How do I prevent bubbles in my resin pendant?

← Back to How to Make a Resin Pendant: A Tutorial

Bubbles are a common issue when working with resin pendants, sometimes spoiling the final clarity of your jewellery. With a few cautious steps, however, you can achieve a flawless, glass-like result.

Mixing Resin Carefully

The way you combine your resin and hardener or use single-part resins greatly affects bubble formation. Always stir your mixture slowly in a circular motion, aiming for a steady technique rather than an energetic whisk. Hasty or vigorous mixing traps more air, which can become unsightly bubbles later on.

If you’re using a beginner-friendly kit, such as the Evershine Collection, follow the provided instructions closely and take your time blending the components.

Pouring and Bubble Removal Techniques

Once your resin is blended, pour it slowly and gradually into your mould or bezel. This gentle approach allows air to rise and escape, rather than being caught beneath the surface. Should any bubbles appear, you can pop them with a toothpick or a fine tool before the curing process starts. Working in a warm environment also helps bubbles travel upwards more easily.

When This Matters Most

Bubble control is essential for pieces where clarity is highlighted—such as pendants with embedded dried flowers or transparent colours. For those using UV resin or creating statement jewellery, a smooth, clear finish is especially important. Selecting resins with good degassing properties can further support a professional outcome.
