Resin dye is a great option. It only takes a drop. On Amazon, type in "Epoxy Resin Pigment" and you'll find it for around $13. However, once you've mixed your epoxy and hardener, pour some into separate cups and add a drop of color pigment, you'll be well on your way to creating a fantastic finished product. I like to use three colors, so there are two blues in the box that are quite different. The mold is a little difficult to work with, but you can get a nice color swirl by using a tooth pick and pushing the resin around. Pour slowly and remove bubbles with a heat gun or hair dryer. Enjoy!
If the resin is properly made and cured, it shouldn't be an issue.
Do you mean the heat emitted by a candle? Resin can withstand temperatures of 225°F or higher, so it should be fine.
It all depends on the type of resin you're working with. It usually takes around 24 hours, but it varies. And some resins have a 45-minute workable time; sometimes it's less, sometimes it's more.

Uses 3 oz. of mixed resin that is consistently cured in 24 hours.
Unmolding was a breeze.
My first piece turned out beautifully, but the bottom was left exposed. So I have a clear piece that, if it had a bottom, would have been stunning with the stones and color I added to accent it. br>De-cluttering was a breeze. It was difficult to get the stones into the areas where I wanted them, and it was difficult to tell where the resin was going and how much if I wanted to change the color on the first try. This mold requires some practice, but it is well worth it. I'm also pleased with the size, which appears to be large in the advertisement but which I expected to be small. It isn't. Of course, it's not big, but it's large enough to comfortably hold a votive candle. To better illustrate the size, I photographed it next to my coffee cup.
So, I've only recently begun doing this, and the photographs were taken as a warm-up. Love it! At first, I was hesitant to take it out, but it turned out beautifully. I've already made a second purchase.
The bottoms are extremely thin and do not cure for a long time after being removed from the mold. They have a nice appearance, and the molds are long-lasting.
I made one to hold my tealights, but I only used it once because I couldn't stand waiting for the tealight to burn out. The tealight heats up the bottom of the holder, making it hot, soft, and pliable. I wouldn't recommend using this with a tealight, but it is a lovely mold for storing jewelry or other small items in.
I have yet to come across a color that I dislike. You might want to give this mold a little more curing time than other molds of similar size; you'll be pleased with the results. Everyone who has seen the final product has raved about it.
This is a fantastic mold. It was surprisingly simple to remove the resin. Because there is such a small surface area of exposed resin while in the mold, the bubbles are difficult to remove by user error, so make sure you pop them before pouring it in. Another issue is that the petals aren't particularly gleaming. I'll have to apply a clear coat of resin or find a way to polish it.
