MGA's Miniverse Make It Mini Botanicals - MGA Entertainment - Miniverse

The MGA's Miniverse Make It Mini Botanicals kit is recommended for ages 8 and up due to small parts and the handling of resin.

No, a UV light source is not included. You will need to provide your own UV lamp (like those used for nail curing) or use direct sunlight to cure the resin.

Curing time varies depending on the strength of your UV light and the thickness of the resin application. Under a strong UV lamp, it typically cures in 5-10 minutes. In direct sunlight, it may take 20-30 minutes or more on a clear, sunny day.

The resin is single-use and hardens once cured. Most other miniature components like plant pots, produce, and soil can be reused or rearranged within your creations, but their primary purpose is for one-time assembly with the resin.

If resin comes into contact with your skin, wash the affected area immediately and thoroughly with soap and water. Avoid prolonged contact.

Absolutely! The MGA's Miniverse collections are designed to be compatible, allowing you to mix and match components from different sets to create unique and imaginative miniature scenes.

Once fully cured, your minis are quite durable. To clean them, gently wipe with a soft, dry cloth or a slightly damp cloth to remove dust. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners.

Ensure your UV light source is strong enough and you're exposing the resin for the recommended duration (e.g., 5-10 minutes under a strong UV lamp, or longer in direct sunlight). Inconsistent curing can result in a sticky surface.

This usually means the resin has not fully cured. Place the item back under UV light for an extended period. If still sticky, wipe gently with a small amount of rubbing alcohol (isopropyl alcohol) on a soft cloth.

Ensure you've applied enough resin to the contact points before curing. Press pieces together gently until the resin cures. For more complex assemblies, you might need to cure in stages.

Work on a clear, flat surface with raised edges if possible to prevent pieces from rolling away. Keep all components in their designated spots until ready for use. If a piece is lost, consider substituting with items from other Miniverse sets or crafting your own replacement.

Wipe immediately with a paper towel. For cured resin, you may need to gently scrape it off, or use rubbing alcohol to loosen it, depending on the surface material. Always work on a protected surface.
