      This question comes from Lloyd:

      I am trying to make cubes and pyramids with different stones and meteorite in them but am running into trouble. I am using Easy Cast.

      If I pour the resin all at once then the rocks sink and collect together and if I pour in stages (mixing new resin for each stage) there ends up with lines at each stage.

      Any suggestion?

      Hi Lloyd,

      Yes, you will want to pour in layers, otherwise, your items will sink to the bottom. Pour the next layer once the first layer has started to gel, but not completely cure. That will minimize the lines.
