When I cast bases, I use alum foil as the bottom. I rub the foil over a screen to get a checkerboard effect or scrunch it up and straighten it out again, and then pour my sugar ontop of this. It looks pretty good, just trim the foil after casting. For a CD effect you could use the foil base and with a scotchbrite pad rub the foil in circualr motions, then set your ring on top and cast. Clear CD with a silver back and that "hologram" effect?

Hey guys,
Please be careful with alcohol. It can be deadly in small amounts if ingested to fast and it is very very flamable.It's so flamable it is used for fuel. I think.

Good ol Pan. Yeah you are right about the flame part. Thats why we take pans off the heat to add alcohol. Don't want to lose any eyebrows! And they do use it for fuel in alcohol funny cars.We humans use it to get drunk and fall down and people say we have a drinking problem we don't! We drink, we get drunk, we fall down no problem!
Pretty good huh, Pan.
