      Hi! So if I use a pipette or syringe to fill my tiny gem molds or ring mold, is there a way to then clean it, so that I can reuse it? Thanks!

      Hi Hope,

      You can try cleaning them out with acetone while the resin is still wet, but I find the technique rather tedious.

      So, if pipettes are not the best choice, how would you recommend filling small molds like a ring or bangle without spilling resin everywhere?

        Hi Hope,

        Hold a toothpick over the hole opening, then pour the resin onto the toothpick. It will guide it into your mold opening.
