Passionart Steps to Follow

• Have your resin at room temp and weigh out how much you require
• Mix your resin slowly so not to introduce to much air then let rest for 10 mins
• Clean your mould with painters or sticky tape - removes micro dust
• Once your resin reaches 33c pour enough into your mold to cover it by 1 to 2mm deep
• Divide the remaining resin into 4 equal parts and add your Colour Passion Mica
• Make sure you leave a small amount of clear resin for the final push / stage
• Pour your colours around the mould slightly overlapping the previous colour
• See video for above as well as doing the clear push at the end
• Now use your low warm heat gun to warm resin causing blending
• Now you can add glitter to the center if you want to for more bling
• Now hit it with a gas torch blue flame but do not burn resin or mould
• Leave to cure for 8 to 10 hours temp depending
• Spray your forming mold with silicone spray
• Remove from your casting mould and place in or on your forming mold
