Step 2: Mix the Epoxy Resin Correctly

Epoxy resin typically comes in two parts: resin and hardener. Carefully follow the mixing instructions provided with your resin, paying attention to the recommended ratios and mixing times. Using a clear, multipurpose product such as the “Trasparente” – Multipurpose Clear Epoxy Resin for Casting – Up to 2cm guarantees a brilliant, see-through result for your shapes. Mix slowly and thoroughly to minimise bubbles; scrape the sides and base of the cup to ensure uniform blending. Incomplete mixing is a common cause of sticky or improperly cured pieces.

Step 4: Cure and Demould Your Shapes

Leave your filled moulds on a flat surface and allow the resin to cure according to the manufacturer’s timing. Let the resin cure undisturbed to avoid dust or accidental marks. Curing times vary, but repositioning or flexing the mould too soon can cause dents or cloudiness. Once fully set and hard, gently flex the silicone mould to release your new resin shape. Semi-transparent and non-stick features of quality moulds make demoulding simple and protect intricate details.
