stamp blanks

[rich gubbin]

Hi All,
After reading posts on casting stamps in resin, it inspired me to have a go. After a failed attempt at the decoupage method, i decided to invest in a mold and some resin and give that way a go. I poured my first ones this morning and so far everything looks good. I wont know for sure till i pop them out of the mold and turn them up, but fingers crossed.
So i,d like to share this picture with you all and say a big thankyou to everyone that has posted the information about this process that has helped me get this far.

Beautiful job. Looks like it will yield an excellent pen. I've been learning to cast and can't wait to do a stamp blank. Any secrets for adhesion or sealing of the stamps that you would care to share?
