You can either pop it out and sand the concave edges, or fill it up and still have to sand the edges. It just depends on how thick you want your resin to be. I rarely end up with something out of a mold I don't have to sand at least a little.

I've put in flowers and some glitter and some more flowers and it seems like it is done, (well three out of 4. The other one doesn't look so great)<br /><br />Should I pop them out now and sand them? Or is it important to fill the whole whole with resin?<br /><br />I used those makeup sponges and the really worked great! I still sanded the outside with an emery board to sand off the big outside.<br /><br />Thanks,<br /><br />PenneePennee Designshttp://www.etsy.com/shop/PenneeDesignsnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8443633911062472799.post-17557384182926306962010-09-22T01:37:36.232-07:002010-09-22T01:37:36.232-07:00I use one of those emery boards that has a rough s...I use one of those emery boards that has a rough side that goes all the way down to a smooth sign on different sides.

I actually eat a lot of popsicles so I always have them haha.<br />A sewing needle or straightpin.. and lots of paper towelsbaltsplainerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11045213204782398417noreply@blogger.com
