A suggestion for calculating the volume of resin for this type of project: Dump all the stones in until you get the mold covered. Don't worry about arrangement. You just need displacement volume. Then pour in water until you get the desired depth. Food coloring might help. Then lift the mold and begin pouring into a graduated container. Fold the mold a bit at a time to hold the stones until the last of the water has dripped out. Now you know the volume of resin to use. To convert it to weight you only need to know the ratio between the specific gravity of water and the specific gravity of mixed resin. The manufacturer's literature should contain the figure for the mixed resin and you can look up the one for water. This would even work for complex molds that you are only filling with resin. If it's a double-walled mold and you're worried about trapped water, just place them in an oven for a bit after you've emptied the water out. Most silicone molds withstand a fair bit of heat.
That’s a great idea! I made a few smaller trivets using high heat resin. They were fun. I added some holographic maple leaves glitter, a little copper and filled up a 9in. round mold, after that cured I de-molded added a base of clear, then using a stick drizzled curvy lines of copper and dark bronze. As well as a few drops of red and gold alcohol ink. Blew it around with my heat gun until I was happy with it. The black rocks look great! That’s a really good way of making one without having to use high heat resin. They’re wonderful for protecting your table. Great job!
Ohh, what a beautiful trivet, Julie! I have always loved rocks...pretty much any rocks...but those sleek, black rocks are simply gorgeous! ❤ Copper is my favorite metal (I know, the label says bronze, BUT...!), so...my two favorite things combined. 😊❤ This will look so elegant on your deck's beautiful dining table!
The colors are perfect. Such a simple yet lovely and functional idea. Please post a picture if any of the birds peck at the stones. I imagine they will find it 'interesting'.
Julie that's very beautiful could you try using a slightly darker blue or maybe an emerald green pigment paste. I think a turquoise would look beautiful as well. My husband and I see it as a very large cookie overloaded with dark chocolate chips.
You should use some of the heat activated color changing pigment in one! You would see the reaction from putting a hot dish on it!! (They even have a clear paint that does the mood ring affect)
You are geniualy no.1 in this feild, very creative ideas, thank you so much , from an arabic follower. ❤️

In the thumbnail, it looked like beans. What a great idea. It looks awesome. Great job Julie.💕🤗
Julie, you have done it again 👏. This trivet is really cool, I love the bronze color with the black pebbles. Awesome!
The colors are perfect. Such a simple yet lovely and functional idea. Please post a picture if any of the birds peck at the stones. I imagine they will find it 'interesting'.
The birds pecking at it was my first thought haha
I put some fruit on it and a magpie ate some of the apple :(
@@PouringYourHeartOut cheeky thing haha
This turned out very nice, Julie. Lookin forward to your next video.
Julie that's very beautiful could you try using a slightly darker blue or maybe an emerald green pigment paste. I think a turquoise would look beautiful as well. My husband and I see it as a very large cookie overloaded with dark chocolate chips.
What a wonderful idea. Beautiful and practical
Adorable! Love the rocks
Looks awesome Julie.
That's awesome! I love it. I guess I really like pebbles and rocks and stuff, lol. Excited to see the next one. xoxoxo
fantastic idea & easy to do. great gift idea
This cam so nice. I’ll have to make one of these for next spring. It’s autumn now here in America.
That's a really cool idea. You have so many clever ideas. I love it
Great idea for a resin project, I love it.
Absolutely beautiful.
Bunnings have flat black pebbles like that. Well they use to.
That is really beautiful! You picked the perfect color for the background. I love it!
Super cool. Soon i will get that big one.
I love this, colors and design is perfect. Great idea not completely covering the stones. ❤
Love it! I think you chose a perfect background color 😊
Chocolate Chip Cookie....♡
Cool idea!
LOOOVVVVEEEE THIS!!!
Awesome idea ❤
Great idea...I really like that
Great idea!
Una gran idea 💡 😉 quedó precioso 💖 gracias por compartir 😊

Love it Julie. Fantastic idea. Thank you so kindly ❤️
Great idea.
Great idea, can’t wait to see what the next one looks like
😻😻😻 Please DO a follow up after using that trivet a few months?? I'm wondering if residual heat from hot pans will affect resin? Love 🌑 river rocks.
Really lovely Julie, and what a great idea ❤
That's awesome! Great idea n it's beautiful 😍❤️
That is so cool I love it
Cool idea, Julie!! It turned out beautifully!
Viewing from the caribbean lovely julie
Wow beautiful ideer ❤️🇩🇰
Wonderful job julie your projects are always amazing you always make it look so easy
Beautiful 😍
I love love love your work! You had mentioned you were waiting for items to arrive then you would make another trivit but I can't seem to find it
This is beautiful Julie thank you, what if I tried sea glass on this. Would love to try. Love the pebbles.
Really nice ❤
I love this. I’ve just started using resin and this is a perfect project for me
You could also start in the middle and work your way out. Kind of making a labyrinth pattern.
Brilliant ❤️
awesome
Parabéns pelo seu trabAlho
It looks really cool! I just wish it didn't trigger my trypophobia so much lol
Which is the best resin to use for heat, (trivits)?
❤️❤️
👍
Neat idea but some how it looks like big bugs! Lol💖
🤐
❤️❤️👍🌹
