Question:

anyone doing crafts with resin?

i am starting on resin, and i would like to make little charms or pendants with miniature collages inside them. but how do i get the liquid gloss or resin to 'become' a certain shape (since they are liquid before cured), without having to use bottlecaps or whatsoever to hold the resin? like, if i were to use molds to cast round or square shapes, how do i get the resin out from the molds after it cures?another question: is it possible if i put a flower or plant (that's not dried up yet) into resin to preserve it like amber? or even an insect?? i would like to know more about resin, and would appreciate it more if you don't mind explaining instead of giving me a link on resins! thank you!

Answer:

It is called a 'Knock Box' (you see them by the doors of buildings, a little box with a red reflective cover) inside is either a key or an opener button. Police, Fire and EMS carry keys to open these boxes. The dispatchers have also been known to have updated codes for gates and building entry. Not everyplace has one though.
Wear a welding mask and a welding jacket. That always does it for me.
Which device activated? and what type of fire alarm are you talking about? If it is a proper system (which it seems to be if it disrupts your neighbours) then each smoke or heat detector has an l.e.d. light on it to inform you which has activated. There are numerous causes of devices activating but in inclemant weather as you say you have had a thunderstorm, it could be the dampness in the atmosphere that has condensed on the circuitry of your detector. Fire Alarms are my business and this is one of the most obvious cause from your explanation. Other causes are dust (blow the detectors out but warn your neighbours as it can activate them), insects (which get into the works or dark chamber (which require cleaning out), old detectors that are past their working life, magnetic fields (using mobile phones or other apparatus near to detectors), moisture getting into wiring (leaks that will alter the resistance of the circuitry). Voltage spikes/dips do not normally cause fire systems to activate, unless the fire alarm system is also coupled with an intruder system (this monitors the voltage in case an intruder cuts off your power and alarms to let you know via battery back up) hope this helps
