Resin Casting disappointments are Future Experiment Opportunities

Answering a recent email I'm reminded of a favorite outlook I have towards resin castings that don't come out just perfect. I look at it this way - now you know how "not" to do it. There is a quote that I love from Thomas Edison - he was asked how he felt about the 200 some failures he had before finding the lightbulb that worked and he sharply turned to the person and said "I didn't have any failures, I found 200 ways that didn't work"! So there are no failures in crafting, only opportunities for future discoveries!
