Instructions

Epoxy Resin can be used to coat multiple items such as tables, bars, wood, canvas or to fill a mold. In the below steps, the directions are assuming you are not using a mold. 

 

• Step 1. Prep 

When you are not using a mold, you will want to prop up your piece of art on stands. You can use cups or anything of the same height to place under each corner of your piece.

 

• Step 2. Measure

To avoid doing any unnecessary math, you can do a simple google search for “resin calculator” and select any of the options to determine how much resin you will need for your projects. It will require you to do a bit of measuring.

 

Of course, you can always eyeball it, which is what we do most of the time. 😅  It’s always better to have a bit more than you need to avoid having to mix more later if you come up short.

 

• Step 3. Mix

Ratio is 1:1 by volume. Mix thoroughly for 3-5 minutes. Be sure to scrape the sides and the bottom of the cup well to ensure the entire mixture will catalyze properly. 

 

• Step 4. Pour

The resin is self leveling so you will want to make sure your piece of art is leveled. You will want to check the level before pouring. Go ahead and pour, there is no right or wrong way of pouring. Once poured, you can use a stick, brush, etc to clean up any areas you want.

 

Most of the bubbles will pop on their own, but you can also use a heat gun or blow dryer. You’ll want to ensure you are in a dust free area as a blow dryer is more likely to blow dust onto the epoxy. 

 

• Step  5. Wait

You’ll want to give the curing process a full 24 to 48 hours for the best results. The actual time frame will of course vary depending on the thickness of your pour. The thicker the pour, the longer it will take to cure  and vice versa.
