1:1 by Volume Mixing Ratio for Epoxy Resin

What Does 1:1 by Volume Mean?

A 1:1 mixing ratio by volume means you combine equal parts of resin and hardener, measured by volume not weight. For example, if you pour 50ml of resin, you should add 50ml of hardener. Accurate measuring is key to proper curing and a crystal-clear finish.

• Always use marked mixing cups or syringes for best accuracy
• Stir slowly but thoroughly to combine the components, scraping the sides and bottom of your container

Practical Steps for Mixing and Pouring

Start by making sure both bottles are at room temperature. Measure the resin and hardener separately, then combine them in your mixing vessel. Mix gently to reduce bubbles, taking at least 2–3 minutes to ensure complete blending. Once ready, you can pour the mixture into your mould or onto your chosen surface.

For beginner-friendly results, consider using One-2-One Epoxy Resin, a medium viscosity product with a straightforward 1:1 by volume ratio.

When Does 1:1 Mixing Matter?

Choosing a 1:1 by volume system is ideal for crafts, jewellery, or decorative items, where precise weight measurement tools aren’t always available. It reduces the margin for error, making it perfect for both beginners and experienced makers who want hassle-free preparation and curing.
