    Sooo, I used one of those lap desks with the bean bag bottom today to place my molds and level them! And it worked well! Thank Goodness I was getting very frustrated shimming everything with popsicle sticks, Qtips, rulers, paint sticks , business cards !

      before I made this it was frustrating, having to deal with an unlevel surface. Amazon sells a similar product now for $25-$35 depending on the size.

    I made one but used feet that you screw underneath the board
    It works perfectly 💕

    Good idea to use cutting board if you have one. 👌

    would love if you put a list of what you used and links maybe? I don't know how to search for these things because I dont know the names of them except the cutting board.lol

      I tried doing some links but I'm a dummy so they didn't work. The legs are called adjustable furniture leg leveling glides and the bubble levelers are called bubble levelers. I got everything including the cutting board from amazon.

      Thanks. They're pretty easy to make and are a game changer for resin projects.

      @@watchmefthisup1423 I agree
      I always had to use stiring sticks under my moulds
      I am almost finished making the board.
      Luckily I still had an old TV table thingy that I haven't used in ages. So I'm using the top of it, which is perfect
      & I am using the EKET metal feet from IKEA (Article Number: 703.400.44), because they are on metal plates you can screw onto the board & it turned out great
      All that's missing is the spirit levels & I was super happy that I found the ones you are using, because wherever I looked the ones you need to glue on are more common it seems. But luckily I found a 6 pack on Amazon for £2.99 & it should be delivered today ☺️

    only issue is the screws sticking out the top. I'm thinking it would get in the way with large projects

      It also needed a thin silicone mat to keep resin spills from sticking to the wood.

      Hi Janine,
      I am using the EKET metal feet from IKEA (Article Number: 703.400.44)
      They have metal plates you screw onto the board
      This way its not sticking out at the top 💕

    How would you adjust the pad if not level??

    • @watchmefthisup1423
      @watchmefthisup1423  9 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      To adjust it, you turn the nuts. In the video, I used hex nuts it would have been better to use wing nuts to make adjustments easier.

      They are furniture leveling legs. I got them from Amazon.

    does that help with making resin coasters?

    • @watchmefthisup1423
      @watchmefthisup1423  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      yes, it keeps the resin from pooling to one side

    Looks good but did it work? I’m haveing such a hard time leveling my work space! The resin is easy compared to this!

    • @watchmefthisup1423
      @watchmefthisup1423  2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Yes, it works perfectly. It's a little tricky to get it level and if I was going to make it again I would use wingnuts instead of hexnuts, because I think that it would be easier to adjust with wingnuts. I also have been using a thin silicone mat that I place on top of it, so resin spills are a lot easier to clean up.
