Troubleshooting

While I was working with the resin, I had some pits or dimples on the surface of the tags I created.  Not bubbles, but an uneven surface.

To create a smooth surface, you will need a very fine steel wool to smooth off the resin.  Make sure to wear gloves and gently sand the surface area.

The look in itself is cool once sanded, giving it a dull finish instead of a shiny one.  More like stone.

You can leave your tag that way or go ahead and add your transfer sheet to the piece.

Have you come up with anything to share?

We’d love to hear in the comments.
