Create a silicone mold

• Take equal parts of "Component A" and "Component B"
• Ball them up to make sure the balls are about the same size
• Mix them together so there are no swirls (about 1 minute)
• Roll it into a ball and then flatten slightly. Press object into putty.
• Allow sitting for 25 minutes before removing the object.
• Allow for additional curing time if possible. A hair dryer can be used to accelerate curing.

Pour the resin

• Pour equal amounts of "A" and "B" into separate plastic cups
• Pour them together into a mixing cup slowly until no swirls are seen.
• Pour slowly into mold and allow the resin to flow naturally
• Allow curing for 18-24 hours
