Switched resin types and first batch was undermixed. Any way to clean the leftovers out of the mold?
Thanks,

Two ways have worked for me.
1. pour in a batch of properly mixed resin and work it around in the mold with a stick or the blunt end of a paint brush. When it set up, it should pull out the old resin with it.
2. Paper towels. Lots and lots of paper towels. :-)

The repour method seems to work for me too Unless it's severely undermixed. thet i'd go the papertowe route as well.

Sweet. Looks like a two-fer for me. I'll mop up with paper towel, then re-pour.
Thanks!
