Notes about UV resin, UV lamps and printable transparencies:
I use Magic Glos UV resin because it has a strong surface tension and therefore domes nicely. You can do this project with other resins, but be sure the one you choose also has good doming capabilities.
UV resin cures under UV light, which includes the strongest one we have: the sun! However, for this project it's much more convenient to use a UV lamp in your studio.
The transparencies I printed on will work for laser or ink jet printers. However, I did this project with an ink jet printer and have not tested it with laser toner.
