Product Information

Full details

This Vida Rosa Epoxy Resin kit is designed for creators of all levels, from beginners to professionals, offering a straightforward way to achieve stunning, high-gloss resin art. Its primary benefit is the easy 1:1 mixing ratio and self-leveling formula that cures to a clear, bubble-free finish in 24 hours, minimizing post-project work. A potential caveat for advanced users is that the cure time might be considered fast for very large or complex pours requiring extensive manipulation.

FAQs

What is the mixing ratio for the Vida Rosa Epoxy Resin?

The resin and hardener are mixed in a simple 1:1 ratio by volume.

How long does the resin take to cure?

The resin typically cures to a hard finish in approximately 24 hours.

Can I use this resin with other pigments?

Yes, this resin is compatible with mica powder, pigment powder, alcohol ink, and resin dyes.

Is this resin suitable for food contact?

While the formula is non-toxic, it is not certified as food-safe. It is recommended for decorative and craft applications, not for direct food contact.

How should I store the resin?

Store the resin and hardener in their original containers, tightly sealed, in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.

What kind of projects can I make with this kit?

The kit is versatile and suitable for creating jewelry, tumblers, coasters, tabletops, countertops, river tables, and more.

Do I need to polish the finished piece?

No, this resin cures to a high-gloss, bubble-free finish that typically does not require polishing.

Troubleshooting

Resin remains sticky or gummy after 24 hours.

This is likely due to incorrect mixing ratio or insufficient stirring. Ensure you are measuring precisely 1:1 and stir thoroughly for the recommended time. Temperature can also affect cure time; ensure the room is within the recommended temperature range (typically 70-75°F or 21-24°C).

Excessive bubbles in the cured resin.

Gently stir to minimize introducing air. After pouring, use a heat gun or torch lightly to pop surface bubbles. Pouring in thin layers can also help reduce trapped air. Ensure you are scraping the sides and bottom of the mixing cup thoroughly.

Yellowing of the cured resin.

While this formula is designed to be clear, prolonged exposure to UV light can cause yellowing. Protect finished pieces from direct sunlight or use a UV-resistant top coat if yellowing is a concern.

Incomplete cure or soft spots.

Verify the 1:1 mixing ratio was strictly followed and that the resin was stirred sufficiently. Ensure the ambient temperature is warm enough for curing. If a project is large, partial cures can occur if the exothermic reaction generates too much heat and then cools too quickly.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup:

  1. Ensure your workspace is well-ventilated and protected with plastic sheeting or drop cloths.
  2. Wear the included gloves and eye protection.
  3. Measure equal parts of resin and hardener by volume using the graduated cups (1:1 ratio).
  4. Stir thoroughly for 3-5 minutes, scraping the sides and bottom of the cup, until no streaks remain. Avoid whipping air into the mixture.
  5. If adding colorants or fillers, mix them in during the stirring process.
  6. Pour the mixture into your prepared mold or onto your surface.

Compatibility:

  • This resin is compatible with mica powders, pigment powders, alcohol inks, resin dyes, and tints.
  • It adheres well to sealed wood, canvas, silicone molds, and various craft surfaces.
  • For larger projects like tables, ensure the surface is properly prepared and sealed.

Care:

  • Allow the resin to cure fully for 24 hours before handling or exposing to heavy use.
  • Clean uncured spills immediately with paper towels and isopropyl alcohol (if applicable).
  • Clean cured resin with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
  • Keep finished pieces out of direct sunlight for extended periods to prevent yellowing.
