Tips for Making the Most of a 3 kg Resin Kit
Before starting, plan your project’s thickness, size, and decorative requirements. Always read the supplied instructions—especially with deep pour resins—to avoid common issues such as overheating or trapped air bubbles. Use in a well-ventilated space and combine with compatible pigments or inclusions for personalised effects. Remember: high-volume pours (over 5 cm) should be split into multiple layers if needed, and composites work best with careful fabric impregnation and patient curing.
