1) Earrings and Necklace Pendants –
Quick Guide: -
Pour a thin layer of well-mixed resin-hardener solution into the mould, arrange the flowers as desired, and let the resin cure.
Cure this initial layer of resin completely by leaving it under the UV lamp for a few minutes. If not using UV resin, let it cure by leaving it aside, untouched, for 5-6 hours. This primary curing ensures that the flower arrangement is now firmly attached to the mould.
Now, pour the final layer of resin over this to fill the mould fully and let it cure completely.
Gently remove the rock-hard, crystal-clear resin earring/ pendant from the mould and attach earring hooks.
