- WHY IS MY RESIN NOT CURING ???
Correctly mixing your resin is vital for a full cure; a full cure should be rock hard, smooth, not sticky and not bendy. Often beginners get this step wrong and ruin their project. I get lots of questions on what is the best method to prepare and mix resin, watch this tutorial to learn how!
If you have any questions, please leave me a comment under this video or send me an email at edna@wargon.net
Enjoy the tutorial and happy arting ❤

Thank you so much for this video! I messed up my mom's coaster because I didn't mix for the full 3 mins or wait long enough! Felt like an idiot. This is a life saver🤟🏾
That's why I'm here, to help, have a great day Zombie :)
Thank you for this video! I did my first pour last weekend and it came out all bendy! This helped me for next time.
Hi. Caroline 🥰 so happy my tutorial helped. There's nothing worse than bendy resin, it feels like such a waste 💜
Just did mine yesterday and turned out the same 😂🤣
I did a 1:1 about 2 weeks ago, 24h later was bendy, but not sticky. 2 weeks later(today), still bendy. I think my digital scale wasnt working properly, but its odd tho cause its brand new. I did only 10ml of each...but where the whole thing that felt weird to me was the pour of 10ml. A was a little long to pour as the scale didnt even sense the fluid til nearly the bottom of the cup was full. But when I tared off to 0 it out and pour in B, as soon as the first drop hit part A, it instantly registered. Was beginning to think that the measurements were wrong and probably was a 1:0.8 ratio or something along that line, but just went with it. But the thing is, I am not even sure if its supposed to turn completely solid or not as the starter kit I got is from overseas. Only got it as a means to experiment as it was cheap. The instructions were not in english and had to use a translator...but even that didnt help me. I am gonna try using a different cup, probably one that is heavier than the one that came in the kit to see if it makes a difference when pouring the parts.
I think you make a good point, I use really accurate scales do even as little as 10ml gets correctly weighed. Also I check the batteries often, test them out and make sure they have enough power. I rarely weigh out that little but your scales matter. 👍
The top half of my figurine came out great, the bottom inch not so much nor any small item I poured after. I think I didn't mix well enough but I'm going to try again.
Wow it really helped me thank you!! I always thought that I geven to mix it very slow for the bubbles
Your voice is so calming. I could literally watch your videos all day long! Great video, super helpful!
Thanks Afra, lovely compliment, welcome to my channel 💞
I have found aggressive mixing is one key aspect often passed by as it's a pain.
Hi Edna ! Thank you for this video. I’ve been working with resin for about 10 months now and I never had a piece that didn’t cure until this month. I am measuring/mixing well but there are some days when my resin isn’t curing. Usually it’s small sticky parts. It’s winter and temperatures have fallen but I am controlling the temperatures with the help of heaters. What do you suggest I do ?
HI, most likely reason if there are spots of sticky resin is that you haven't mixed properly even though you thought you did, there are areas that are not mixed well and they cannot cure. Try mixing for 3 minutes then transfer into a clean cup and use a fresh stir stick and mix for another minute. that may help.
Hi, I use a 1:1 ratio resin and when doing thinner pours (like bookmarks) they always come out bendy. I measure out each part with a digital scale and use ounces for my measurement unit. I also stir for about 5 minutes minimum, sometimes 6. I don’t know why my pieces still come out bendy. Even when I don’t add any mica or resin tints :( But if I use the same mixture on thicker pieces (like some of my keychain molds) they harden all the way. Sometimes I mix too much when doing other projects and pour the excess into bookmarks or earring molds so as not to waste resin, but for whatever reason, those pieces come out bendy while the original intended projects harden.
This is perfectly normal for any brand of resin, resin needs to have e a certain thickness to become rock hard, but for books marks I don't think its a problem as I think they should be bendable for books, so I wouldn't worry about this :)
your comment saved me! My one hairclip was a bit bendy even though the rest of the batch was fine and knowing its normal makes me feel better about using it :) I think it was more bendy as it had less inclusions added
Ok I will try again. I thought I have mixed it well enough in that 3 minutes.
Can you do a video on how to get rid of all bubbles when making transparent coasters? X😭
Il add it to my list 🥰
The funny thing is, if I watch this with my daughter I know she’ll want to know how to make the one you don’t like, I think it looks amazing, and my daughter would probably use it for fiddling with, bending away at it, probably trying to break it.
