Ultra Clear Resin 810 and Hardener 2291 for Crafting Dishes and Jewelry

What is Ultra Clear Resin 810 and Hardener 2291 for Crafting Dishes and Jewelry?

Epoxy resin jewelry has become one of the most popular handcrafted jewelry pieces, attracting many enthusiasts. The art of working with resin and creating beautiful and diverse resin structures has gained widespread popularity, not only as a hobby but also as a source of income. Resin art is mainly used for making decorative resin items such as jewelry, dishes, and artistic panels. You might have seen these beautiful and colorful jewelry pieces and wondered how they are made.

Mandanapolymer, a knowledge-based company, specializes in manufacturing various epoxy and polyurethane resins using the latest advanced technology, ensuring top-tier quality. Epoxy Resin 810, suitable for making jewelry, dishes, and resin paintings, consists of two components: Resin 810 and Hardener 2291. These components must be mixed in a 1:2 ratio (100 grams of resin with 50 grams of hardener). Once mixed and exposed to air, the resin cures and solidifies within 24 to 48 hours. Epoxy resin is colorless but can be tinted using a variety of paste, ink, pearlescent, or metallic powders.

How to Use Ultra Clear Resin 810 and Hardener 2291 for Crafting Dishes and Jewelry?

Pre-Application Checks and Recommendations

• The tools and containers used for mixing resin and hardener must be clean and free from dust or contamination.

• It is recommended to place the resin in a 50°C environment for about 30 minutes before use.

• If the resin has hardened (typically occurring in colder seasons), gradually heat it (not exceeding 50°C) to restore its clarity and fluidity.

Application Steps

1. Preheat Resin 810 to 50°C for 30 minutes before use.

2. Ensure the resin and hardener are at a temperature between 20-30°C before mixing.

3. Maintain a mixing ratio of 50% hardener to resin (i.e., 100 grams of Resin 810 with 50 grams of Hardener 2291).

4. Stir the mixture gently and continuously for 2 minutes using a manual stirrer.

5. Let the mixture rest for 1 to 5 minutes before application.

6. The cast resin piece will dry within 24 to 48 hours.

Note: Full curing takes 7 to 10 days.

Key Tips for Quality Enhancement

• If the 810 resin and 2291 hardener are not mixed in the correct ratio, the resin will not cure properly.

• Always use a precision scale to measure the resin and hardener accurately.

• Avoid excessive stirring, which may introduce air bubbles.

• If crystallization occurs, follow the resin restoration guidelines (contact Mandanapolymer for instructions).

• Allow 48 to 72 hours for the resin to fully cure before handling.

• In colder seasons, keep the resin near a radiator for 24 hours or use a heat gun indirectly.

• Measure all components using an industrial-grade scale.

• Check material temperature with an infrared thermometer.
