  This question comes from Gladys:
  
  It is my hope to create an oblong paperweight/display(he will end up with 4 of these that houses approx. 4 of my sons hockey metals I purchased Clear Polyester Casting Resin and the catalyst. I was planning on using a plastic tray from the dollar store. Does this sound like it would work?

  Hi Gladys,
  
  The plastic tray needs to be very flexible and ideally made from polypropylene. Even then I would still recommend using a mold release.
