1. I want to make a crystal ball for a friend, and make pigments swirl together like smoke spiraling around in a ball. How do I do this? Do I have to wait until a layer is tacky first?

2. Pigments. I can’t find much pigments around in canada. Can I use chalk pastels? They seem to work fine, but leave clumps of pigment sometimes. Would a mortal + pestal, or some sort of pill-grinder work to break them up?

3. What should I clear coat my pieces with? I live in canada, so resin-branded things may be unavailable to me.

Wait until your resin has started to get thick, then draw some white resin through it to create the smoke effect.

As for resin supplies, we can ship them to you in Canada. We have colorants and resin here:
