- Get Your Tools and Supplies: Gather all the items needed for your project:
- Two-part epoxy resin (resin and hardener)
- Silicone coaster molds
- Disposable cups
- Stir sticks
- Disposable gloves
- Miica powder or alcohol ink
- Heat gun.
- Mix the Resin: Follow the manufacturer’s instructions to combine the epoxy resin with the hardener. Ensure thorough mixing for the recommended time to fully blend the resin and hardener.
- Add Color: Use mica powder or alcohol ink to add color to the clear resin. Mix the colorants into the resin until a consistent hue is achieved.
- Pour the Resin into the Mold: Carefully pour the resin into the silicone molds, experimenting with various pouring techniques for unique designs. Consider incorporating additional elements like glitter, pressed flowers, beads, or leaves for added flair.
- Use a Heat Gun: Remove any bubbles in the resin by moving it over the surface while keeping it in constant motion. The heat gun can also be used to manipulate the resin for additional effects.
- Allow the Resin to Cure: Allow the resin to cure for the time recommended by the manufacturer, typically around 24 hours for complete hardening and up to a month for full curing.
- Remove the Coasters from the Mold: Once the resin is fully hardened, carefully remove the coasters from the silicone molds. These molds can be reused for future projects.
