      This question comes from Daisy:

      I have a silicone mal and in the beginning my resin piece was shinning. Now it isnt anymore. Must i wash my mal whit something or is that normal after a wile.
      My next question is how i can my flowers or objects can fix in the middle of my mal. They float always to the top.
      And i Like to have a few tips to create a beautiful end Side of my item.

      Thanx a lot.

      Hi Daisy,

      Are you using a lot of mold release? It might be that it’s leaving a residue. I would try washing the mold with a good detergent and allowing to dry. (Shake the water out first to minimize water spots.) If that doesn’t work, you can try a little rubbing alcohol to remove the residue.

      As for making your flowers or objects appear like they are floating, you are going to have to pour in layers. You can see what I’m talking about in this tutorial: https://www.resinobsession.com/resin-tutorials/button-bangle-resin-bracelet-tutorial
