Bubbles are a common frustration when creating resin wedding favours, but with a few careful steps, you can achieve clear, professional-looking pieces. Here’s how to minimise bubbles from start to finish.
Start With Gentle Mixing
Avoid whipping air into your resin by stirring the two components slowly but thoroughly. Fast mixing is tempting, especially if you’re excited to start crafting, but it’s more likely to introduce bubbles. Use a flat paddle or mixing stick, scraping the sides and bottom of your cup with consistent, gentle movements.
If you’re new to resin, kits like the Evershine Collection – Artisan Jewellery Epoxy Resin Kit offer a straightforward 1:1 mixing ratio, reducing errors that can lead to bubbles.
Careful Pouring and Layering
Once mixed, let your resin rest for a minute or two so some air bubbles can naturally rise to the surface. Pour slowly and close to your mould, allowing the resin to flow gently. If your designs include embedded items, such as dried flowers, add resin in layers and pause between pours. This approach gives trapped air time to escape before you cover with more resin.
Finish With Light Heat
For the remaining surface bubbles, a quick pass with a heat gun or small torch—held just above the resin—can help dispel them. Avoid overheating, which may distort your shape or damage delicate inclusions like flowers. Always follow the safety advice from your resin kit and only use heat as needed to avoid mishaps.