I love the lumps and different textures.
Then again, I will be using the proper technic because I didn’t come here to learn how to make bendy resin!! 😂
😄😍 Such a cute comment, thanks Liz, well if you want bendy resin you know how but hopefully my tips will help you achieve a nice solid cure, have a lovely day ❤️
Very informative, really helpful. I was struggling with mixing, I'll try it out and let you know how I did.
Hi, definitely let me know how it goes for you 🤞🙂
Hi! Thank you for this tutorial I'm new to doing things with resin and this tutorial is very helpful, I have a question after mixing for 3 minutes do you start to mix in the color or glitter or do you have to wait before adding anything?
As shown in this tutorial, mix the resin first for 3 minutes, then divide the resin into separate cups and mix in your pigments, then pour.
My house temperature is quite cold at this time of year, foes that make a difference? My Pebeo Gedeo Crystal resin has dried bendy.
The temperature can definitely affect the curing of resin, but wait a few days to see if it cures hard, it might take longer in the cold. Hope this helps 🥰
Ok thats funny my alexa was set when you asked yours for 3 minute timer.. when mine went off scared me.. lol thanks for your time the video was very informative..💙💜💙
😅😅😅 I was actually hoping that wouldn't happen but I guess it depends where people have their alexas, how funny 😅 glad you found it helpful
Omg my Alexa just set a timer for 3 minutes uses. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
hey! is it the same deal with UV resin? because when i used epoxy resin i never had any issues but when i just recently began to try out UV resin, it comes out bendy and tacky-like.
Oh no, not at all, UV resin doesn't cure as hard as epoxy resin
Thankkkk you for this video! It really helps .. 1st time & all of my items came out bendy
My pleasure 😊
Do you warm up your resin first ? With heat gum or in bottle with warm water ?
Great ❓ if you're in a colder climate or if your resin is in your garage and it's cold and the resin crystallizes then yes do do a water bath first before mixing. My studio is really warm all year long so I never have to but do not worry if your resin crystallizes, it's very normal in colder climates just put it in a water bath for about 5 minutes until it becomes liquid again and then mix. Hope this answers your question 🥰🥰🥰
I can't seem to find a heat gum on Amazon. Where do I get one?
@@explorster just about any hardware/home improvement store, they can be 25-100 dollars. The 25$ ones will work just fine for resin
Heyyy I heard that some people said if u put 100g of resin u should put 50g of hardener so it that wrong they said if u put resin u should put half hardener
If you use a 2:1 resin that's correct. I used a 1:1 ratio resin so equal amounts of both in this case.
Hi! Quick question. (I’m a beginner). I mixed resin and hardener together and I poured it into the silicon molds. Half of them came out hard and half are bendy from the same pour. What did I do wrong? Thanks :)
Hi. Did you do a thick pour in depth for both?
@@EdnaWargon they were all the same! i'm so confused! I can try again.
@@sarahannestewart832 give it some before calling it a failing, sometimes it takes longer to cure then you think. 🥰
Hi I would love to know what precision you did not do well in the process I do want it flexible in this way or even more flexible. Thank you very much. I would love for you to help me 🙏🏻💛
I have used same measuremnt to make a coaster and kechain , keychain demolded very smoothly and rock hard but coaster is still bendy and not curing🥹, what i can do to make it cure sholud i leave it for 3 days
I would leave it for a week to see if it cures hard.
I had sticky resin on some rocks I was trying to coat, I left them alone for months in a container checked them and they were finally cured.
Sometimes, the brand of resin makes a big difference to the curing time.
I just had a problem with the resin moving away from spots on the glass. It dried so bumpy I had to throw it away. Also my keychaind did not cure at all. overnight.
I was wondering if the temperature in my craft room is to cold would that effect the resin
Yes definitely, resin doesn't like cold.
Hello mam... Mam why it's happened to me today .. That first time I'm using epoxy resin or hardner, when i mix it so it's become milky i mix it 30 mins but it's not become crystal clear ....What is my mistake did you tell me.. Can i put resin or hardner bottle into warm water before use.? ..please tell me mam
It depends on the brand of resin you use but if its milky in the bottle wall the bottle up first before mixing.
