      Hi Teresa,

      Sorry to hear you had a problem.  What resin are you using?

      I was selling my resin pendants at a craft faire.  Had an EZ-Up to keep the sun out, but at some point in the day, part of the table was getting direct sunlight.  Didnt think anything of it, until I picked up one of the pendants and saw that it was very hot and the photo was cloudy and discolored.  Then noticed others were developing (not bubbles…but something like it…)  Almost like the resin was lifting from the mod-podged photo?  Lost about 20 pendants to the sunlight.

      Am I doing something wrong?  I feel wrong selling these pendants if they are so sensitive to sunlight!

      I appreciate any help or suggestions!  🙂

      Which ETI resin is it?  There should be a brand name on the box or container somewhere.

      I have seen this happen when resin pendants in metal bezels are left in the sun. The bezel acts as a heat sink and heats up the resin.
