Directions:
1. I mixed six ounces of resin and broke it into three cups.
2. First I used coarse kosher salt and mixed it in with the resin.
3. Then poured it into the coaster mold.
4. Then I used the Himalayan pink salt and mixed it in with the resin.
5. Then poured it into the coaster mold.
6. Finally, I mixed in the sidewalk salt – the kind you throw on the sidewalk in the winder, so you don’t break your neck on the ice!
7. Then I poured that into the mold.
8. I then broke out my lighter and popped the bubbles.
9. I let it cure a minimum of 12 hours before removing them from the mold.
That’s it!
