Resin Ratios

Understanding Resin Ratios

The ratio of resin to hardener is the single most important thing to get right. Use the wrong ratio and your piece will stay sticky forever.

Ratio
1:1
Equal parts resin and hardener
  • Working time: 30 to 40 minutes
  • Cures in approximately 24 hours
  • Easy to measure and mix
Best For
Quick projectsSmall itemsBeginners
Ratio
2:1
Two parts resin, one part hardener
  • Working time: 40 to 45 minutes
  • Cures in 24 to 48 hours
  • Strong and durable finish
Best For
TabletopsWooden surfacesUp to 1 inch deep
Never Guess Your Measurements
Wrong ratio means sticky resin that never hardens, ruined moulds, and wasted materials. Always measure by volume using the cups in your kit. Do not add extra hardener to speed up curing - it will not work.

Before You Start

Safety Precautions

Four simple rules. Takes 30 seconds to read, saves you every time.

Open space only
Work near a window or outdoors. Fresh air is essential when handling resin. Never work in a closed room.
Always wear gloves
Resin is sticky and can irritate skin. Gloves are included in your Exploralearn kit - use them every time without exception.
Do not touch uncured resin
Wait the full 48 hours. Touching early leaves permanent fingerprints and completely ruins the surface finish.
Keep your area clean
Lay newspaper or a plastic sheet on your table before pouring. Resin drips are very hard to remove once cured.

How to Do Epoxy Resin Art at Home – Beginner Step-by-Step Guide

No prior experience needed. Just follow these simple steps and create your first resin art piece today.

Want to start resin art at home but not sure how? Don’t worry — this beginner-friendly guide will walk you through everything step by step. Whether you’re making resin jewellery, resin coasters, DIY resin crafts, or creative gifts, you can easily get started.

Resin art is fun, relaxing, and perfect for beginners who want to create something beautiful.

What is Epoxy Resin Art?

Epoxy resin art is a process where liquid resin is mixed with a hardener to create a glossy, strong, and clear finish. It is widely used for both creative and functional items.

Resin jewellery (earrings, pendants)
Resin coasters and trays
Resin wall art and abstract paintings
Resin mould art and crafts
Decorative items and gifts

If you’re searching for how to start resin art at home, this guide is made for you.

1
Step 1: Prepare Your Workspace

Before you begin your DIY resin art, setting up your workspace properly is very important. A clean and safe setup helps you avoid mistakes and get better results.

Work in a dust-free and well-ventilated area
Cover your table with a plastic sheet or newspaper
Keep the surface flat and level for even curing
Keep all tools ready before mixing

Always wear gloves while handling epoxy resin for safety.

2
Step 2: Resin Mixing Ratio (Most Important Step)

Getting the resin mixing ratio right is the key to success. Even a small mistake can lead to sticky or uncured resin.

Mix 3 parts resin + 1 part hardener
Example:
7.5 ml resin
2.5 ml hardener
First pour resin, then add hardener into the same cup
Avoid these common mistakes:
Do not add extra hardener to cure faster
Do not guess measurements
Wrong ratio = sticky resin or failed project

Pro Tip: Keep the room slightly warm to improve resin curing time.

3
Step 3: Mix Slowly to Avoid Bubbles

Mixing may look simple, but it plays a big role in getting a clear epoxy resin finish. Patience here will give you better results.

Mix slowly for 3–5 minutes
Scrape the sides and bottom properly
Avoid fast stirring to reduce air bubbles in resin

Small bubbles are normal — they can be removed later.

4
Step 4: Pour the Resin

Now comes the most exciting part — pouring your resin and bringing your design to life. This is where your creativity really shows.

Make sure your surface is clean and dry
Pour resin slowly over your mould or artwork
Spread evenly using a stick or flat tool

Resin is self-leveling, so it spreads smoothly on its own.

Working time: 40–50 minutes

Perfect for beginner projects like:
Resin coasters
Resin jewellery
Resin mould art
DIY resin crafts
5
Step 5: Remove Bubbles & Finish

To get a smooth, glossy, and bubble-free resin finish, you need to remove air bubbles after pouring.

Use a torch or heat gun lightly over the surface
Remove dust or hair using a toothpick
Check your artwork under light for any imperfections

Cover your piece with a box or container to protect it from dust.

6
Step 6: Let Resin Cure Properly

Resin needs time to set and harden properly. Do not rush this step if you want a strong and durable finish.

After 3–5 hours → resin becomes sticky
After 24–36 hours → touch dry
After 48 hours → ready to use
After 72 hours → fully cured

Always keep your artwork in a dust-free space while curing.

Key Tips at a Glance
01
Always measure resin and hardener by volume, not by weight. Use the cups that come with your kit.
02
A small pinch of mica or glitter powder is enough to colour your resin. Too much powder stops proper curing.
03
For thicker designs, pour in multiple thin layers with a 3 to 5 hour gap between each pour instead of one thick pour.
04
Keep the room warm at 24 to 30 degrees. Cold rooms slow down curing and can cause cloudy or sticky resin.

Troubleshooting

How to Avoid Bubbles in Resin

Bubbles are the most common beginner problem - but they are completely preventable with the right technique.

Common Causes
  • Mixing the resin too fast traps air pockets throughout
  • Working in a cold environment below 22 degrees
  • Pouring a layer thicker than one-eighth of an inch
  • Air trapped inside wood, dried flowers, or other embeds
How to Fix and Prevent Them
  • Use a torch or heat gun right after pouring - bubbles pop instantly
  • Work at 24 to 30 degrees for better resin flow and clarity
  • Pour in thin layers with a 3 to 5 hour gap between each
  • Stir slowly and scrape the sides and bottom thoroughly
Ideal Working Temperature
24 to 30°C
Pro TipFor thicker designs and deep pours, always work in multiple thin layers. This prevents heat buildup during curing, dramatically reduces bubble formation, and gives a much clearer final result.

Never change the ratio or add extra hardener to speed up curing. It will not work and will ruin your piece.
Why is my resin sticky or not curing?
+
Sticky resin is the most common beginner problem. The main causes are:
  • Incorrect mixing ratio - this is the most frequent reason
  • Not mixing long enough or thoroughly enough
  • Room temperature too low - resin needs warmth to cure properly
  • Not waiting the full 48 hours before touching or demoulding
Solution: Measure accurately, mix slowly for 3 to 5 minutes, and work in a warm room.
How long does resin take to cure?
+
Curing time for the 3:1 Exploralearn kit in a warm room:
  • 3 to 5 hours - resin enters the sticky gel stage
  • 24 hours - touch dry on the surface
  • 48 hours - ready to use and safe to demould
  • 72 hours - fully cured and maximum hardness
Keep the piece flat and level and do not disturb it while curing.
How do I remove bubbles from resin?
+
The most effective steps for bubble-free resin art:
  • Use a torch or heat gun gently right after pouring - bubbles pop immediately
  • Mix resin slowly for 3 to 5 minutes to avoid introducing air during stirring
  • Work in a warm environment at 24 to 30 degrees
  • Pour in thin layers, never more than one-eighth of an inch at once
Following these steps together will give you a clear, glass-like surface every time.
What can I make with resin as a beginner?
+
Start with small, forgiving projects that teach you the basics quickly:
  • Resin keychains - fastest to make and great for first-time practice
  • Resin coasters - beginner-friendly and very popular as gifts

Use under supervision
UV resin is easy to use, but kids should always work under adult supervision (recommended age 10+).
Avoid skin contact
Do not touch UV resin before curing. It can stick to your skin and affect the finish of your design.
