FAQs
Is this kit safe for children?
This kit is intended for adult crafters; adult supervision is required if children are assisting.
How long does it take for the coasters to dry?
Resin typically requires 24 to 48 hours to fully cure depending on ambient room temperature and humidity.
Can I use these for hot tea or coffee?
It is not recommended to place boiling hot items on these coasters, as the heat may damage the resin finish.
What happens if I get resin on my clothes?
Resin is difficult to remove once cured. If it is still wet, you may be able to clean it with specialized resin cleaner or isopropyl alcohol, but test on a small area first.
Can I add my own glitter or pigments?
Yes, the kit is compatible with various crafting additives, allowing you to further customize your designs.
Troubleshooting
Bubbles trapped in the resin
Gently pass a heat gun or torch over the surface of the wet resin, or stir the mixture slowly to prevent air from getting trapped.
Resin remains sticky after the curing time
Ensure the ratio of resin to hardener was measured accurately and that the ambient temperature of the room is within the recommended range.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To begin, ensure your workspace is covered with plastic sheeting or parchment paper, as resin can bond permanently to many surfaces. It is highly recommended to wear gloves during the entire process. Once your coasters are poured, leave them undisturbed in a dust-free environment for the duration specified in the instructions to ensure a full cure. For maintenance, once fully cured, wipe the coasters with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive sponges, as these can scratch the glossy surface of the resin. Do not place hot mugs directly onto the resin coasters, as extreme heat may soften the material.
