  1. What an adventure with resin, indeed! I am thinking resin is not in my future, but that drying rack idea may come in handy some day. Enjoy the beach! 🙂


  2. Nice! I have to paint a load of washers this week for a crafty girls birthday party this coming weekend. we will be making washer necklaces. I want to get the base paint done ahead of time and I’ve been racking my brain for a good way to dry the washers without having to sand edges. I was going to brush paint them to prevent them getting stuck to a surface, but I think I can just build this rack and use it to hold them for painting and drying! Thank you!!!! You just saved me a lot of time and aggravation!


  3. Great paperweights Lindsay…don’t think I will be trying resin anytime soon, but enjoyed learning a bit about it from ‘The Frugal Crafter’!!! TFS
    Paper Hugs,


  4. I think I have enough projects on the go so I’ll stay away from resin. I wonder if you use push pins instead of straight pins and place them a little farther apart would your items be more stable on the wider surface?


  5. Great idea for a drying rack! Do you have to glaze/paint one side at a time or are the pin heads small enough they won’t mess up the back if you put something down on it still wet? (Can you tell I tend to be impatient?)


  6. Hey Lindsay, I watched a bunch of Youtube video’s the other night about resin molds and the ladies were all using common baby powder as mold release…of course they were using clay for the most part to make their cast so perhaps that wouldn’t work for a liquid cast like resin. Hmmm, no I think one lady also used liquid resin in a clay mold(you know, the kind of molds you make yourself with the two parts of clay that set up or you can bake them to set up?) with baby powder as a release. Perhaps you can only use the baby powder as a release with clay molds…? Okay, so not as helpful as I meant to be, still. 🙂


  7. I don’t know if this will work with resin, but when I do plaster molds I use hand dish washing soap right out of the bottle. It works just like the mold soap that is used as a release agent. If you don’t like doing dishes by hand, you are bound to have lots of it around (like I do) 🙂


    • hahaha surprisingly I have a lot of that hanging around too, hmmmm…I actually have the proper mold release, I just forgot to prep that mold:)


Tell me what YOU think!
