What are some creative ideas for epoxy crafts?
Some creative ideas for epoxy crafts include making resin coasters with embedded objects like flowers or glitter, creating resin jewelry such as pendants or earrings, and making resin art by pouring layers of colored resin to create unique designs.
Can you use glaze instead of resin and hardener to make a pendant?
Glaze is typically not a suitable substitute for resin and hardener when making pendants, as it may not provide the same level of durability and clarity. Resin and hardener create a chemical reaction that results in a hard, glossy finish ideal for jewelry making. It's recommended to use resin and hardener specifically designed for crafting projects to ensure the best results.
Can resin withstand heat?
Yes, resin can withstand heat to a certain extent, but it may soften or deform at high temperatures.
How can I create wood and resin coasters?
To create wood and resin coasters, you will need to cut wood into coaster-sized shapes, sand the edges, and pour resin into molds on top of the wood. Allow the resin to cure, then remove the coasters from the molds and sand any rough edges. Optional: add designs or colors to the resin before it cures for a personalized touch.
What is difference between resin beads and acrylic beads?
Acrylic will melt while resin doesnot although it may soften. Not sure, maybe the smell is different when they burn.
How can I prevent resin from leaking out of wood?
To prevent resin from leaking out of wood, you can seal the wood with a clear finish or resin sealer. This will create a barrier that helps contain the resin within the wood. Additionally, you can also avoid exposing the wood to extreme temperatures or direct sunlight, as these conditions can cause the resin to soften and leak.

How is resin collected?
Resin is collected from trees such as pine, fir, or spruce through a process called tapping. This involves making small incisions in the tree bark to allow the resin to flow out and then collecting it in containers. The collected resin is then processed and can be used for various purposes such as making varnishes, adhesives, or perfumes.
What are the differences between epoxy and acrylic resin, and which one is better for my project?

Acrylic resin is more flexible and easier to work with, making it better for projects that require flexibility and ease of use. Choose epoxy resin for strength and durability, and acrylic resin for flexibility and ease of use.

Fiberglass resin removal from fabric?
Acetone will work fairly well to remove the polyester resin--until the resin sets. Trichloroethane (e.g., ZipStrip) will soften the cured resin, possibly enough to remove it. Always try it on an inconspicuous spot before you commit to treat the whole garment. I know of a guy who had to wear a towel home because the acetone turned his polyester trousers into what looked like snot when he soaked them.
