How to Mix PassionArt Craft Resin – 1:1 by Volume

PassionArt Craft Resin is designed for easy mixing and application.

Step 1 – Prepare Your Workspace

Work in a clean, dry, well-ventilated area. For best results, aim for a stable working temperature around 22°C, subject to the manufacturer's application instructions.

Wear appropriate protective gloves and eye protection.

Step 2 – Measure Equal Volumes

Measure one part resin to one part hardener by volume.

For example:

• 100 ml resin + 100 ml hardener = 200 ml mixed epoxy

• 250 ml resin + 250 ml hardener = 500 ml mixed epoxy

• 500 ml resin + 500 ml hardener = 1 litre mixed epoxy

Important: Do not assume the same 1:1 ratio applies by weight.

Step 3 – Mix Thoroughly

Combine both components and stir carefully, scraping the sides and bottom of your mixing container. Follow the manufacturer's specified mixing time to ensure a complete blend.

Step 4 – Add Colour or Decorations

Add compatible mica powders, resin pigments or decorative elements as required.

Avoid excessive pigment loading or moisture contamination, which can affect curing.

Step 5 – Pour Your Resin

Pour slowly into your prepared mould or onto your artwork.

For standard art applications, the stated recommended pour depth is up to 15 mm at approximately 22°C, subject to project size and the manufacturer's technical guidance.

Step 6 – Allow to Cure

Protect your project from dust, moisture and disturbance while curing.

The stated touch-dry time is approximately eight hours, with full cure quoted at up to 24 hours under specified conditions. Actual cure time varies with temperature, volume, thickness and environmental conditions.
