Step 1: Mix Resin

Begin by mixing resin according to the package directions in the 2-phase process. Then pour some resin in each of the small paper cups. I used 4 small cups. Leave some resin in the original mixing cup too.

Step 4: Heat

Now use an embossing heat gun to warm up and spread the resin around. Blow gently around in a circle. This will spread the white resin and create cells, veins and other interesting shapes in the resin.

Let the resin sit and cure for 24-48 hours. Set on a level surface and cover if possible to prevent dust and particles from landing on it.

Then let the glue dry for at least 4 hours. All that is needed now is attaching them to furniture with a machine screw (typically included with the knob hardware).
