Last Wednesday we used epoxy resin to make all sorts of cool stuff. Everyone's favorite was the unicorn molds. Epoxy is generally easy to work with, but you have to mix the proportions just right, and mix it well.
The mix I use is 50:50 epoxy to hardener. So we poured it into one large cup to be stirred and stirred and then poured into each seperate individual's cup. Unfortunately, we didn't stir long enough and those who received the first pours got mostly the hardener. Ironically, those molds did not harden. I decided to re-do the two most beautiful ones and used the couple remaining spots in the tray to make my own resin unicorns. In on I spelled out karma. Ta-Dah! The making of the KARMA AWARD! So here is how it works. The good deed for the week receives the Karma Award for the week and then has special priveledges, not to mention good karma. I have a neighbor who is quite sick and so I am hoping I can get someone to become the first recipient by helping me mow our neighbor's lawn. I will keep you posted.
