Getting the right resin level is one of the most important aspects of creating sleek, professional-looking resin jewellery. Overfilling your moulds can lead to runny edges and unfinished pieces—here’s how to get it right every time.
Why Overfilling Happens—and How to Prevent It
Overfilling often occurs when resin is poured too quickly, or if the mould is misjudged in capacity. To prevent this, work slowly and always pour the resin gently in the centre, allowing it to naturally flow towards the edges. Use a pipette or small measuring jug for better control, especially with detailed silicone moulds. Try aiming to fill up to 1–2mm below the top to allow for any settlements or the insertion of inclusions (like dried flowers or glitters).
Tips for Flawless Mold Releases
After your resin has cured, overfilled pieces can be tricky to demould and may have sharp edges. By leaving a slight gap at the top of your mould, you make demoulding simpler and help your piece retain a crisp, even finish. For best results, consider using a kit designed for beginners, such as the “Evershine Collection” – Artisan Jewellery Epoxy Resin Kit with 100+ Accessories, which includes precision mixing tools to help achieve clean pours every time.
When Careful Pouring Truly Matters
Neat resin levels are particularly important for open-back bezels, layered colours, or designs involving embedded items. Overfilling can make it difficult to achieve the clean layers or clear settings that set your jewellery apart.
