This videos shows how to cast and gold leaf resin castings without resin bubbles. I also show how to add a plinth to the final casting to give it a real uplift and beautiful finish. This technique on resin casting and adding gold leaf is an easy tutorial to follow for any level of crafter. I cover a lot of other hints and tips throughout this video, including how to measure the amount of resin you need for an odd shaped mold, and how to prevent trapped bubbles ruining your casting amongst many others. I list all the materials I use in this video below.

Important notice:
Although I often talk about health and safety in my videos, please make sure you do your own research and take the relevant precautions to ensure that you are protecting your health. I am not responsible for anyone using resin and not taking the correct safety precautions. Resin is a chemical and as such should be treated with respect and at all times the manufacturers safety advice taken.
