I need help with Resin!

So I bought my casting resin and the catalyst to make resin charms, but I'm still not sure how to do what I want.
- can I use molds I have in my house?
- does it have to be an accurate measurement?
-where should I go to do this?
- what should I use?
*Please Help*

one thing i know about resin, is you can use molds you already have in your house..pretty much any mold..just don't use those rubbery ones..the resin can stick to those..ruining the mold.

Thanks! I'm really excited to start. I'm either gonna go outside or open a window and work right by it. Happy

I'd suggust using baby powder before you start. I rub some on my mold and it seems to help them come out better.
