Avoid Overfilling Your Mould to Prevent Spillages

Why Overfilling Causes Problems

When you overfill your mould, the resin can easily spill over the edges, causing sticky drips, uneven finishes, and difficult clean-up. This not only affects the look of your frame’s edges, but also results in wasted resin and potential loss of fine detail—especially in intricate or shallow frame designs.

Tips for a Precise Fill

• Pour resin slowly and check the level frequently.
• Leave a small gap below the rim of your mould to allow for any expansion or the addition of decorative elements.
• Use a pipette or small jug for greater control, especially with smaller or detailed moulds.
• Keep your working area level to minimise movement of the resin inside the mould.

If you’re using a high-quality product such as the “Trasparente” Multipurpose Clear Epoxy Resin, you’ll benefit from a self-levelling formula that helps avoid accidental overflows but still requires mindful pouring.

When This Matters Most

Careful filling is especially important if your project includes embedded photos or keepsakes, or if you plan to make multiple identical frames. An even pour ensures every piece looks professional and reduces post-demoulding touch-ups.
