Pictured above is one of my favorite Lulu Smith resin pieces, Hobnob Pendant.
I met a gentleman that works at Corning and he had a lot of experience with resin. I asked him how do they keep out the bubbles and he said to pour it on a downhill grade. I don't know if that will work for smaller items but I'll give it a try. Some of the things that I have tried that help are:
- slightly warming the mold before I pour.
- blow gently over the surface to break the surface tension allowing bubbles to escape.
- Taking bubbles out with a stick pin (this is so not fun)!
- place the mold on a vibrating surface to break the surface tension.
- pour in thin layers so that it is easier for the bubbles to surface.
- last but no least I always say a prayer cause there is never any guarantee when it comes to resin and bubbles!
