Materials

Instructions

  • Begin by measuring out equal amounts of resin and hardener. Use a separate measuring cup for each part. Once equal amounts of both parts are measured, pour them into a mixing cup.
  • Gently stir the two parts together for 3 minutes. When you start to stir, cloudy swirls will appear. Make sure to scrape the sides and bottom of the mixing cup to fully incorporate the two parts.
  • Continue to mix until the cloudy swirls no longer appear and the mixture is clear..
  • Divide the resin into four individual small cups. Mix the resin with paint in three of the cups, and silver ink in the fourth cup. Just add a few drops of paint and ink.
  • Tape off the bottom of the cutting board along the edges or raise the board.
  • Pour each color in the order shown. Continue to add stripes of various colors with the resin until you've covered the area desired.
  • Use a pastry torch to remove any bubbles. Wait about five minutes and repeat.
  • Allow 24 hours to harden.
