I've been using the only kit they have at Hobby Lobby here (pic).

The frustrating thing is the Idea was to cut down on labor to make these available for sale at reasonable price. But the time involved fixing them makes it just as time consuming is making them from wood.

The other bad news is after sanding and primering till they appear to stop leaking they can still bubble (not sticky though)after the paint is applied(pic).

The only clue I have is they only leak from the exposed side and not from any parts that contact the mold itself.

I'm thinking of making it into a two part mold by making a top that slaps on after the resin is poured.

At first I eyeballed the mix but I was using slightly more clear than the other so I got real tech on it. but it didn't make any difference on the leaking problem.   ???
