FX Poxy: http://amzn.to/2AF3Pkk ~ According to the manufacturer, this one is heat resistant to 500 degrees F.
Here is the video tutorial, so you can see exactly how I made it:
Directions:
1. I mixed on ounce of resin.
2. I mixed in black pigment.
3. I poured the resin into the mold.
4. I used my lighter to pop the bubbles.
5. I let it cure for 12 hours, before moving to the next step.
6. I pulled out some metallic ribbon I had on hand.
7. I cut the ribbons into small, random sized pieces.
8. I mixed one ounce of resin and poured it onto the black background.
9. I popped the bubbles with my lighter.
10. I placed the pieces into the resin.
11. I used my stir stick to press the ribbon into the resin.
12. I popped the bubbles with my lighter.
13. I let it cure until I was sure the ribbons would no longer float. Then, I mixed another ounce of resin and poured it onto the coaster.
14. I popped the bubbles with my lighter.
15. Once cured, I removed it from the mold.
That’s it!
