I always recommend checking the Eli-Chem website for the correct ratios and safety guidance. ⚠️ Resin Safety: Always work in a well-ventilated area when using epoxy resin. Wear nitrile gloves and avoid skin contact. Keep resin away from children and pets until fully cured. Dispose of uncured resin responsibly — never pour down the drain. ⸻ 🎵 Music All music used on this channel is created by me using Suno (paid subscription). ⸻ 🚂 The Friendship Express Come and join us on the Friendship Express — a place for creativity, support, and a little bit of magic ✨ Watch the full playlist here:    • The Friendship Express-Hosted by Susie   Everyone is welcome 💜 ⸻ 💬 Let’s Connect If you enjoyed this video, feel free to like, comment, and subscribe — it really helps support my channel and means so much 💜 If you’d like to get in touch: 📧 [email protected] 🌿 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?... ⸻ 🎁 Amazon Wishlist If you’d like to support my channel further, I’ve created a small Amazon wishlist 💜 Thank you in advance — your support truly means the world to me https://www.amazon.co.uk/hz/wishlist/... ⸻ 🏷️ Discount Codes ✨ AquaCast (Eli-Chem) https://www.elichem.co.uk/water-based...
