This question comes from Stephen:

I have casted a couple of my items, the seal where the 2 part molds attach leak resin and my product is only half of what it is suppose to be. Can i re-pour another mixture, will it attach itself to the already cured resin in the mood or will it split apart. What can i do to keep my 2 part holds from leaking?

Hi Stephen,

Assuming you cast ‘like on like’ (i.e. epoxy on epoxy), another layer should adhere fine.

You can try using a rubber band to keep the mold pieces together for casting. You can see an example in this video on our youtube channel: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XNSvffZ-il4

Hi,
So, you’re saying I can pour a mold, then I can add items to this mold and pour more of the same type of resin on top and the 2 resins will adhere permanently to the 1st one?

[Katherine Swift]

Yes, everything should adhere fine.
