Happy, not happy....

[Padster]

Another first for me - I used some deep pour resin on pine cones. The type used is not supposed to require a pressure pot or anything external, just mixing and pour leave 5-7 days.
Well there were more bubbles than I care to admit and turning it was....challenging for my ability.

I thought about not posting, and at one point thought I'd have nothing to post anyway!

Still I have managed to produce something, nowhere as thin as I'd like or the shape I wanted, or the finish I wanted but it is something so I'm happy but not happy!

Here ya go:

Really nice for a first try with this resin. here’s something you can try next time. I remember in the old days when you’d poured the resin into the mould you stood the mould on the bandsaw & turned the saw on. The vibration forced the bubbles out. I also remember that when mixing the resin a slow stir created less bubbles than a fast stir. I used to use a pouring resining and I would pass a lighted blow torch over it to release the air bubbles. Hope it helps.

Not that I have ever poured resin, but someone told me that they put the filled moulds on top of the washing machine when it went through all the cycles.

I used to stand my mould's on me fretsaw and use a hot air gun and watch all the bubbles pop away
