Avoid Overfilling the Mould for a Better Professional Polish

Why Overfilling Affects the Finish

When resin is poured above the rim of the mould, it results in uneven edges, overflow, and additional material that needs to be sanded down after demoulding. This often leaves marks, making it difficult to achieve the smooth, gleaming surface that makes resin rings stand out. Careful control during pouring directly reduces the time needed for post-cure work and helps you achieve a refined, professional look.

Techniques for Accurate Pouring

For best results, fill moulds just to the upper lip without surpassing the edge. Pour slowly and keep a close eye on the resin level as you approach the top. If you do overfill, use a clean spatula or craft stick to gently remove the excess before allowing the resin to cure.

• Work on a flat, level surface for even pours.
• Use pipettes or squeeze bottles for finer control with small moulds.
• Avoid jostling or moving the mould while the resin is wet.

Choosing the Right Resin Kit

Using a beginner-friendly resin kit helps with both measurement and pouring accuracy. The Evershine Collection Epoxy Resin Kit features a simple 1:1 mixing ratio and includes accessories and moulds ideal for ring making. Opt for clear, low-viscosity resins such as “Liquidissima” for easier levelling and bubble reduction, or try “One-2-One” for a straightforward mixing process and a polished finish.
