Understanding the curing time for resin is key when crafting wedding favours, especially if you have a tight schedule or need to plan batches in advance. Your choice of resin affects both your timescales and creative process.
Epoxy Resin: Allow Up to 48 Hours
For resin favours made using epoxy, curing typically takes between 24 and 48 hours. This ensures your pieces set fully clear and hard, making them durable enough for gifting. Some kits, like the Evershine Collection Epoxy Resin Kit, use a straightforward 1:1 mixing ratio, which streamlines the preparation process. Always work in a dust-free area and leave items undisturbed while curing, ideally covering them to keep out particles and blemishes.
UV Resin: Fast Results in Minutes
If speed is crucial, UV resin offers an efficient alternative. UV-cured pieces can be ready in as little as 2–3 minutes under a suitable UV lamp, enabling rapid production of small and detailed wedding favours. The UV–Creation Fast Acrylic Resin makes this process simple with its ready-to-use formula—no mixing or long waits required.
When Curing Time Matters
- Large orders: Plan epoxy pours in advance, allowing time for each layer to set.
- Personalised details: UV resin is ideal for intricate, small-batch favours with embedded flowers or charms.
- Finishing: Only demould once fully cured to avoid marks and reduce risk of bending or dents.
