INSTRUCTIONS

Mix both parts of resin and hardener according to instructions

Different resins have different mixing ratio. Some are 1:1, 2:1 or even 3:1. We work with 2:1 because it's more cost effective that 1:1 and a much higher quality compared to 3:1.

Mix well and stir slowly

Stir resin well for a good 5 to 10 minutes to make sure all the resin mixes well with the hardener. If the liquids are not mixed well, the resin will turn out sticky. Stirring in a figure 8 motion and all around the edges of the mixing bowl helps.

Clean your mold with Isopropyl Alcohol

Make sure molds are clean and dust free before pouring to ensure clarity of resin.

Add in glitters, pigments, micas gold flakes or any decorations

You can start adding in decoratives into the resin or into the mold according to your liking.

Pour resin slowly into mold

Then pour mixture into mold. For layers or patterns, you will need to add on one layer at a time, allow to harden for 12 hours before adding the next layer on. Pour gently to avoid bubbles. You can move the items around before the resin sets.

Wait for 24 hours before unmolding

EPOXY RESIN

A good quality resin will create high clarity, durable pieces that will last a long time. Some resins in the market can be poisonous and cannot be used indoors as it creates toxic fumes during mixing. We work with fumeless, odorless and toxic-free Epoxy Resin to ensure fun and safety.

PIGMENTS

Glitters, pigments, micas all add to the beauty and versatility of resin art. Pigments come in liquid or powder form depending on what you prefer to work with. It is normal for all clear resin to turn yellow over time through exposure to UV rays, so adding color to resin will tint this effect.

RESIN TIPS

Clear surfaces, tools and any spillage with Isopropyl Alcohol

To remove bubbles inside resin, use a heat gun before the resin hardens

Always add only dry ingredients to your resin. Fresh and wet ingredients such a fresh fruits and flowers will need to be dehydrated before adding to the resin to prevent it from rotting.

You can encase any item into resin including shells, toys, some have even encased their child's umbilical cord or cuttings from their pet's fur into resin as keepsake.

Avoid mixing resin in huge batches as high heat will produce an overboiling effect which can be messy and dangerous. If casting large objects, go layer by layer.

Always go for a reputable resin brand to ensure safety, quality and clarity.

Resins always need up to 24 hours to harden depending on the size so plan ahead.
