FAQs
Is this kit suitable for children?
This kit is designed for adults or supervised teenagers, as working with resin involves chemicals that require careful handling.
How long does the resin take to cure?
Curing times vary based on ambient room temperature and humidity, but typically require 24 hours to set fully.
Can I add my own decorations?
Yes, you can include your own lightweight, dry items such as glitter or thin paper, but avoid placing damp or organic items that might rot inside the resin.
Is the finished tray food safe?
No, the resin used in this kit is not certified food-safe and should not be used for serving or storing edible items.
What is the best way to clean the mould?
Once the resin is removed, wipe the mould with a dry cloth; if residue remains, a small amount of mild soap and water can be used before drying completely.
Troubleshooting
Resin remains sticky after the curing time
This is usually caused by incorrect mixing ratios. Ensure the two-part resin is measured exactly as specified and stirred thoroughly for the full duration recommended.
Air bubbles in the finished tray
Mix the resin slowly to avoid introducing air, and after pouring, carefully pass a heat gun or torch lightly over the surface to pop bubbles.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To begin, ensure you are working in a well-ventilated area protected by a craft mat or newspaper. Follow the mixing ratio provided in the kit instructions precisely, as incorrect measurements will result in a sticky or soft final product. Once your tray is poured, cover it to prevent dust or debris from landing on the surface while it cures. For maintenance, clean your finished tray with a soft, damp cloth; avoid harsh chemical cleaners or abrasive sponges that could scratch the resin finish. The tray is intended for indoor decorative and organizational use only and should not be used as a food-safe surface.
