This question comes from Bill:

I want to make the larger paperweights in a different way. I want to put paint swirls through the mix once i pour it. What types of paints can i use for this process?

Hi Bill,

You can put swirls in resin, but I don’t know that I would use paint to do that. Paints attract moisture which may keep the resin from curing. What you can do though, is use paint (or something else) to color extra resin, then use that colored resin to create the swirls. You can see what I’m talking about in these videos from our youtube channel:
