How to achieve the petri dish effect on epoxy resin



Preparing Resin and Colors

To achieve the petri dish effect on resin, it is essential to use high-quality epoxy resin, such as those available on RESINPRO. Before starting, make sure you have all the necessary materials: epoxy resin, hardener, colored pigments, and other accessories. Follow the manufacturer's instructions carefully to prepare the resin correctly, ensuring a clean and well-ventilated environment during the process.

Creating the Petri Dish Effect

Once the resin is prepared, divide the necessary quantity into different cups to add the colors. Use colored pigments to create the desired shades, mixing each color carefully. Pour the different colors onto the resin surface randomly, creating a marbled effect similar to a petri dish. Use a stick to lightly blend the colors and create interesting patterns and shades.

Adding Details and Finishes

After achieving the desired effect, you can add additional details or inclusions such as dried flowers, leaves, or glitter to further personalize your work. Ensure to place the decorative elements harmoniously and balanced on the resin surface. Let the resin cure for the required time following the manufacturer's instructions. Once fully cured, you can sand any imperfections and polish the surface for a brilliant and professional result.

Tips for Preserving and Protecting the Finished Work

To preserve your work long-term and protect it from scratches and damage, we recommend using high-quality epoxy resins like those available on RESINPRO. Avoid exposing the finished object to heat sources and direct sunlight to preserve its colors over time. Gently clean the surface with a soft cloth and avoid using aggressive solvents that could damage the resin. By following these simple tips, you can admire your masterpiece for a long time.
