Step 2: Mix and Colour the Resin

Always measure your resin and hardener accurately based on your resin’s directions—most kits use a simple 1:1 ratio, while some fast-cure products such as “ICreation” – Fast Epoxy Resin, 6h Demoulding use a 2:1 ratio. Add both parts to a mixing cup, then stir slowly and thoroughly for 2–3 minutes until fully blended, scraping sides and base to avoid streaks that cause weak spots.

To customise your bracelet, introduce pigments, glitters, or natural inclusions. Many starter kits feature a range of colour options and dried flowers for unique effects. Stir gently after adding these extras, being mindful to avoid bubbles.

Step 4: Cure and Demould Your Bracelet

Check the instructions for your chosen resin. UV-cured resins typically harden in 2–3 minutes under a lamp; epoxy resins need several hours to set. For rapid projects, ICreation enables de-moulding in as little as 6 hours, while classic kits take 12–24 hours for best results. Protect the curing piece from dust and movement during this time.

Once the resin is fully cured and the bracelet is firm to the touch, gently remove it from the silicone mould, flexing the mould as needed to avoid cracks or stress marks.

Tips and Troubleshooting for Flawless Resin Bracelets

• Avoid overfilling your moulds to reduce cleanup and ensure smooth edges.
• Let your piece cure fully before de-moulding—rushing this step leads to warping or sticky surfaces.
• If bubbles appear, use a toothpick to pop them or pass warm air briefly over the resin.
• Store mixed resin out of direct sunlight to ensure even curing and clarity.
• Always read your specific product instructions, as different resins may vary in cure times or compatibility with pigments.
