      Hi all! I recently started making resin artwork on glass picture frames. I am cleaning the glass with rubbing alcohol. When the product is finished, the resin looks swirly (which is something I do not want). Is it from the alcohol? Has anyone had this problem or know how to fix it? I wish I could attach a photo! I’m not entirely sure it wouldn’t come off if I cleaned off the top, but I’m not sure what the best method is to clean it! Also, a small bug landed in my artwork last night-is it possible to remove it with rubbing alcohol without messing up the whole picture?? Next time I will be covering my work! Any tips and answers are greatly appreciated! Thanks a ton!

      Hi Katie,

      Was the resin swirly looking when it was first made or is this something that happened with the rubbing alcohol?
