Hi there
I was reading through your .com site and looking at your you tube videos

I was wondering if you have any advice for me
I have a thin bangle silicone mold

The problem I am having is that I find when pouring the resin is coming back up while i am trying to work it through the mold. I have also been ending up with a bubble where I pour into it.
The slits in the mold are thin and because its small I find i am making a huge mess. I just wanted to be successful at getting these to come out right

Do you have any tips i could try?

I appreciate any help you can offer me

Hi Carrie,

Have a look at this tutorial.

You see at the end, wooden skewers are used in the mold to keep the transparency in place.  I would try that here in this case to keep the mold open.

A couple of other thoughts:

1.  Pour in just a little bit of resin and roll it around in your mold.  I cant explain the physics but when you go to pour your next bit, it will spread out easier.

2.  You may want to try warming up your silicone a bit (heat gun).  That may help the resin flow faster. We have a heat gun in our store here: https://shop.resinobsession.com/collections/tools-and-supplies/products/zap-embossing-heat-tool

3.  As a final resort, you may need to consider pressure casting to make sure your resin bracelet stays bubble free.
