Step 1 – On a levelled surface prime your MDF Clock Base using a paint roller with 2 coats of any acrylic paint colour you wish to be the background colour for your clock.

Step 2 – Mix your resin, while it cures bring together the pigments and powders you want to use. To blend the pigments, scoop some on a wooden stick and mix it in with the resin until it’s completely opaque. You will only need a small amount as a little goes a long way.

Step 3 – Layer your different resin mixtures on top of each other to create the desired pattern. When you’re happy with the outcome use the Artist Blow Torch to get rid of any bubbles.
