Ribbons

Decided to cast some blans today with ribbons. Below is a link to a quick video series. There are probably lots of methods - this one works for me.

My suggestions on do's and dont's:
- Be pataient letting the ribbons cure, but dont start working on something else and forget about them
- wear gloves - they will be tacky and can create a mess
- let the ribbons fall where the lay; trying to get too specific with a design can be frustrating
- for the final pour - add the resin slowly to be sure to fill all of the gaps; you may need to tip the mold to ensure coverage

And last but not least - post your results. It helps us all learn.

Happy casting!
