Now for a few tips to make sure your resin project is a success!

GET RID OF BUBBLES!

As you stir the resin mix, you may notice bubbles. Use a heat gun to eliminate bubbles. Once, I’ve mixed together the resin, glitter and dye, I like to apply the heat gun to the cup before pouring. This helps liquify the mix even more, making it even easier to pour.

DON’T BE TEMPTED!

A few hours after pouring the resin into the mold, it will start to harden and may feel ready to remove. Don’t disturb it! By touching it, you may leave fingerprints in the almost-cured resin.

VENTILATE!

Resin can release fumes that aren’t great to inhale over an extended period of time. To reduce this concern, make sure you complete your project in a well ventilated area, preferably outdoors. Also, make sure to wear a mask over your face while working with it.

CLEAN UP!

Working with resin can get messy! Even the neatest crafter might get some resin on other surfaces like your phone, skin or other objects. Acetone nail polish or even lemon juice can help clean up the unwanted sticky resin residue.
