I started experimenting with resin during the 2020 COVID-19 lockdown and now I’m here to spread some knowledge about the wonder that is epoxy resin.
In this article I’ll describe how to seal a paper book page and pressed flowers in epoxy resin to make a tray.
These trays are great for jewelry, trinkets, rolling blunts, whatever! I use mine while I’m putting on make up to keep my powder foundation from getting all over the bathroom counter.
Before you attempt to do this yourself, make sure you have the proper PPE like a respirator mask and gloves. If you have any pets, place them in another room away from curing resin and mica powder.
