One of the best ways to know how much resin to use for a mold is to measure it with water. Pour water into the mold until it's full, and then empty that mold into one of your resin measuring cups to see how much liquid it holds. As for what kind of resin to use, that depends on how deep your mold is, and what ratios/working time you're comfortable with. For instance, I use a table top resin because it's made to withstand hotter temps. And I make a ton of coasters. But I know that I can only pour it so deep or else it will super heat and warp. I'd suggest looking up the different resin out there, and deciding which one would work best for you. The resin I use has a good long mixing/working time. But polyurethane resin has just minutes of time to work with it. Which is why I've never, and probably will never work with it. I can't see myself being able to move quick enough for it. Lol. Hope that helps!

Are you using quick cure resin, or maybe your resin is too warm if it’s curing too quickly?
It was probably too warm. But I'm also wondering if the addition of the mica powder resin could have made it not pull in as much.
How do I know how much resin to mix and what kind to use?
