FOURTH LAYER

When your fourth layer hardens,

the coiled quartz should be
protruding from the
center. Pour enough resin
to cover quartz to just where
the terminations begin, as
pictured in layer 5 at right.

Set your 1" diameter pipe over

the quartz, allowing resin
inside. Add some metal to fill
in the space on the outside of
the pipe all the way around,
leveling it out nicely. Do not
wiggle pipe and allow metal
underneath. Only resin gets
poured in pipes.
Continue in this way, layering your metals and resin a bit
at a time, tamping it down to get your metal layer packed
nice and tight. Add gradually, almost to the top, leaving just
enough space for your three turquoises. You may do other
"fancy" things like arrange garnets on there.
Now coil your smallest pipe
in a clockwise fashion, leaving
a bit of room at the top, as
pictured at right. Then coil the
1/2" pipe COUNTERCLOCKWISE.
Set the coiled 1/2" pipe in the
center, just over the tip of the
quartz. You will probably need to
support this with wires that will
come off later. Wrap a wire around
the outside of the 1/2" pipe and
after you position it, wrap the
other end around the outer pipe
to hold it temporarily until it sets.
Please note, you may use 1", 3/4",
and 1/2" pipes for the middle. If
you do so, make them a bit longer.

Pour enough resin inside the

pipe to almost cover the tip

of the crystal. Let harden.

Place your smallest pipe in
center and slide the coiled
dt quartz inside the middle
pipe. Pour drops of resin
to fill pipes. Be patient, it
takes time. Keep adding
resin until pipes are full. Do
this slowly, allowing it to seep
to the bottoms of the pipes.
Add the three turquoise to
the top, placed evenly around,
and fill mold to cover
them. We have since found that
adding a small raw topaz at the
very top of the middle pipe is a
very effective way of stepping it
up. (Optional, of course.) All
done!!
