1. Put on gloves!

Resin and resin hardener are uncomfortable on your skin, but if you do get any on you, use rubbing alcohol (or hand sanitizer in a pinch) to get it off.

2. Prepare your space

As hard as resin is to get off your skin, it's even harder getting it off most surfaces. Lay down a silicone mat, plastic wrap, or vinyl. If none of these are available, spread multiple layers of craft paper or scratch paper.

3. Mix the resin and hardener

In a disposable plastic cup, mix equal parts epoxy resin and hardening agent (the two matching bottles).

Tips

-Be as precise as possible when you measure them out. -Stir more than you think you need to - but stir gently to minimize air bubbles.
