Step-by-Step Guide:
1. Lay out a plastic sheet to protect the work surface. Make sure the wooden surface is clean and all materials are within reach. Don’t forget to wear disposable gloves and follow the safety instructions.
2. Place the wooden base on 4 objects of the same size, making sure that it is at a suitable height above the table (the top must be level). Be sure to check the flatness of this setup to prevent an excessive amount of resin from leaking over the edges. This precaution will help you get a perfect resin artwork from the first application.
3. Mix the epoxy following the 100:66 mixing ratio (by weight): 42 g of A and 28 g of B to cover 2 round and 2 square coasters. Weigh and mix both components thoroughly for 3 minutes, making sure all sides and bottom of the mixing container are encompassed for effective mixing. Let the mixture sit for 2-3 minutes.
4. Divide the mixture into separate containers for each colour you intend to use. Add resin dye to each container to achieve the desired shades. Mix thoroughly.
5. Layer the colours into one large container without mixing them, allowing them to stack on top of each other. Pour this mixture in layers over the wooden bases for a dynamic and abstract effect. Alternatively, you can pour each colour into different places on the coaster according to your design concept.

6. Let the resin sit for 10-15 minutes, to remove air bubbles. Use a small gas torch to gently sweep over the surface of the resin. This process will burst any air bubbles and help create a smoother surface. Leave your resin artwork undisturbed in a dust-free place for 24 to 48 hours.
Once the resin has cured, use an abrasive pad to remove any excess resin that has dripped onto the bottom of the base.
