Thank you for making these videos. I was wanting to do my first resin using a Monster High torso, but wasn't sure what I was doing. This will help greatly!

@raesplaysandreviews Glad I could help!

Awesome vid dude! Just 2 questions, does everything you used come in the kit, and also how durable are the final minis?

[XanderXereus]

@darthbane53 Oh, and the final pieces are quite solid. Obviously the thinner the part, the less solid it will be. But thick pieces will be quite solid indeed. Just be sure to stir the resin well! The better the mix, the harder it will be.

@MASESOX Send me a link when you finish. :)

[XanderXereus]

@darthbane53 You'll need your own plasticine, lego, plastic cups and stir rods. but yes, all tje hard to find stuff comes in the kit: the resin, the mold rubber and the mold release agent.
