Sorry if this is an easy fix and a super newbie mistake.

I got a small kit for my daughter for Christmas. I made sure to get the proper catalysts for the resin I purchased as well. Read the directions repeatedly.
Pour looked great with little to no bubbles. Wasn’t worried about those at this point. When hardened, I popped out my test pour. Just make a small round disk (like a coaster shape). The bottom and center were very clear and smooth but the top and sides were very wavy and full of small waves. Any ideas?

Hi Scott,

I’m sorry this happened to you and your daughter. This article will help: https://resinobsession.com/resin-frequently-asked-questions/why-is-my-resin-wavy/

It sounds like you’re off to a great start with your resin project! The wavy texture on the top and sides could be due to a few factors, such as temperature fluctuations or the pouring technique. I remember when I first started experimenting with similar materials; it took a bit of trial and error to get the results I wanted. Interestingly, I recently took an iq test free, which reminded me how important it is to approach new challenges with patience and a willingness to learn. Keep experimenting, and you’ll definitely improve!
