This question comes through email by Liz:

I poured the leftover resin into a regular plastic mold and it’s gorgeous with the exception of a slight haze on top. Could this be because the resin was cold or am I doing something wrong?

Hi Liz, the resin is going to pick up the surface of the mold and will impart this onto the surface of the casting. In general, castings from plastic molds may not be as clear and shiny as those made from silicone molds. I talk about it in this blog post: https://resinobsession.com/resin-frequently-asked-questions/plastic-resin-molds-and-silicone-resin-molds-whats-the-difference

Thank you Katherine for the good information.
