Resin Coaster Making

Most people who try resin crafting for the first time waste money on the wrong materials, ruin their first pour, and never try again. This book makes sure that does not happen to you.

Written entirely for beginners, this hands-on guide walks you through every stage of creating stunning geode-style resin coasters, trivets, and decorative trays from scratch - no art background, no expensive studio, and no guesswork required.

You will understand exactly why resin behaves the way it does, which means every step you follow actually makes sense rather than feeling like a ritual you are copying blindly.

What you'll find inside:

• A plain-English breakdown of resin types, mixing ratios, pot time, and cure stages so your first pour succeeds
• Full safety protocols including PPE, ventilation setup, and correct disposal of uncured resin
• Color theory built specifically for geode work, covering mica powders, alcohol inks, pigment pastes, and metallic leaf
• Numbered step-by-step pours for coasters, trivets, and decorative trays with scaling guidance for each
• The complete geode technique including crystal interiors, color banding, vein drawing, and torch cell effects
• A practical troubleshooting chapter that fixes sticky resin, cloudiness, yellowing, bubbles, and fish-eye craters
• Finishing, pricing, and packaging guidance for makers who want to sell their work
