Please note* ‼
I used scales to measure the weight but this is not recommended on the Art Resin website as the resin and hardener have differing volume weights. Follow manufacturer guidelines for best results.
Because the resin and hardener have different densities, the 1:1 ratio works for volume but does NOT work when weighing . If you're measuring by weight, you need to measure 100 parts resin to 84 parts hardener. At this weight, the volume will be accurate to 50/50 and you can proceed with confidence!
Resin that doesn’t cure means that the chemical reaction couldn’t happen - this is almost always from inaccurate measuring, undermining, or not properly scraping the sides and bottom of the mixing container as you stir.
Always follow the label directions for whatever resin you’re using as they are often formulated differently, and to do a test piece before you resin your masterpiece so you know exactly what to expect. *
