so, you've printed your picture, made your bezel, poured your resin....cleaned up side one, turned the charm over and poured you last layer of resin. oh such excitement! such satisfaction! in a few short hours you will be able take up your finished memento charm and admire it, create with it, wear it!!
unfortunately - when you go to check your finished charm, the resin has slipped off of the top and created a pool around the bottom...
get a small dish with water and your file. begin to sand away the excess dried resin. dont forget to keep dipping the charm in your water as you sand. it really makes the job faster and easier.
sand away. try to sand it as level as possible. note the bubble underneath! prepare a fresh batch of resin and layer it on.
this is probably where you find the most frustration. you are anxious to be finished...and it doesnt always go as you planned! i say it often...but its so true. most of all be patient. with the resin. with charm. with yourself!
success will come!! send me a picture! i want to see your work!
blessings
lynn
