FAQs
Is Craft Resin food safe?
Yes, Craft Resin is certified food-safe once it has fully cured, making it suitable for items like serving trays and coasters.
Can I use this resin outdoors?
While it is UV-resistant, it is intended primarily for indoor use. Direct, prolonged exposure to intense sunlight may still degrade the finish over many years.
How long do I have to work with the resin before it sets?
The working time (pot life) is typically around 40-45 minutes, depending on the ambient temperature.
Can I add pigments or glitter to this resin?
Yes, it is highly compatible with most resin-specific pigments, dyes, inks, and glitters.
What should I do if I spill resin on my skin?
Wash the area immediately with plenty of soap and water. Avoid using solvents on your skin.
Does this kit include everything I need?
The kit includes the resin and hardener, a reusable mixing stick, gloves, and an instruction manual. You may need your own measuring cups and mixing containers depending on the project size.
Troubleshooting
Resin remains tacky after 24 hours
Ensure the temperature was not too low during the cure. If it is tacky, you may need to wait an additional 12-24 hours or apply a new, properly measured thin coat once it is firm enough.
Bubbles trapped in the cured resin
Stir more slowly to avoid introducing air. Use a heat gun or torch carefully after pouring to release air bubbles before the resin begins to set.
Surface appears cloudy or wavy
This is often caused by improper mixing or extreme humidity. Always ensure you scrape the sides of the mixing vessel and work in a dry environment.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Preparation: Work in a well-ventilated room with a consistent temperature between 70℉ and 75℉ (21-24℃). Wear the included gloves to protect your skin.
Mixing: Use the provided measuring containers to maintain a perfect 1:1 ratio. Stir slowly for 3 minutes, scraping the sides and bottom of the mixing container to ensure complete activation.
Application: Pour onto your substrate. Use a flat spreader or brush to guide the resin if necessary. Avoid over-working the resin once it begins to gel.
Curing: Allow the project to cure for 24 hours in a stable environment. Keep the project flat until it has fully hardened.
Cleanup: Wipe tools clean immediately after use with a suitable resin cleaner or alcohol before the material hardens. Never dispose of liquid resin in the drain.
