✅ Properly Mixed Resin

  • ✅ Crystal clear (unless pigments or additives were intentionally used).
  • ✅ Completely free of streaks, swirls, cloudy patches, or haziness once fully mixed.
  • ✅ Uniformly clear, glossy, and transparent throughout.

⚠️ Signs of Improper Mixing

  • Cloudy patches or milky streaks (indicating incomplete blending).
  • Visible lines or swirls in the cured resin.
  • Sticky or tacky surface areas after curing (often from incorrect ratios or incomplete mixing).

🎯 What to Look for During Mixing

When actively stirring, you'll initially see streaks or cloudy swirls. Continue mixing until all streaks vanish and the resin becomes clear and uniform.

  • Typically takes 3 minutes
  • Scrape the sides and bottom consistently.

✅ Best Practices for Proper Resin Mixing

  • Use the correct ratio of 1 part resin to 1 part hardener, which will be provided pre-measured.
  • Mix thoroughly until no visible streaks or cloudiness remain.
  • Stir for at least 3 minutes, ensuring uniform consistency.
  • Scrape the sides and bottom of the container to prevent unmixed resin.
  • Ensure the mixture is not contaminated with any unwanted substances.

This way, you’ll significantly reduce the chance of improperly mixed resin and achieve excellent, crystal-clear results.
