The enamel consists of 2 main parts; a resin and a hardener, the mixing ratio is 2 parts resin to 1 part hardener by weight. We recommend using scales to weigh your resin to ensure the best results.

We use UK Mail’s courier service to deliver our resin products at a cost of £8.00 (UK Mainland). This is a 2 day service operating from Monday – Friday.
Mixing the enamel:
1. Place a mixing cup on your scales then re-zero the scales.
2. Pour the amount of resin required into the mixing cup, this could be coloured resin, clear resin or a mixture to obtain a lighter shade.
3. Pour the hardener into the mixing cup, this should be 50% of the resin weight. For example, if you pour 2g of resin you will need to add 1g of hardener.
4. Stir carefully until fully mixed making sure you get into the edges of the cup. Let the enamel rest for a few minutes, this allows any bubbles caused by mixing to dissipate.
After the resin and hardener have been mixed together you will have approximately 45–60 minutes to use it. The amount of usable time will vary according to the amount of material you have mixed and the temperature of the room.
5. Apply the enamel to the surface of your pendant with either a lollipop mixing stick or cocktail stick if it’s a very small area.
6. Cover to protect from dust particles and leave to cure.
Hardening will occur overnight (16 hours) at room temperature. The room temperature should not be allowed to drop below 18o C during the curing process. You can cure the material in a curing cabinet, at 30o C to 40o C, which will accelerate the curing time and permit handling within 2–3 hours. This will also prevent dust settling on the surface.
