Mod Podge Dimensional Magic Fail

Last year, I fell in love with the idea of using resin to make creations. I made several necklaces for some very special people in my family for Christmas in 2011. Recently, I agreed to do the "Pay It Forward" challenge on FaceBook. I got all of my supplies together in a very interesting trip to Hobby Lobby with my 3 month old attached to me in my Moby and got to work. I wanted to try something other than a regular resin and had heard about Mod Podge's Dimensional Magic. I'm no newbie to Mod Podge- in fact, one might say I have a slight, crazy obsession with the stuff- but I quickly discovered I just couldn't get DM to work for me. I continuously got bubbles when squeezing the liquid into my craft [bottle caps] and when I'd get them out, more would show up as it dried. It was VERY frustrating! I finally told myself to leave it alone, and it would work out. I got up this morning to find that my adorable craft turned horrid overnight. Every cap looked terrible- holes, bubbles, sunken... I will, from now on, stick to an epoxy resin. I've learned my lesson!
