I've been using hot glue, rubber bands or a combo to seal the molds as well with varying degrees of success
Not super happy with those either
Open to suggestions

I think a vacuum chamber might solve it, but I don't have one
I did see a YouTube on how to make one for cheap though

A hand holds a 2 piece silicone mold for resin casting

Four purple teardrop shaped resin castings. There are close ups showing air bubbles on the surface of the castings.

That works well with flat molds
the mold for the drops is a 2 piece mold
The bottom comes out fine
You can see there are issues with either an unsightly sprue or a divot, & bubbles on the top that are nearly impossible to avoid

The problem I'm having is with a 2 piece mold
It leaks around the edges despite tricks (tried rubber bands, hot glue etc), & bubbles get trapped at the pour hole
I'm not giving up though

The purple drops are still a wip
I have 3 different molds, all are problematic in their own special way lol
The best mold needs a vacuum chamber tbh. Resin invariably gets air bubbles at the top

I am am fairly happy with how a lot of the beads turned out
Due to the way the molds are made, they all end up with a flat spot. That's ok, it's pretty easy to cover with a fancy bead cap

Dabbling in resin, here's some gems I made a while back for #QiRong cosplay still in progress
I hated them at the time, but now looking back, maybe they're ok

I love October, but there's one ghost who has a bigger place in my heart than most.

These really came out great. I dried out chicken bones for this, but they're very fragile. After seeing how good yours look, I think I might try the same thing! It's the right time of year to look for them lol

Thank you for sharing! It looks so good!
If you don't mind me asking, where did you get that particular resin mold? I can't find that shape *anywhere*

I like it

A lined sketch of Qi Rong in an outfit similar to Envy from Fullmetal Alchemist, consisting of a skin tight turtleneck crop top, cropped jacket with fur at the neckline, and combination shorts and skirt.There is an ouroboros tattoo on his shoulder, and he is smirking at the camera with his head tilted up. One leg is crossed over the other.

I’m really tired and my head hurts but I need the world to see my vision. Qi Rong Envy. Two characters I have never drawn before and then immediately busted out the cuntiest thing of my life. Fullmetal Alchemist.

FULLMETAL ALCHEMIST
