Hello Tim,
Great question! The finish of your mold will determine the finish of the cured resin – a matte silicone mold will provide a matte finish and a glossy mold will give you a glossy finish :)
You can restore a glossy finish to your cured resin piece by painting on a top coat of fresh resin (this process is called glazing), or you can achieve this effect with another type of resin glazing compound or even clear coat nail polish!
I am new at this and started with your product my first two pours were pretty good. but I noticed on the open side/side facing up it has a mirror finish on it, is there anyway of getting that same effect from the hidden side/the side facing down? The most I’ve heard so far was make sure It’s clean.. Second question, does the silicone that one use make the difference? Thanks.