Hy mine is 3:1 ratio resin my bookmark is bendy and keychains are absolutely perfect what should i do for bookmarks?
molds that are thin will be bendable no matter what resin you use, so for bookmarks they should be bendy like real paper bookmarks.
Thank you so much! As I continue to practice
👍💛💛💛
Got bad advice watching other videos which said to stir and mix SLOWLY to avoid bubbles .... which I did and after 72 hrs on a 13 in by 17 inch pour, sticky in spots ... so I'm guessing the mix should have been more aggressive like you did .. any suggests on how to fix? .... do i scrape and and sand and start over or can I do a new pour over the old one? Thanks.
Without seeing it myself, I would just start again.you risk wasting resin if you just pour over it. It happens to us all. 🙂
If i use 1:1 ratio that means in any of my resin the mixture of the chemical must be equal?
Yes
In the shop that i bought my resin, it says the ratio of the mixture is 2:1, or its better to make the ratio 1:1?? Thank you
Hi Shena, if you bought a 2:1 resin you MUST use that ratio!
Hi,Can you Tell me how can I dry Resin,should I have to wait natural form,I don't now the way or the temperatur degre,or the method. Thank you for the tutorial 🥰
Yes you do, let it dry naturally overnight and up to 3 weeks for a full cure.
yes that's exactly what my coasters looked like, with holes and pliable
Thanks for your tips
Okay, I struggle with *listening and concentrating* but I love this so much , I’m keeping a book log of my mistakes and improvements ect. I am open to learning , I have a question❤️ I made bendy uncured resin last night and I’ve heard it’s toxic. I also heard it might harden over time, does that then make it safe? What happens if I gift someone bendy resin? Toxic to touch? Should I bin the bookmark I made lastnight or should I keep it? It won’t harm me will it?! I overthink and don’t want to harm myself for keeping failed resin🤣 sorry I blab on x
Bookmarks are thin so they will stay slightly bendy even once cured. Thickest castings cure rock hard, but none will be toxic.
I think it's the wet resin that's toxic from what I heard
Can we use a hair dryer as to heat the resin to blow out the bubbles or no?
For me that's a definite no, blowdrys are too strong and your resin will blow everywhere.
So glad I found your video. I did a piece and it seems I didn’t mix properly even though I mixed toe nearly 4 minutes. I figured I would go a bit further than 3 min. The piece feels gummy after 48hrs. What can I do to help it harden or is my art piece trash now? I hope not i worked so hard on this piece.
Hi, it depends on the type of resin you use so I can only show you how to correctly mix it. But if you mixed correctly, just wait a couple of days for it to fully cure then see if its still gummy.
How to fix that bendy resin???
you can't 😭
Yes, Valencias is correct, let it sit in a warm place for a few weeks, if its still bendy you need to follow my tutorial to make sure it doesnt happen again
I’ve been told that one weighs more than the other and to measure and NOT weigh it?? So which is correct
Hi monica. That is true depending on the brand of resin. You can use both, the weight method or by volume. I like the accuracy of weight because in europe we weigh everything out, even for baking. 🥰
Omw i love doing art and craft also working with epoxy resins as beginers
Happy you found my channel Shaista 🥰
Plz reply must yesterday I make my keychain but this isn't cure this is soft totly not cure plzz tell me how can I recover
Put it in a warm room for a few days
Hi! Thanks for the tutorial :))
Is there any way to save materials from not cured properly piece?
Unfortunately not, I wish there was 😉😊
During the summer I never had this problem and recently it’s been getting bendy and I have to throw them away, any advice?:(
During the summer, the extra heat cures the resin much faster, I work indoors so its warm all year round but in winter when its cold and damp outside the resin might take longer to cure. just the chemical reaction to resin , it likes warmth 🥰
But before you throw them away wait an extra week or so, provided you followed my advice in this tutorial and measured and mixed correctly, it will eventually cure.
@@EdnaWargon i figured it out!! So my room is always cold and my parents build a restroom here in my room so it more colder and I kept them in a warmer place and now they’re not bendy!! But your video is great and also I made sure to mix around 3 minutes:)
@@lupitasanchez5630 oh great, so glad you didn't throw them out! Glad my advice helped, happy holidays Lupita 😊
I used 3:1 ratio resin ..after 24 hours my coaster very soft ..wht to do ..
