Accurately mixing epoxy resin is essential for successful results, especially when working on small or intricate projects like jewellery and figurines. Whether to mix by weight or volume depends on the specific resin product you choose.
Understanding Resin Mixing Methods
Epoxy resins are typically formulated to be mixed either by weight or by volume, depending on the manufacturer’s instructions. Most standard epoxy resins are designed to be combined in precise ratios by weight, using digital scales to ensure accuracy. However, some resins, such as the One-2-One Epoxy Resin, feature a simple 1:1 mixing ratio by volume, allowing you to measure equal amounts of resin and hardener using basic measuring cups. Always check the product guidelines to avoid curing issues or sticky finishes.
Practical Tips for Small Craft Projects
For jewellery makers and crafters dealing with tiny volumes, mixing by volume can be much quicker and helps reduce the margin for error. An all-in-one kit like the “Evershine Collection” is especially useful, providing a 1:1 mix resin plus everything you need to get started. Whichever method you use, mix small batches thoroughly, scraping the sides of your mixing container, and pour gently to minimise bubbles and achieve a flawless finish.
When This Matters
- If you’re new to resin work or tackling small, intricate moulds, choosing a resin that mixes 1:1 by volume, like One-2-One, can save time and build confidence. It’s especially helpful for avoiding the common mistakes that occur with weighing out tiny amounts.
