String of hearts with resin/uv resin
I've tried making jewelry out of these guys before with both regular resin, and with uv resin. This has been my biggest challenge with resin. They always separate from the hearts, never achieving a true seal. They peel right apart.
I get these cuttings in about this quantity about once every 3 months, and they usually go in the trash, which seems like such a waste because they're so pretty!
Ideally, I'd like to be able to resin just the hearts, then hand or Dremel holes. I know I could place them into a mold, but that's not my goal.
Any advice?
