cold curing clear resin?

[hydin]

I am a little stumped on an idea that I have.

Back when I put one of my dad's roses in clear resin after his funeral, it came out pretty good but the small amount of clear resin I used got hot, and would have boiled the flower had it been a larger amount.

I want to put a hershey kiss in clear resin (my dad loved em), and I am a little stumped on how to do this. Clear resin can work, but the heat would melt the chocolate and cause a giant mess.

Is there any thing like a cold set resin?

Thanks
Chris

Simple, fabricate a faux Kiss candy. You can scult it out of anything solid then just re-wrap it. Im more concerned with the little paper candy pull than anything. You may want to print out your own paper pull on vinyl then run with it. You may be able to cheat and clear coat the original paper though.

A slow cure resin could work too, but above this post is a way better idea!

This might be just what you need.

I haven't used it yet but it looks like it would be a way to solve your dilemma...

Don't want to fake it, so it looks like that encapso stuff will work in an acrylic tube that's sealed off.

Thanks for the help and tips guys!!!!

Once you get it completed, I'd like to see a picture of how it turns out
Sounds interesting.
