Thursday, December 23, 2021

Resin - Glitter 3

357th day of 2021.

So far the testing I have done, not really sure whether it is due to faulty UV resin, but it seemed to be harder to dry for thick layer, even after put under UV light for 15 minutes. Resin layer is just 3~4mm.



Wednesday, December 22, 2021
