STEP 1 – GET EVERYTHING READY TO GO! Lay out your molds and materials. Make sure your work surface is level.
STEP 2 – MIX Measure and mix epoxy resin and hardener. Stir, stir, and stir again to mix completely.
STEP 3 – ADD COLOR Add powder pigments or alcohol inks. Remember, a little color goes a long way!
STEP 4 – POUR Pour the mixed epoxy into the molds. Slow and steady pouring reduces air bubbles.
STEP 5 – POP AIR BUBBLES To pop bubbles, wave a heat gun back and forth quickly, above the surface. The heat helps bring bubbles to the surface for quick removal.
STEP 6 – ADD MORE COLOR OR EMBEDDED OBJECTS Use the epoxy-filled syringes & droppers, or alchol inks, to add more color. Now’s also the time to embed any objects, such as tiny gold leaf flakes, crystals, shells — whatever you like!
STEP 7 – REMOVE YOUR JEWELRY Wait about 24 hours for the epoxy to cure completely. Pop your pretties out of the molds — they will release easily!
ADMIRE YOUR BEAUTIFUL CREATIONS! Each piece will have a smooth, glossy finish — no polishing needed!
