Start past times roofing a theater surface amongst parchment paper.
Next, role the silicone caulk to brand rings, 1 circular circle nesting simply about the next. Let them dry out or cure completely. I allow mine sit down overnight...it volition last rubbery.
Next yous volition involve the resin. Use a pocket-size mixing loving cup as well as stirring stick for each color of resin yous determine to make, summation a large mixing loving cup as well as stirring stick.

I mixed 4.5 oz of resin.
Separated into vii unlike pocket-size cups as well as mixed amongst a drib or ii of the translucent dyes.
Then pour the resin into the opened upward rings on the parchment. Let them educate for near an hour.
Then gently trace the silicone rings out of the middle of the resin. Leave the exterior telephone there.
Then allow the resin educate overnight.
Next day, mix upward some to a greater extent than clear casting resin. Pour over the rings of colors as well as fill upward the troughs betwixt the rings as well as allow cure over again overnight.
The next day, withdraw the exterior silicone telephone as well as trace the agate slices off the parchment.
Use the smash file to sand as well as smoothen the edges of each slice.
