Directions:
1. You want to start with a white background. You need one ounce for each coaster. You can either use regular resin and add a white pigment or you can a quick curing resin that cures white. Mix your resin and pour it into the mold cavities.
2. I printed eyeballs out onto transparency film.
3. I cut them out with my circle cutter. TIP: Cut on the side that is not printed on.
4. Once the resin has cured, you want to mix one more ounce of resin per coaster and pour it over the white.
5. Use a lighter to pop the bubbles.
6. Slide the transparency film eyeballs into the resin.
7. Press them down with your stir stick. Make sure you press out all of the bubbles.
8. Pop the bubbles with your lighter. Allow to cure a minimum of 12 hours.
9. Once cured, remove from mold.
That’s it! Now you can keep an eye on your drink!
