Step 1: Mixing Resin

Begin by mixing a few ounces of EasyCast Resin in the 2 phase process. Make sure to read the instructions thoroughly before mixing. Then stir in all the delicious glitter.

If you aren’t sure how much resin to mix up, here’s a trick:

Fill up the mold with water. Then pour the water into a measuring cup. This will let you know how much resin needs to be mixed to fill the mold.
