My wife is a coupon addict. She wanted me to make some coupon pens, so I bought one of the label molds and gave it a shot. Elegant Beauties cast in crystal clear alumilite.
I did have some of the tubes end up with resin in them too.
I've had that happen if I pump up the pressure. I usually cast at 20psi, but
higher than that it can force resin into the tubes. I've also found that I
have to put a dab of silicone sealer on the bottom side of some of the
stoppers if air collects there during the cure. It can leave an opening for
resin to seep in.
and you're right, it pops right out, but one of the main reasons for making
the mold was to save on resin. Can't save much resin if it's on the inside..
