One thing to remember is if you use resin
do not have any plastic to be covered by resin.
The resin gets hot when you mix it and can bow the plastic
if it is thin enough.
Also if you put postcards in resin first cover postcards or other items
with white Elmers glue.
This will keep the resin from soaking the paper and messing it up.
It will also keep colors from bleeding when resin is poured.
As always test one postcard first.
Don't forget the torch flaming it always adds.
You can also shellac then resin for that old time look.
Here's one more tip don't use real images make a copy.
This way you can use high dollar menus or cut images to suit.
Or use many of the same image.
