It is a massive improvement over mini tester kits (such as the 240ml or the 480ml), which require more material to play around with but still need to be affordable at the entry level.

The features enable beginners to feel at ease and have control over it, there are no sticky surfaces, no lost batches.

How to Use the 1L Starter Kit

These are the simple steps that can be followed to achieve perfect results each time:

Step 1: Prepare Your Workspace

Wireless working on a dust-free surface. Wear gloves, a silicone mat, and mixing materials. Maintain the temperature at about 20-25°C.

Step 2: Measure

Combine the volume of resin and hardener in clean measuring cups, 1:1.

Step 3: Mix

Stir slowly for 3-5 minutes. Use a scrape on the sides and bottom of your cup so that it is blended. The mix must turn transparent and without bubbles.

Step 4: Add Pigments

Add color by adding Res-iT Mica Powders or Pigments. Stir until you reach the shade that you want.

Step 5: Pour

Resin can be poured into moulds or onto surfaces. Coverage is made smooth by the self-levelling formula.

Step 6: Remove Bubbles

Briefly use a heat gun or torch over the surface, to remove trapped air.

Step 7: Cure

Allow the resin to rest in an environment free of dust, but warm. It will be touch-dry in 24-48 hours and be fully strong after 72 hours.

Tips for Best Results

• To mix warm resin bottles in colder months in lukewarm water but not hot.
• Do not pour in wet or cold places (less than 18°C).
