When you do the petri technique in open molds, you're dripping colored inks into resin, then dripping white alcohol ink to push the colors down into your resin.  With a thin mold like these bangle molds, you'll need to assist the ink down into the mold by poking it down with our Tiny Point Swabs, paper clips or a headpin.  Stabby stabby stab.  These pieces were made as part of our Resin Bangle Video Tutorial above.  You'll see demolding of the alcohol ink bangle at about 14:20.

My friend, Myriam, also tried out this technique in our Double-Sided Molds, here are some still images so you can see the organic-looking details you'll get with this technique.

You can also have a look at Myriam's Nature tutorial, which has a thorough review of these molds. This video walks you through the different steps in the process.
