= FOR THESE PIECES I USED :
▪️ CLEARCAST 7050 resin
- unbeatable price for such a high caliber resin
- 45 minute work time, 8 hours for a touchable cure, 24 hours for full cure
- virtually odor free, VOC free and non-toxic
- cures rock hard and crystal clear
- ✨ ANTI-YELLOWING protection (HALS) & UV absorbers ✨
🛑💰Go direct to the manufacturer like I do :

💕💕 MY PROMISE TO YOU: I only recommend what I believe in. I get asked by manufacturers all the time to try their products ... I will only show you excellent products and I’ll tell you any limitations I come across.
The pieces were originally made using:
▪️PIÑATA Alcohol Inks from Jacquard (all are in the Exciter pack of 9 colors... white is included)
🔹 I really recommend this “Exciter Pack” (appropriately named 😊) of 9 Piñata alcohol inks : amzn.to/2G2tkAB
🔺For Canadians: amzn.to/2HzXn3c
▪️Piñata White Alcohol Ink (Blanco Blanco) separately : amzn.to/2IBLKIn
▪️Miscellaneous Ranger / Tim Holtz Alcohol Inks ...
Most are listed in amazon.com/shop/MyriamsNature
= TOOLS / SUPPLIES =
▪️The 3.9”/9.8cm square petri/coaster was made in a silicone mold
I purchased on eBay ... These molds take 2 - 3 weeks to arrive but cost about $2 ( including shipping!) Please note : some have a shiny interior finish and some have a satin interior ... both are pretty :

🔺For Canadians: bit.ly/2HObjcL (choose “Large Square”)
▪️The nail file I love ... pack of 12 : amzn.to/2FFNXEw
▪️Red silicone, 30 cavity mold that I used for my test pieces: amzn.to/2joRxqp
▪️Bamboo skewers (6 inch):
amzn.to/2Hw1blu
🔺For Canadians: amzn.to/2r3J7Im
Probably cheaper to buy at your grocery store.
= For MIXING RESIN :
▪️ My favorite silicone mixing cup (100 mL / 3.4 oz) with spout: amzn.to/2FU8xyc
🔺 For Canadians : amzn.to/2r7kGdc
✨[SEE BELOW FOR A SET OF 2 BIGGER CUPS]✨
This cup is endlessly reusable! Let remaining resin cure in it overnight and then easily pop it out! The cup is very flexible and has a totally smooth curved inner bottom (perfect for thorough mixing!). Great for paint too!
If you use a lot of resin, you might want two (or more) of these cups so that you have another one to use while leftover resin cures in the first one.
For a set of two larger silicone cups (one is 250 mL / 8 oz and the other is 500 mL / 16 oz): amzn.to/2McEwx7
🔺For Canadians: amzn.to/2l5DrLv
