Had a look at the resin in my hot box and it was running close to expiration date 😫
So as I bought the wrong one anyway (7 min cure time 😵‍💫) have to use it up.

So here we have the four blocks that have been poured, degassed, coloured and poured into moulds.
Not sure what they will turn like but it’s better than it going to waste 🙏

All cut up into useable blanks.
A few small air bubbles that I can see (joys of 7 min set time ☹️)
But should be ok. Purple and Yellow are the ones I am looking forward to turning 👍
