How To Use Craft Resin Deep Pour Resin

1. Prepare

Before you begin working with Craft Resin Deep Pour, it's essential to prepare your workspace and gather the necessary tools. Here's what you need to do:

• Workspace: To protect your work surface from potential spillages, we recommend covering it with a protective layer.
• Craft Resin Kit: Ensure that the working temperature is between 21-24°C or 70-75°F. Resin that is colder than this range tends to be thick and clumpy, making it challenging to work with.
• PPE: Wear protective gloves to shield your hands, especially if you have sensitive skin. If ventilation is poor, consider using a respirator. Additionally, wear an apron or old clothes to protect your clothing.
• Tools: Gather the necessary tools for your project, including a stir stick, spreader, plastic measuring cup, torch, dust cover, alcohol, paper towel, and hand cleaner. We recommend using plastic tools when working with resin as epoxy resin doesn't adhere to plastic, making the cleaning process much easier.

2. Measure

Accurate measurement is crucial when working with Craft Resin Deep Pour. Follow these steps to ensure the correct ratio:

• Measure the resin and hardener in a 2:1 ratio by volume. Using the wrong ratio may alter the chemical reaction, resulting in an improper cure.
• Tips: Mix the resin and hardener at room temperature to reduce the formation of bubbles. Warm up the bottles of resin and hardener by placing them in warm water (not hot) for 5-10 minutes before use.

3. Mix

Thoroughly mixing the resin and hardener is essential for achieving the desired results. Here's what you should do:

• Stir the resin and hardener together for 3-5 minutes. Inadequate stirring can result in a sticky resin that will never cure properly.
• Scrape the bottom and sides of your mixing vessel as you stir to ensure the entire mixture catalyzes. This step ensures there are no remaining unmixed resin or hardener stuck to the sides, which may prevent a proper cure.

4. Pour

When pouring the mixed resin, it's crucial to avoid scraping the sides of the mixing vessel. Here's why:

• Scraping the sides may introduce any unmixed resin or hardener into your catalyzed resin, leading to soft sticky spots in your cured resin.

5. Wait

After pouring the resin, it's time to let it set and cure. Follow these guidelines:

• Cover your artwork to protect it from dust.
• Maintain a consistent temperature within the recommended range mentioned earlier.
• In approximately 48 hours, your project should be hard to the touch.
• After 72 hours, the resin will be fully cured.
• After 21 days, the cured resin will become heat and scratch-resistant.
• If your work doesn't harden or cure properly, please review the steps above to ensure you followed the instructions correctly.
