Hi, I am using Naked Fusion Diamond Clarity Artist Resin. My resin is setting up nicely, hard, good clarity, minimal bubbles, easy release… BUT it seems to shrink? I am pouring small jewelry molds (silicone, no release spray) in flat, sphere, egg shapes. I fill each mold on a level surface and get eye level to make sure I fill just to get the smallest dome on top or leveled. I have an incubator to let them set up in, where I can set the temperature and humidity, so conditions are ideal. YET each piece comes out with a sharp edge where resin has dipped below level and hardened with a banked edge. What am I doing wrong? I can sand that tiny edge but then I have to re-coat and I can never ever ever ever get that top coat applied without a drip edge or blotchy coverage. I’d love to spray a resin sealer like you have mentioned in your “sanding resin” forum, but it is out of stock. Is there another type you recommend? Your explanations and help are amazing and have fixed so many other issues that I was facing already:)

Hi Esmeralda,

It could be normal for the resin you are using. Which one are you using?
