Some people make jewelry, some people make statues, some people make coasters. There are a bunch of things you can make with it. Epoxy Resin is the most popular, and it comes in 2 parts that you mix together and then you pour it into a mold and let it cure, usually for at least 24 hours. If you don't mix it properly, it won't cure and there's nothing you can do but scrap the piece and start over. If you stir too vigorously or don't pour carefully, you'll end up with bubbles in your piece. When it's done curing you can pop it out of the mold and you have a resin piece. UV Resin requires UV light to set up, so I use a small UV lamp but you can also use sunlight to cure it. The UV lamp makes it set up in a matter of minutes and is commonly used for smaller things like jewelry.My friend makes jewelry, keychains, and jewelry boxes with her resin. My sister makes tumblers and boxes. I'm going to do "Nerd" crafts. For example, the molds that I made this week are the 16 Pokémon Oreos (I went through 9 packages of Pokémon Oreos to find the best ones to use) and I plan to make the resin Oreos into coasters and try a few other things with them. You can find videos on how to do it on YouTube (that's what I've been watching a TON of). I prepped my molds tonight. If I can find the time I want to try pouring resin into the molds tomorrow after work. Is it like Aves Apoxie sculpt? Sounds Fun!!Not quite. According to the internet Apoxie Sculpt is like a mix between clay and resin. The resin that I'm playing with starts out as a liquid and has to be poured into a mold. You can't really mold it on its own. The resin is also affected by temperature and humidity so since it's been raining I haven't wanted to do too much with it just yet. Maybe later in the week I'll get a chance to try something.

I lost another 2 pounds. I'm down 9 pounds in 8 weeks. I need to get back to tracking more faithfully than I have been lately. Even when I don't use an app to track I try to watch my portion sizes and kind of track it in my head. I'm using the free version of My Fitness Pal right now but My Net Diary sounds like a good app too.Ponyfan
I gained a pound this week. It's the first time I've gained since I started dieting and taking the Slim Shots. I'm sure I can lose it again though.Ponyfan
