Resin Ratio Explained Everything beginners need to know before mixing resin www.thecraftloftng.com What is a resin ratio? A resin ratio is the amount of resin and hardener you need to mix together. The correct ratio ensures your resin cures properly. www.thecraftloftng.com 1:1 vs 2:1 Resin Ratio 1:1 Ratio Equal parts resin and hardener. Example: 50 ml resin + 50 ml hardener. 2:1 Ratio 2 parts resin + 1 part hardener. Example: 100 ml resin + 50 ml hardener. Always use the ratio recommended by your resin manufacturer. www.thecraftloftng.com Why does the ratio matter? Using the wrong ratio can cause your resin to: Stay sticky or soft Cure unevenly Crack or become brittle Never fully harden www.thecraftloftng.com Can I add extra hardener? No! Adding more hardener won't make resin cure faster. It can actually prevent the resin from curing properly. www.thecraftloftng.com How to get it right Measure accurately using the correct ratio. Mix thoroughly, scraping the sides and bottom of the cup. Follow the mixing time recommended by the manufacturer. Pro Tip Never assume all resins have the same ratio. Even if you've used resin before, always read the label before every project. www.thecraftloftng.com Where can I get RESIN supplies?