Wait a week, see if they are cured then
I used alcohol ink in mine. It hardend and was not sticky. However when doing the wine glass holder that holds glasses as well it started bending after a couple hours. Is there something that can make it harder so it won't bend?
If the casting is too thin, it will bend, especially in hot weather, its best to make thicker castings when using resin.
If you mix and pour outside do you need to wear a mask if so would a disposable one work?
If you're outside, with the right resin, no, you can wear disponible mask outside, inside wear a filter mask from the hardwear store, they're not expensive and can ba reused. I have a pack of 3 in my studio. Its useful for sanding too 😉
We should add b more or a more?
No, follow the instructions of your brand...
I used 3:1 and mixed the resin for 15 min. And kept aside for 45 min. Still my resin has not cured. It has been more than 48 hrs
I used craft resin brand, it depends oh the brand and quality.
Which means Resin A 50 grams and harder B is 50 grams? Any idea of 2:1ratio
Yes, for 2:1 it would be 100g A and half so 50g B
@@EdnaWargon can we refill when it's bend?
Such a informative video. But can you please help me as I am new in this . I tried comb and mirror but it's not setting hard ever. After mixing for 3 min and giving proper time to cure. I am too sad for this. Please can you help
Hi. as in the tutorial i used Craft Resin. I cannot comment on a brand i haven’t used 😉
Thank you for the video. Where did you get those 3D flowers on the coasters at the end of the video? Very pretty
Hi Edna...I'm new to resin craft resin never ever used it before I no all about ppe and respirator...but when I'm not useing it and its just sat on shelf ...what temperature should my room stay at so it dosent upset the balance of the resin when I next use it ...by the way I don't have any heating in the room I use and I've bought a thermometer to keep an eye on room temp ...I live in uk live x
HI, it depends on the brand of resin you are using, but a steady room temperature of around 21°c is optimal for both storage and curing
Hi, so a quick question...
I am a beginner and the bottle I brought says the rasin has to be in the 2:1 ratio....
So does that cause the bendy coster...
No, its the way you mix and how long. As part my demonstration
How much time it gets to dry ?
This resin i used takes only 24 hours
I really need help. The resin I poured is still completely flat and not sticky, but its a little soft and not rock hard… although it is a thin layer I was wondering if I should risk pouring properly rationed resin on top or if I should scrap the whole thing and start from scratch? (I have encapsulated memorable flowers in the resin) please help me 😭
When did you pour? You may need to wait for a full cure, this can take up to 3 weeks
It might be the stirring time that is messing me up, but I dont measure by weight, I measure by volume, ex. 10 mL of A and B, is that alright?
Yup if you can measure this brand by volume
How to make soft each RESIN &Hardner if not used and kept long time in almiraha???
Thankss
Hi i use 2:1 resin. Can you tell me please how i Measure each silicone molds?
No as it depends on the shape, depth and width of your particular coaster. I did another tutorial on how to measure resin.
Hi dear.. I'm new at resin art.. I made a coaster and a book mark but half of the mold is cured and half is not.. I don't know what have I done wrong.. I mixed it correctly because if I hadn't then the half should also not cured.. but I don't know what happened.. it's 4 days now but still no improvement.. should I throw it in the bin?? Will it effects my mold??
I used craft resin in this example, it depends on your resin brand.
@@EdnaWargon dear I'm using art resin too
@allforkids4533 hi, no CRAFT RESIN not ART Resin. Art resin is not good for this type of molds.
@@EdnaWargon ohh I'm sorry I thought they are the same..
Hi, thank you for this video
Although I’ve been told to always make sure after mixing you put it in another measuring cup & mix again to make sure the sides & bottom are completely mixed. Is this useful advice or an extra step not needed?
I use this method every time & sometimes it’s perfect sometimes it’s bendy & sometimes it’s completely not cured So completely tacky and sticky
I've heard this too but I find it easier to use one cup and mix properly, personally Ive never had any problems if you scrape the sides and bottom as demonstrated, that part is important.
@@EdnaWargon since watching this video I’ve not had a failed project it helped so much thank you so much!
Hiya I made a pen out of resin but one side came out flat and the other side round could you tell me how I can fix this or is it just the mold I use, also I have done the ratios properly but everything just seems to come out sticky and soft I have made a bangle and ring and they have come out sticky and bendy I have waited over 24 hours before removing from the molds.
