Lay one (or two) pieces of palette paper onto your level working surface. Place the mold in the middle.
TIP: Use a piece of cardboard or other hard, mobile item under the palette paper so you can easily move your piece while it fries, if desired.

#@#

Mix equal parts resin and hardener as directed on the packaging.

#@#

Separate the resin in disposable cups. Set a cup of clear resin aside. Add dye and/or powder to the separated cups and mix well.
TIP: For the tray shown, mix white dye (larger amount needed), black dye, purple dye, Gold powder with Gold glitter and purple powder.

#@#

Pour Gold resin in a couple of diagonal lines across the mold. Allow some to meet and/or cross.

#@#

Outline the Gold lines with a fair amount of white resin.

#@#

Now, highlight with the two tones of purple resin and thin lines of black resin.

#@#

Use your heat gun to move and soften the lines as well as eliminate bubbles.

#@#

Carefully tilt your tray back and forth and side to side to move the resin around the tray until you are happy with the pattern.

#@#

If needed, mix more resin and fill the rest of the mold with clear resin and let cure.

#@#

Demold your tray.

#@#

Turn your tray over and mark where you want the handles.

#@#

Drill holes where marked and use a Phillips-Head screwdriver to attach the handles to the front.
