You have about 30-40 minutes of working time to mix in colors and pour resin into molds before it begins to solidify.

TIP: Try not to mix more resin than you need at once to avoid wasting materials.

Essential Resin Craft Supplies Checklist

# data[].attributes.body
Before you dive into crafting, make sure you gather these materials:

1:1 epoxy resin & hardener

silicone molds

gloves and apron

disposable mixing cups/stick

91% isopropyl alcohol

protective cover for your workspace

torch/heat gun (to pop bubbles)

measuring spoons

resin dyes and powders for coloring

glitter and other decorative additions such as pressed flowers

A clean, level workspace is key while resin is curing.

Epoxy resin is safe when handled properly.
- Always use gloves and work in a well-ventilated area.
- Wear eye protection and an apron to protect your clothing.
- Cover your workspace with plastic or silicone mats for easy cleanup.
- Clean spills with 91% isopropyl alcohol immediately
- Children should always have supervision when using resin.

Precise measuring is crucial! Combine exactly equal parts (by volume) of resin and hardener in a clean cup. Stir for 3-5 minutes—scraping the sides and bottom to ensure complete mixing. Poor mixing can result in sticky or improperly cured resin.

1. Mix your resin as described before.
2. Add pigments, glitter, or tiny charms.
3. Pour into keychain or jewelry silicone molds.
4. Use a toothpick to spread evenly and pop bubbles with a heat gun.
5. Let cure for 24 hours. Attach jump rings and keychains/hooks.

TIP: Work in layers if using heavy add-ins, such as beads or charms!

1. Prepare mixed resin and pour a base layer in your coaster mold.
2. Swirl in resin dyes or powders, alcohol ink, or embed dried flowers.
3. Pop surface bubbles with a heat gun.
4. Cover to protect against dust; cure for 24-48 hours.
5. Demold and sand edges if needed.

TIP: Add a cork or felt backing for scratch-free use!

1. Pour mixed resin into trinket box molds in layers for depth.
2. Embed larger decorative items between layers.
3. For more detailed designs, allow each layer to partially cure (1-2 hours) before adding the next.
4. Finish with a final clear layer and cure completely.

TIP: Use metallic flakes or pressed flowers for stunning effects.

1. Use a spinner mold and place the bearing in the center.
2. Pour mixed resin, adding glitters or colors as desired.
3. Let rest on a level surface such as a counter for proper spinning.
4. Cure 24 hours, then demold and assemble.

TIP: Insert bearings and assemble fidget spinner immediately after demolding. Resin shrinks a little as it cures.

- Try layering techniques to add depth.
- Use silicone measuring cups for less waste.
- For clear castings, let the resin sit after mixing to reduce bubbles.
- If you make a mistake, you can sand and recoat the project!

Wipe tools with 91% isopropyl alcohol before resin hardens. Remove gloves carefully and dispose as per local guidelines. Never pour leftover resin down the drain—let it cure then discard as solid waste.

Once fully cured, demold your project. Sand rough edges under water (wet sanding) to minimize dust. Polish with a microfiber cloth or use resin polish for high-gloss results.

TIP: If surface is sticky, the resin may not have mixed properly—don’t worry, you can fix it with a new layer!

Avoid over filling smaller molds for things such as keychains and jewelry to keep resin from overflowing.
