Low Viscosity for Excellent Flow in Intricate Moulds

Why Low Viscosity Matters

Resins described as low viscosity are more liquid than thick, honey-like types. This effortless flow allows the resin to reach tiny cavities within intricate moulds and minimises the risk of trapped air, leading to clearer and more professional results. A resin such as Liquidissima Epoxy Resin is specially formulated for these needs, offering high transparency and minimal bubble formation.

Techniques for Best Results

• Pour resin slowly into one corner of the mould, letting it naturally flow to fill details.
• Use a toothpick or a thin tool to guide resin into very fine areas if necessary.
• Consider using a silicone mould crafted for cabochon work, such as the “Cabochon-15” mould, which is both easy to use and produces a glossy finish.
• Allow time for air bubbles to rise and escape before curing.

When This Matters

If your project involves highly detailed moulds—such as floral cabochons, patterned jewellery, or layered inclusions—low viscosity is vital to preserving those fine edges. For larger, simpler shapes, you may use medium viscosity, but for complex pieces, a thin resin is a clear advantage.
