Tips | Detail |
---|---|
Proper ventilation | Make sure there is fresh air entering a room when working with resin. Open a window or use a fan if necessary. |
Wear disposable gloves | I prefer nitrile gloves since they are less likely to react with the resin. If you have super sensitive skin, you might consider coating your hands with a barrier cream first. |
Wear protective clothing | Resin can soak through clothing and irritate your skin. Resin drips will also not come out of clothing. |
Designate items as resin only | Silicone baking molds can make great resin molds too, but once used for resin, they should not be used for food again. The same goes for mixing containers and utensils. |
Wear a respirator | Some resins, including polyester and polyurethane, can be very dangerous. Wear a NIOSH approved respirator for fumes and make sure it fits properly. |
Wear safety goggles | If a resin requires respirator use, you need to wear safety glasses as well. You should also wear these if you are sanding the resin or using power tools. |
Clean up spills immediately | While it’s inconvenient to stop in the middle of a project to clean up a resin spill, it’s better than getting some on yourself later or having an unknowing person get it on him or herself. |
When sanding resin, wear a particle mask or respirator | For light sanding, a particle mask is probably sufficient, but if you’re using a belt sander, grinder or buffing wheel, a respirator may be more appropriate since the resin will be more aerosolized. |
Exercise care with solvents | If cleaning up a resin spill on the skin, don’t use a ketone or chlorinated based product. This will only put the resin deeper into your skin. Use only soap and water. |

Resin | A solid or liquid synthetic organic polymer used as the basis of plastics, adhesives, varnishes, or other products. | |
Hardner | A hardener is used simply to increase the resilience of the mixture once it sets. In other mixtures a hardener is used as a curing component. | |
Silicon Rubber RTV | Silicone rubber which is heat, oil and fuel-resistant is used for molding into a variety of durable parts used in automobile. There are sealants and adhesives, materials for noise, specialty lubricants, materials for vibration, harshness, automotive polishes made by silicone rubber. | |
Curing agent | Curing agent is the substance reacting with the primary film-forming matter of coatings and making it solidify to form the film. |
Resin casting is a method of plastic casting where a mold is filled with a liquid synthetic resin, which then hardens. It is primarily used for small-scale production like industrial prototypes and dentistry.
Step 1: Take wood piece make whole in it to place something inside
Step 2: Use cellotap to cover its edge, so that when mixture is poured it will stay in place.
Step 3: Mix epoxy resin and hardener in ratio of 2:1
Step 4: Mix the mixture well so that it is in proper consistency
Step 5: Take the wood piece place flower inside
Step 6: Pour the mixture in the covered part
Step 7: Place it on the balanced surface
Step 8: keep it as it is for 24 hour to dry.
We can make different jewellery parts, show piece. Different furniture parts like top of table
Wear handgloves while applying resin-hardener.
While measuring the chemical take care of the proportions.
Clear the place after use
Dont keep extra material in bowl it will harden better use it somewhere.
