Green Stuff World: Epoxy Resin Starter Kit - Crystal Clear

Epoxy Resin is a synthetic resin that can be used for many different types of art and hobby projects, such as model building, water effects, resin jewelry, encapsulations, and quick repairs.

The epoxy is created by mixing two components that are calibrated to each other. When the liquid resin is mixed with its hardener, a chemical reaction is initiated, which usually lasts 24 hours. The mixture of both components must be as precise as possible to avoid strange or undesirable behavior, such as mixtures that never cure, curing times over 24 hours, or cured pieces that can bend.

Color can be added to the resin, as well as many other things like pigments, glitter powders, and many others. The fillers must be compatible and resistant to the temperatures that occur during curing.

The components must be mixed thoroughly, so a wooden stick or spoon can be used to make the mixture. Avoid shaking during the process to prevent air bubbles from being trapped.

The working time indicates the period during which the resin can be altered after mixing and will depend on the amount of product. The larger the amount mixed, the shorter the working time, which is usually about 20-60 minutes. A warm environment will also reduce the working time and accelerate the reaction, while a cold environment will delay it.
