← Back to How to make resin rings?

When making resin rings, achieving a crystal-clear, glass-like finish is all about technique. Pouring your resin slowly is a vital step to minimise air bubbles and get professional-quality results.
Why Do Air Bubbles Form in Resin?
Mixing and pouring resin can trap tiny air bubbles, especially if the resin is stirred vigorously or poured too quickly. These bubbles can mar the clarity of your finished ring, making them stand out in translucent designs. By slowing down your pour, you allow trapped air to escape more easily, leaving your piece clearer and more refined.
Practical Tips for Bubble-Free Resin Rings
- Mix slowly: Combine resin and hardener at a gentle pace to minimise the introduction of air.
- Pour in a thin stream: Let the resin flow gently, rather than dumping it all at once. This helps bubbles break at the surface before being trapped.
- Use the right resin: Choose clear, low-viscosity resins, such as the Evershine Collection kit, designed for jewellery work and easy mixing.
- Finish with care: After pouring, use a toothpick to coax any visible bubbles to the surface, or use a gentle heat source to help them rise and pop before curing.
When Slowing Down Matters
Taking your time is especially important when working with intricate moulds or designs featuring dried flowers or pigments, as these can trap more air. For best results, always ensure your workspace is at room temperature and give yourself time for each stage—from mixing to the final pour.
