeing how you save these pieces as I've had this happen as well.Gretchenhttp://www.nocturnalmusings.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4400747951518169899.post-89600064009106501742011-09-27T19:30:56.012-05:002011-09-27T19:30:56.012-05:00These are so cute!

Usually when I want to add a "dome" I pour my resin into a squeeze bottle so I can carefully drip resin onto a surface. This time....I just dribbled from a cup...too much, too fast.

Also I've found when doming UV Resin, it really helps if the edges are really sharp on the bezels rather than rounded. Maybe it was a problem like that as well as a slanty studio? Anyway, sorry to see your hard work, end up in a mess. Glad to hear you can fix it. I know how to deal with an over pour with UV Resin, but since I haven't worked with the 2 part stuff, I am looking forward to seeing how you deal with these.Cindy Lietz, Polymer Clay Tutorhttp://www.beadsandbeading.com/blog/purse-shaped-charms-beads-polymer-clay-tutorial-video/14216/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4400747951518169899.post-68387789213920256222011-09-27T13:45:09.652-05:002011-09-27T13:45:09.652-05:00I would think if the table were sloped, they'd...I would think if the table were sloped, they'd all leak on the same side. Why would temp affect the viscosity? I'd guess cooler temps would maybe make it stiffer. (I haven't used resin since I was a kid, so I know nothing...) Always enjoy your explorations, mistakes and all. It all makes more sense when I can see what goes wrong, then how to fix it.jusaweecatnaphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12242239276015084838noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4400747951518169899.post-90539744510551157182011-09-27T10:28:32.797-05:002011-09-27T10:28:32.797-05:00along with verifying that the table is level, you ...along with verifying that the table is level, you might also want to check the temp and humidity levels.
