Mixing Ratio for Jewellery Epoxy Resin

Q: Best Practices for Accurate Measuring and Mixing

Measure by volume, not weight: Use clearly marked cups to avoid errors that can lead to sticky or soft results. Mix thoroughly: Stir the combined resin and hardener slowly with a spatula, scraping the sides and bottom of the container. Avoid rushing: Take your time to prevent bubbles and ensure a fully blended mixture, as incomplete mixing can affect curing and clarity.

Getting the mixing ratio right is vital for creating jewellery or small items with epoxy resin, ensuring your handcrafted pieces come out strong, clear, and flawless every time.

Understanding the 1:1 Mixing Ratio

For most resin jewellery projects, a simple 1:1 ratio by volume of resin to hardener keeps the process straightforward. Kits like the Evershine Collection are made for this, allowing even those new to epoxy to measure with confidence. Simply pour equal parts of both liquids into your mixing container to start.

Other Tips and Creative Additions

Once you’ve mastered the resins’ ratio, experiment with adding colours or decorative inclusions. Liquid colourants like Colourfun offer vibrant shades ideal for jewellery, but use sparingly to avoid disrupting the 1:1 balance. Remember, most pigments should not exceed 5% of the total resin volume.
