Beginners guide to printing on shrink plastic. Watch me create bunch of custom pins using printable shrink plastic. I have these pins for sale if anyone wants one :-)
This was my first time using printable shrink plastic so it took me 3 sheets to get to where I was happy with the results...please note the setting I used is what worked for my images. It’s not fit for all. The setting will depend a lot on the colors you used so please keep that in mind.

FAQ:
Q: can I use a cricut machine to cut?
A:Yes but it has to be a machine with a high cut pressure like the Circuit Maker. There are many tutorials on how to do it on YouTube so I suggest watching those.
IMPORTANT NOTICE: Please ALWAYS use resin with proper precautions including wearing proper PPEs (glove, mask, respirator etc) AND working in a well ventilated space. I recommend getting a hold of the SDS (Safety Data Sheet) info that every resin company has available to the public (by law). This has all the info about the resin you are using including the precautions you need to take and first aid care. Watch my resin safety video for more info: https://youtu.be/IB_OyP0zIgE

Why do I use two different types of resin in my projects?
I use a casting resin to cast and a doming resin for doming.
Casting resin is usually low in viscosity and works very well in molds without much issue with the bubbles. Also the low viscosity will allow the resin to reach detailed area of the mold. Doming resin is thick in viscosity and holds its shape very nicely. It creates a full dome and tends to hold the surface tension much better than low viscosity resin. So lower risk of the resin dripping off the sides. It also gives the piece a smooth, flawless finish.
