Pdf manual making epoxy coasters
The Epoxy Coaster Making Kit contains 500 grams of epoxy resin. This comes in two bottles that need to be mixed together. The bottle (A) resin and (B) hardener. This epoxy resin is very suitable for making art such as coasters, but also jewelry or key rings.
We start by mixing the resin (A) with the hardener (B). The ratio of this epoxy is 1:1. That means that you use the same amount of resin as hardener. Calculate how much resin you think you need for the silicone mold that you are now going to fill and weigh it. Do you only have one mold? Then do not mix more resin than fits in here. The resin must harden for 24/48 hours. After this you can make the next coaster.
Weigh and mix exactly the same amount of grams of resin as hardener and add this to a silicone mixing cup. Mix for at least 3-5 minutes with e.g. a wooden mixing spatula. Also go well along the edges of the mixing cup, so that everything is well mixed. The mixed resin that we are going to use now is called the epoxy resin.
The package contains a jar of gold decorations. You can of course also use other decorations (for example glitter). Mix 1/3 of the epoxy resin or less in the first cup with (gold) decorations. You can choose how many decorations you want in your resin art coasters.
The starter pack contains two bottles of colour pigment. You can of course also buy them separately in our webshop. In this example, we keep the colours pink and white. In the second cup, we mix 1/3 of the epoxy resin with the darkest colour, in this case pink. Start by adding a small amount of pigment, so that you can always add more if you want more colour!
In the third cup we mix the remaining epoxy resin with a light color, in this case white. Again, start with a small amount and add until you have the right color.
Now we can get started. You can choose for yourself how you want to make the coaster. Always pour the epoxy resin from the outside in. In this example, pink is the dominant color, so we pour the resin with the pink pigments on the outside first. After this, we pour the epoxy resin with the white pigment color in the middle of the silicone mold. Make sure you know how you want to pour the mold, so that you can work layer by layer. This will give you the best result! 
Blow with a heat tool (or a lighter for example) over the epoxy resin that you just poured into the silicone molds to get any air bubbles out. A hair dryer is not hot enough. Let the epoxy resin dry for at least 24-48 hours. Then remove your beautiful resin art coasters from the mold.
