7 Steps to a Bubble-Free and Flawless Cure

We understand the frustration of pouring your heart, time, and effort into a piece, only to be disappointed by sticky surfaces, a jelly-like texture, or trapped air bubbles.

Whether you're a seasoned resin artist looking to perfect your craft or a curious beginner ready to embark on an exciting resin journey, we've got you covered. This comprehensive guide will empower you to bring your artistic vision to life with confidence.

Say goodbye to the sticky setbacks and hello to resin perfection!

Temperature plays a vital role in perfecting your resin crafts, be sure to maintain a workspace temperature of 72°F - 85°F, ideally around 78°F. Additionally, ensure that the surface you pour resin on matches the temperature of your workspace and resin. Consistency is key to avoid surface tension and trapped bubbles during pouring. Control the temperature for flawless, bubble-free resin creations.
If you're working with organic material (wood, flowers, etc.) be sure they are properly dried and sealed before including them in your project.

3. Expect the unexpected. Make sure you have all PPE and clean-up materials (gloves, respirator, paper towels, rubbing alcohol, etc.) nearby so that you aren't caught off guard if you hit any road blocks. You don't want to waste your resin work-time looking for materials.

4. Double check that the resin and hardener are exactly a 1:1 ratio by volume of resin to hardener.

5. Mix your resin smoothly, thoroughly, and consistently to avoid introducing air bubbles. Be sure to scrape the sides and bottom of your mixing vessel while stirring. This ensures that the resin and hardener are evenly blended and all material is catalyzed to cure.

6. When pouring, carefully pour down the side of the measuring cup. Pouring from high above the measuring cup can introduce unwanted air bubbles to your mixture.

7. After mixing and pouring your resin, wait for about two minutes. To eliminate any bubbles that may appear, we recommend using an artist's torch or heat gun. Hold it 6-12 inches away from the resin surface and sweep in a gentle motion. Additionally, check your piece periodically during the first couple of hours to remove any bubbles that rise to the surface.
