How to make
* Pebeo Gedeo Bio-Based Glazing Resin Kit 150ml
* Pebeo Fluid Pigments
* Gilding Flakes
* Shot Glass Mould
* Nitrile Gloves
* Wooden Craft Sticks
* Paper Cups or Old Tupperware Pots (for mixing)
Mix the fluid pigments (start with a few drops) with the resin & hardener – refer to the instruction guide for working out quantities. Experiment with mixing the colours together and creating your own unique combinations.
If you want to create a colour separation with the resin, mixing colours separately is important.
Using one coloured mixture, pour into the mould trays until they are nearly full, leaving the top section free for the next colour.
Add gold flecks into moulds and leave to half-set for around 3 hours.
Mix a lighter coloured resin then pour over the top to cover the moulds.
You may need to test the resin that is already in the moulds has hardened slightly so that there will be a level of separation between the two.
Once your moulds are covered, leave to harden for 24 hours before removing from the tray.
