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.
