Resin shakers are eye-catching pieces prized for their sparkle and movement, but to keep them looking beautiful over time, smart material choices and simple maintenance are key. Here’s how you can enjoy your handmade resin shakers for longer.
Choose the Right Resin for Longevity
The secret to durable resin shakers starts with your resin selection. Look for resins that contain UV filters, as these help to minimise yellowing and preserve clarity when exposed to sunlight. For example, One-2-One Epoxy Resin includes UV resistance and produces a tough, glossy finish suitable for jewellery shakers and accessories. Fast-curing UV gel resins like UV–Creation can also be a good choice, offering a durable, glass-like surface with built-in non-yellowing properties.
Everyday Care and Handling
To protect the appearance of your resin shaker, handle it with care, especially if it’s part of keyrings or jewellery. Resin can scratch if knocked against hard surfaces. Avoid dropping your shaker and clean it with a soft, damp cloth only—avoid chemicals or abrasive cleaners. Submerging resin in water for long periods can lead to moisture creeping in around the seams, so remove shakers before swimming or bathing.
When Long-Lasting Shakers Matter
If you’re gifting, selling, or wearing your resin shakers daily, longevity matters even more. Opting for high-quality, scratch-resistant resins and adopting a gentle care routine will help preserve detail and vibrancy, ensuring your artwork stands out and stays pristine over time.
