Mastering resin mixing is much simpler when you use a product with a straightforward 1:1 by volume ratio. This method is especially suited to beginners and minimises the risk of errors for hassle-free resin crafting and reliable results every time.
What Does 1:1 Mixing by Volume Mean?
Mixing resin at a 1:1 ratio by volume simply means you combine equal parts of resin and hardener, measured using a set of matching cups or containers. There’s no need to weigh out components, convert units, or worry about complex ratios – just pour, mix, and get started.
This simplicity dramatically reduces preparation mistakes, particularly for those new to epoxy. Whether making jewellery, coasters or decorative pieces, the process remains the same for reliable curing and clear finishes.
Practical Tips for Beginners
- Always use matching measuring containers to ensure equal volumes of resin and hardener.
- Mix thoroughly for several minutes, scraping the sides and bottom of your mixing vessel, until the mixture is even and streak-free.
- For projects like personalised jewellery, the Evershine Collection offers a ready-to-use kit with pre-measured bottles and all accessories needed for a smooth start.
With 1:1 by volume kits, you skip the guesswork and focus on creativity.
When This Matters Most
The 1:1 mixing ratio is particularly crucial for projects where precise proportions are key to a perfect cure. It’s ideal for jewellery, craft gifts, or decorative objects – any scenario where clarity and durability are important. Starting with such resin lets even first-timers produce great-looking results without specialised equipment.
