Thank you. I was thinking that it might have been too hot too. I used the lighter and then used the UV lamp, so I am thinking that's why it flashed cured
Love the molds, I’ll have to run to my Dollar Tree to see if they have them. I never use heat on my molds to pop bubbles, I spritz with alcohol, it works great and doesn’t ruin your molds.
I have heard if you put the mold on top of a mirror it will help it cure a little better if the mold is a little thicker. If the resin gets too hot i will throw a fan on it while the lights on. Works better and no waves. I just bought this mold today. Wish i would have gotten the other now. Dang it! O well gives me an excuse to go back... As if we need an excuse.. lol Ty for checking it out for us!
I have many Dollar Store molds, and I like them a lot. Seems like the molds are not too deep. You just used too many drops of ink. UV resin is different from epoxy - the ink dilutes the resin. I normal hit the light for 2 minutes, then flip it over for another minute. That usually does the trick. Perhaps you should try it again.
Ya and if it gets to hot it will distort the mold it will warp from the heat

Thanks for the tip! I will try it.
New sub. Ive never tried any resin molds
Thanks for subbing! I've only been doing resin crafts for a couple of months and really enjoy it. If you get a chance, give it a try.
I have a light switch cover mold from dollar tree. ❤ just bought it 2 days ago.
I hope my Dollar Tree has more molds. I'll keep an eye out for it. Thanks for the comment!
I hit a jewelry box mold, a bracelet mold and a geode mold
Awesome! I hope my Dollar Tree has them!
I think it would have been helpful for you to show the completed resin items from the front after completion.
Thanks. I will show from both sides next time.
They currently have a paw mold.
Thanks! I will have to watch for that one.

I believe your resin was to deep. You need to do layers.
Thank you for the comment. I was thinking that it was too deep too. The mold seems deep for jewlery.
