This question comes through email by James:

I have another question that has been stumping me.  I want to tint some resin that comes out transparent and I?m not sure which tinting will work.  Also (and the biggest question) I need to make my own form for the resin because I need a large round form with about a 15 inch diameter.  I am not sure what to make the form out of because I am not sure what will NOT stick to the resin once it is dry.    Thank you so much.

James,

For coloring your resin transparent, we have several in our store here:

As for making a large round mold, you need to have a template that size to make a mold from.  Assuming you have the template, you can then make a silicone mold from it.  Silicone generally doesn’t stick to anything, but I always recommend using a mold release to be sure. This is the one I prefer:
