The not so fun side of working with resin. There are so many things that can go wrong, or not come out as you had envisioned, and you won't know it until you demold it the following day.
This is one of the bowls that was made for the custom order. I had made a few of them and they all came out with the same issues. The corners where there was glitter crumbled while trimming off the sharp edges. The main issue though was from the molds themselves. The bottom sides are arcing in the middle of each side, requiring much more trimming (or sanding if that's your method) to get the sides even so the bowls sit flat. In doing so the bottom of the bowls look terrible after being trimmed, and while that part doesn't show while in use, it's not anywhere near the standard of the other resin items I would put in my shop. These molds aren't that old, and haven't been used many times for them to already be becoming misshapen like this. So I've decided to no longer use this particular design and have pulled the few existing pieces I had for sale in the shop since I won't be remaking them or adding more.
