No, I’ve never … No, I’ve never tried adding acrylic paint. I find that I can sometimes color resin stones by adding an enamel glaze (or some metal flake paint) to the outside of the gem.
Lets say I want to … Lets say I want to do clear gems with an image behind it. Would I put the resin in the mold and rest the image on the back or would i glue it to the back of the finished resin like you did with the shiny paper?
I’ve had problems … I’ve had problems with silicone molds—polyester resin won’t set in them and clear epoxy resin jewels cast with silicone have this non-shiny surface that I can’t coat with sealant. (It just beads up.) If anyone knows how to get around that, I would be grateful.
No. You have to … No. You have to make them. (I use styrene plastic sheets which I line with mailing tape to make a smooth surface. ) The hardest part is cutting and fitting the plastic pieces together so they make a “bowl” shape into which you can pour the resin. (And pray it doesn’t leak.)
