last up are my gloves i wear these every single time i touch the resin when it's wet and also when i'm picking up the bottles and anytime i'm moving the wet molds always have my gloves on that's just key i like to make sure that my hands are covered because it's a chemical we're working with a chemical here and i don't want it on my skin so now that i have my gloves on let's introduce the star of the show the resin so i love the art and glow brand i love it it always cures really clear it's great to work with i've never had a problem with art and glow i've tried other brands but it's just the one that i i like there are others on the market and for sure try out which ones that you want but i like art and glow as you can see there are two bottles here okay when you're dealing with epoxy resin you're gonna have a resin and a hardener so these are the two that you're going to mix to create your resin pieces you can't just use one you have to use both to create it so i'm going to get my little measuring cup sometimes when i'm using the smaller cups it's kind of hard to see the the lines on them but i tried to zoom in as best as i could but you can mix however much you want they just have to be equal parts with these cups you can really mix a very small amount if you want to you can even take it down as far as a quarter of a fluid ounce if if you really wanted to i usually just keep it simple and mix up the maximum in this cup which is two tablespoons now there are some people who will put hardener in one cup and resin in the other cup i started out doing that and i always ended up having a little bit more of one than the other because the hardener is actually thinner than the resin is the resin is thick it comes out very slow and the hardener is thin and comes out really fast and so when you're when you're mixing in two separate cups by putting hardener in one cup and then resin in another you're you're ending up never truly having an equal amount so i switched to just pouring them into the same cup right off the bat i'll start off with the hardener which is the thinner one and i'll pour that in first and then after that i'll pour in the resin which like i said it's thicker you can see how it's kind of like a syrupy consistency and i'll make sure that i make it to the two tablespoon line which means that i have exactly one tablespoon of
