going to attempt making “resin-cast” jewelry..?

I need some tricks and tips!
…when doing multiple layers, is it easy to mess up? I’m hoping to embed a 3D-looking thing with song lyrics lines printed out from the computer…so could I coat those in clear nail polish first to avoid bleeding?
and what did you mix it in? It says an UNwaxed cup, so are plain old plastic cups okay? and do you have to use a different cup for each layer?
also, when embedding a clasp for a necklace, do you put the ring between the last & second to last layers? thats what I’m assuming.

Metal Casting: Computer Aided Design and Analysis

Product Description
This book presents a scientific approach to metal casting design and analysis supported by software tools. Unlike other books in metal casting focused only on the process know-how, this book uncovers the know-why as well. Besides serving the needs of students of mechanical, production and metallurgical engineering, this book is equally meant to benefit practicing engineers involved or interested in casting development, including product designers, toolmakers, foundry engineers, supply chain managers, engineering consultants, researchers, and software developers. The theory discussed in the book is applicable to all types of castings: ferrous and non-ferrous, produced in sand and metal moulds. By gaining a better understanding of the theory and logic involved through creating, analysing and optimizing virtual castings, the readers will learn how to: – Design process-friendly cast products, leading to shorter development time – Manufacture assured quality castings, leading to fewer rejections and ‘surprises’ – Manage material and energy utilization, leading to higher yield and lower costs.