Its the mold. Rounded castings are hard to make with resin molds.
Hi I made a incense holder and took it out the mould because it looked ready but then realised it was bendy when I took it out the mould. Is there a way I can make it harder now that's it's already out of the mould
Leave it a couple of days on a flat surface to fully cure then see if its still been bendy.
I have a question! I just started working with resin and so far some of the pieces that I have done I have let cure for 2 to 3 days but if I have them set up against something or something up against the resin it starts to warp. what could be the issue?
Simply, resin dries to the shape you set it, as its starts of liquid and dries hard whatever you put next to it or underneath it could warp it. You need a FLAT, even surface and level it out with a level so you don't get one side higher than the other.
@@EdnaWargon it warped after laying flat for a few days... for example: I made a resin chopping board and laid it flat inside the mold for two days and then took it out of the mold and laid it flat for another three days. After about a week I put it in the packaging for the Christmas basket I was selling and it warped a little after sitting in the box a few days.... would that be the same issue or something else?
@@erickacorbett9646 No the same issue, it was not completely cured yet, it can take up to 21 days depending on the brand, so it more than likely kept moving and cured bent. Its happened to me too, if I put it on an even surface without realizing, after a week its not flat underneath. This can happen with small pieces and larger ones too.
Hi! Does the mica pigment powder amount affect the resin outcome? I added a bit of mica too a small amount of resin (around 20ml) and it wouldn’t set. Xxx
Yes, you can only use a small amount at a time, dont put too much or it will not cure :)
I have ran into a problem with my mixing cups from the same package but doesn't measure out right, do you pour into one cup? Would that help?
Hi Alistair all the information is shown in this video tutorial so the answer to your question is yes as you can see from this video example I used one cup👍😘
Mine feels hard and doesnt when I try to bend it but if I leave it on an uneven surface for to long it bends.. How do I fix that? Or is that normal?
Most resins harden after 24 hours then fully cure 21 days later, after this time if you mixed correctly it will no longer bend, unless, you leave it under the sun by a window, then the heat will cause the resin to re bend like most plastics. Hope this helps 🙂
Some say 5 minutes. What is highly recommended?
what resin is the best to use
Craft resin
I did the 3 min stirring still turned out like rubber.not sticky, hard on flat surface. maybe added too many drops of color, so might have been why its softer. I'm just starting on this. beginner level, I did stir like suggested. guess more practice
Hi. It also depends on the brand of resin you use. In this tutorial i used Craft Resin brand.
If you were doing 1:2 ratio you’d take 1, divide by two and then take the first number and do half of that. What???
You’d do one part A and TWO parts B, right?
Exactly 🙂 part A is usually the resin so that would be 100g for example then part B is the hardener so 50g.
🙂
I got my resin at Walmart it says stir 6minutes.. and I started with 2 cups and then it said pour one in another then pour into another cup ...but it just poured it into my mold.
My question is if you mix it wrong will resin eventually dry??
Usually, no sorry but the best way is to mix it correctly from the start. Next time you'll be good 😍
Is it ok to mix it aggressively ? don’t it make bubbles
Obviously its better to mix it slowly but make sure its mixed well.
I just did a resin pour of coasters. They are beautiful, but bendy. I use 50/50 on And B. The only thing I did not do is stir 3 minutes.
Ahhhhh, how long did you mix for?
@@EdnaWargon maybe 2 minutes. But I picked them up this morning and they were totally solid. May be I just needed to let them cure longer. I took them out within 12 hours.
I use the same resin all the time. But sometimes it's cured and sometimes it's not. I don't understand the reason because I do the same thing. Maybe it's a pigment or sparkles which can affect the result...
It depends on the brand of resin you use.
Hi. I still don't understand the 1:1 ratio never did at school. So for example if I'm doing 20ml of resin then I have to do 20ml hardener? Cos mine just seems rubbery
1:1 means 50/50 so equal amounts
@@EdnaWargon right ok cheers. I'll give it a go. Thanku
They're still not turning out right. I've mixed them for 4mins at least as I set my timer on my phone. And I've had my heating on all night and morning at 25* and still quite bendy. When measuring them I done 20ml of hardener and 20ml of resin. I really want 2 do them right, they feel hard 2 tap but then they bend a little
@@karenalsela6011 are you using Craft Resin brand?
