You can choose to give your coaster a gloss or matt surface，After pouring the resin, leave it to cure. It is possible to handle the resin after 24 hours, but rather leave it to cure completely – a process of between 48 – 72 hours. Cover the coaster while curing takes place so that no dust or particles can land on the surface.\r\n\r\nAlternatives to mold release agents:\r\nNon-stick cooking spray: It is non-toxic, won’t damage the mold or resin, and should not affect the finer details of the mold\r\nVegetable and mineral oils: We recommended these for simple molds. If the layer you apply is too thick, the details of the mold may be affected\r\nPetroleum jelly: It can be used for basic molds, that is without finer detail\r\nTalcum powder: This is ideal for more basic molds without much detail
