Mixing ICE Resin®
Step 1: To mix 1 fl. oz. of ICE Resin®, pour Part A Resin into an ICE Resin® Mixing Cup to the ½ fl. oz. (15 ml) fill line.
Step 2: Add an equal amount of Part B Hardener on top of the resin and fill to the 1 fl. oz. (30 ml) line.
Step 3: Begin mixing the two parts together using an ICE Resin® Stir Stick. Gently fold the resin and hardener into each other, making sure you scrape along the sides and bottom of the mixing cup. Continue mixing thoroughly for 2 minutes until the two parts are mixed together and the resin becomes slightly opaque. Once mixed, let rest for 5 minutes to allow any bubbles caused during mixing to dissipate.
Filling ICE Resin®
Step 1: Using the same stir stick used for mixing, begin to slowly drip resin into your bezel. Take your time and work in a controlled manner, dripping enough to fill your bezel just shy of its top. Allow to dry for approximately 8 hours before moving or handling. ICE Resin® will be fully cured in 3 days.
Doming ICE Resin®
Step 1: To create a dome or rounded bubble-like top on your bezel, it’s best to pour in stages. Pour ICE Resin® according to directions above and let dry.
Step 2: Once bezel is dry, mix a smaller batch of ICE Resin® and slowly drip into your bezel watching for the natural dome effect to occur. Once desired dome height is achieved, allow to dry for approximately 8 hours before moving or handling. ICE Resin® will be fully cured in 3 days.
I’m not working with a bezel, but rather wire to make resin flowers with a wire framework. If I can do that with this product, how should I go about it without a mold or much knowledge about resin?
At what point in process do you add pressed flowers?
How does Ice Resin work with placement of pressed flower? I have silicone molds I want to use and need to get other pieces from you for our classes.
I don’t know when to add the flower or a photo during the process. Instructions weren’t clear or I missed something. Thank you, Julie Moody