@@karenalsela6011 also you need to wait 24hours for initial cure then a few days longer for a hard cure
My uv resin rings are bendy but not sticky, is there a way to make it hard? Or are they in their final form already?
UV resin in my experience never goes as hard as epoxy.
One of my colors cured perfectly but the other 1 is sticky and I don't know why it's the same art piece. Mixed both the same.
What material did you use as colour ?
hey i bought a resin of 3:1 should i use...can i use 1:1 ratio instead
NO, you must follow the instructions!
How long to fully cure.
Normally a month
I made resin and decided the same mix in 3 different cups
One with more sparkles harden with no problems
But the one with powder and less sparkles are all sticky and they came from the same batch
Why did one cure and the other didn't?
How much power did you put and was it mica powder?
I did my very first pour yesterday and it is sticky and still kinda runny but i know i added a and b and equal parts bc three of my fam members sat and watched me so what actually caused it?????
It could be lots of reasons, what resin did you use?
Hi. If I put 2 of catalyst and 1 of resin, it looks like its starting to cure very slowly...Is there any way it can cure or is it a lost batch?
Hi. What resin do you use?
Hii ,,,,am mixing perfectly but he doesn't work
Don't use cheap resin....
Pls, i amnasking aserious question, does sticky, bendy resin/epoxy release fumes, or is it toxic?
Ask the manufacturer of your brand of resin, they will know.
@@EdnaWargon ahhhh, ty
You don't use a scale when measuring by volume.
If you can, use measuring cups but in france we use scales, you can decrease part B by about 10% as is heavier than part A.
Plzzzzz I need a solution without watching the whole video I put more of resin and harder and there's some mixture leftout where should I store it coz I saw the video after I pour it and u said don't leave it in the cup plzzzzzz tell me
If you watch you will learn 😘 you can't store resin for later.
Do I need to keep it under the sun ? Or I can leave in inside for 24hours ?
This is not UV resin, this is EPOXY it dries Inside.
I really don't understand what I could be doing wrong. I mixed my mixture one to one ratio within the suggested time. I poured it into different molds. After about 24 hours half of the molds were perfectly hard not sticky at all but the other half were very bendy yet not sticky at all. So I'm not sure if it's the mold itself that's not letting it cure right. I'm not adding any over extreme materials to the resin. Is there any way to fix bendy resin that are not sticky?
Hi Li Li, its difficult to judge without knowing how you mixed and what pigments you used but if one of them is cured the other should be the same so wait a week to see if its hardened yet :)
@@EdnaWargon thank you 💛🌻 I will be patient and wait lol 😂
if I put my resin piece in the sunlight will it cured early?
Yes
Thank you 💖💖💖 It did work🥺🥺💖💖
Thanks for this video
I'm starting out for the first time and I'll like to know if this measurement is only for coasters?
The process is the same for any amount of volume that you will need 🥰
How long is it take a coaster to dry?
Up to 3 weeks
Why all and each of my coasters are as hard as a rock But the trays bends in the middle after I apply legs to them knowing that I used the same resin mix ...
Did you wait the full cure before applying the legs?
@@EdnaWargon it is now as hard as a rock. I think it just needed more time to cure. I placed a heavy object in the back of the tray to make it straight. Thank You for your reply :)
I dont know how to order form of the usa

Thank yu souch Iknow now what I did wrong
Is bendy resin still toxic because it's not fully cured in a way?
That's a great question, one to ask the manufacturer of your particular resin, let me know what they respond 😍

@@EdnaWargon which method should I use please suggest !!
Can this use for earring?
I think so
What if Have a 2:1 ratio epoxy resin but using the 1:1.
Dont! You must follow the ratio by manufacturer of resin, if not, disaster 😁
Ok so I've been using uv resin i know its different type of resin but I may of put to much ink and its water down im testing it now but I don't know if it will work
I don't like using uv resin for deeper pours, it doesn't cure hard. I recommend Epoxy Resin only 👍
@@EdnaWargon it depends on the type there is light cure and hard cure
@@tylerkister4628 if it works, let me know 😘
@@EdnaWargon will do when I looked at them earlier it was like half cured but still not enough so I'm hoping 10 more hour's should do it
