You will want to elevate the pieces on a pedestal prop such as an old coffee can. Use masking tape or paste wax to prepare and mask the backs of the project for easy drip removal. And be sure to have a dust cover, the proper size, to protect the items while they dry. The dust cover should be large enough to not touch the drying items. Be sure the Ultra-Glo™ materials are properly mixed. Too much of either the hardener or the resin will change the consistency. The amount of humidity in the air will affect the drying and final effect. So, if the humidity is above 60 percent, you should use a dehumidifier.
