Jars of Pond Water are Just One of the Many Uses for Epoxy Resin

When the first layer of resin has set, (this may take overnight in a dust free area) follow the same directions for preparing a second pour of resin to finish off your miniature tadpole jar. If you noticed bubbles in the first pour, leave the second pour to sit (exhale on the bubbles once in a while) until most of the bubbles are gone, before you carefully drip the resin into the dolls house scale jar.

This time fill the jar to just below the top rim, leave the resin to begin to thicken, and add your second layer of tadpoles. They will sink into the resin. If you notice your second layer of tadpoles are floating, not sinking, use tweezers or a toothpick to position the tadpoles below the rim of the jar.

Set the tadpole jar aside in a dust free area to allow the resin to harden.
