Thanks for the reply, now I don't feel like I'm doing something wrong by not getting the resin in every single spot!
Cutting them in half is actually pretty easy, just don't drink two pots of coffee prior to doing it!
And the thins actually lay flat in the bottom of the mold too, than I just stack the other half of the piece on top, tape them down and pour, pressure and wait!
