Tips

  • Don't use too much glue; excess glue can be wiped away with a towel.
  • Test-fit your image before gluing to ensure proper sizing and placement.
  • Use a variety of pendant shapes and cord colors for a more creative look.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

1. Uneven Resin Pour

Reason: Pouring too much resin at once or not distributing it evenly can lead to bubbles and an uneven finish on your pendant.
Solution: Pour resin in thin layers, allowing each layer to cure slightly before adding the next, and gently tilt the mold to distribute the resin evenly.

2. Image Blurring or Distortion

Reason: Using low-quality images or not properly sealing them within the resin can cause blurring or distortion of Bluey and Bingo.
Solution: Use high-resolution images printed on resin-compatible paper and ensure they are completely sealed and flat within the resin mold.

3. Incompletely Cured Resin

Reason: Not allowing enough curing time before demolding can lead to sticky or fragile pendants.
Solution: Follow the resin manufacturer's instructions for curing time and avoid demolding until the resin is completely hardened.
