So Ive been making some resin jewelry. Everything has been fine until today. I mixed my epoxy resin with the hardener like I always do, but for some reason my resin will not cure. Ive accepted that my batch is never going to cure. Now I am wondering how I can possibly get the gooey, tacky resin out on my mold. I would love any suggestions/ help to save my mold.

Also is there any way to save the dried flower I put in the resin? Can I possibly use them again?

Thanks!

Janet,

Silicone or plastic?

If its plastic, you could try freezing the mess and see if you can then pop it out of the mold.  If its a silicone mold, its probably toast.

I dont know of an easy way to get the flower out of the mold.  You could maybe try sanding it down (depending on how gooey it is) leaving a margin on all sides.  Get it shiny again, they cast it as a finding into your next resin casting.

Good luck!
