I have also sanded it back as I didn&#8217;t really want the usual high gloss finish. It was really difficult to get the set bangle out of the deep mould but I have since found instructions on a blog that say after it has set to pop the whole thing into the freezer for a short time before trying to remove it.<br \/>&nbsp;(I would then of course have to wear gloves to try and wrestle it out of the mold as I can&#8217;t actually grip anything cold or frozen).<\/p>\n<p>Of course I realised before I started that there was little chance the bangle would fit me as I have large hands that don&#8217;t flex very tightly but I have found that if I warm the bangle up, by running it under the hot tap, I can flex the bangle just enough to get it on. &nbsp;I don&#8217;t know whether it will get more brittle with age though? &nbsp;Anyway, it was a fun project for the holidays.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I have been trying not to work over the Christmas holidays, difficult when my studio is so close to home. &nbsp; Anyway as a Christmas treat to myself I bought a pack of casting resin and a bangle mold. &nbsp;Here is my first attempt, not perfect by any means but I have quite enjoyed making [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":90,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[18,120,140],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/userblogs.ganoksin.com\/lynneglazzard\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/158"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/userblogs.ganoksin.com\/lynneglazzard\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/userblogs.ganoksin.com\/lynneglazzard\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/userblogs.ganoksin.com\/lynneglazzard\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/90"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/userblogs.ganoksin.com\/lynneglazzard\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=158"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/userblogs.ganoksin.com\/lynneglazzard\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/158\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/userblogs.ganoksin.com\/lynneglazzard\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=158"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/userblogs.ganoksin.com\/lynneglazzard\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=158"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/userblogs.ganoksin.com\/lynneglazzard\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=158"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
