This is the resin I used for this project:
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 them:
2. I cut it out and traced it onto the plywood.
3. I cut it out.
4. I sanded the edges.
5. I drew the lines on the wood cut outs, so I could use them as a guide for painting.
6. The first one I did was with the Unicorn Spit. See video to find out how I mixed the colors and painted the burger. I did the second one with acrylic paint.
7. I used a skewer stick paint little sesame seeds on the bun. For the seeds, I used acrylic paint.
8. I used my paint pen to outline the burger.
Here is how they look so far.
9. Once dry, I applied painters tape to the back.
10. I burnished it down, to make sure the tape is well stuck.
11. I used my craft knife to trim off the excess tape.
12. I mixed resin and poured it onto the coasters.
13. I used my stir stick to move the resin around.
14. I made sure to get the edges too.
15. I repeated with the other coaster.
16. I used my lighter to pop the bubbles.
Here they are with the resin, but we’re not done!
17. I used my craft knife to cut along the edge, so I could remove the tape.
18. I used acrylic paint to paint the back of the coasters. This is simply to make sure the raw wood never gets wet.
19. I used glue, just on the edge to prevent future peeling.
20. I put the coaster on a piece of cork shelf liner.
21. I trimmed around to remove the excess cork.
Here they are all finished!
