Opal Design Resin: Tutorial

Resin Tutorial Black Opal Design

I love to make these, the layer projects do take patience. Each layer sits for 24 hours and I will typically wait 48 hours if the layer is thick. I waited longer for the layers with Cellophane in them (48 hours) I find that when the Resin is thick, it will cause a slight ripple effect on the top if you rush the layers, when it does finally cure.
