Ever tried embedding a tiny torch in resin so it looks like a living ember? I’m curious how you keep the light from going out before the polymer sets.

Sure, just slap a tiny LED in the mix, but you gotta be clever – use a low‑heat LED or a battery‑powered strip so the resin doesn’t melt the light source. Pre‑mix the resin in a shallow tray, drop the light in, then seal it in a small glass tube or a heat‑resistant silicone mould. Keep it cool with a small ice pack while it hardens. If you’re brave, you can use a real candle, but the heat will melt the resin unless you pre‑coats it with a clear, heat‑resistant layer. Remember, resin likes to set fast, so the light has to survive the first 30‑60 seconds or it’s just a dark puddle.

A tiny LED, huh? That’s the kind of gamble that makes a man question his own sanity. Good luck keeping that glass from turning into a molten confession. If you’re brave, I’ll wait for the candle version—just don’t call it art when it turns into a campfire.

Maybe I’ll throw a candle in the mix and call it “abstract pyromancy” so no one will notice the melted confession.
