I bought an ice resin kit about a year ago and still haven't had the courage to mix it up. I think I can give it a try now, especially with your helpful tip about marking the mixing cup. I love the mad scientist reference. I am not a precise artist either. I admire it in others, but I lack the patience.Tammy Adamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14018519669764443230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7271508841165439447.post-36974228445283262072014-08-11T20:33:00.930-04:002014-08-11T20:33:00.930-04:00I always get a bit frazzled when working with resi...I always get a bit frazzled when working with resin, too!

Glad i...Losing your sandal made me laugh out loud! <br />Glad it worked well for you! I adore ICE resin and use it in every crazy way I can concoct. Fellow mad scientist - here. <br />Did you wait 5 min after mixing? Thats a tip to help let bubbles dissipate. I love the lit match method too, but I like fire. <br /><br />Next you will start resin coat in paper, and there will be no going back... <br />Thanks for taking us on the ride!
