    This is the hard part.
    Resin is pretty tricky to use, so you may want to look up somewhere online how to work with it. Basically once you have your catalist and resin mixed properly you pour it into the bottles, making sure all walls are coated. After you have the walls coated, turn your bottles upside-down and let the resin drain out. Let sit for about 45 minutes so the resin has time to harden a bit.
