Intro
Have you ever wondered why your resin is bendy? It can be a frustrating situation for newbies, but fortunately, you can do a few things to help crack the issue.
Measure Your Resin Like a Pro
Mixing resin and hardener by volume is key to a successful pour. Too much of either can ruin the chemical reaction, resulting in improperly cured creations that bend.
Make sure to check with the company who makes your resin and they will tell you exactly how much mixture is needed. Then follow those measurements carefully so that no half-mixtures or mistakes slip through!
Don't be in a hurry, let your resin dry
The reason you may have resin that bends is because it needs more time to cure. We recommend waiting 3 - 5 days after application before curves or movements of the piece, which will ensure a full hardening process and reduce chances for distortion due bending during production
It's always best practice in art projects not too much pressure gets applied when working with new materials like Art Resin!

A warm bath before using, mix resin properly for at least 5 minutes. If still thick while pouring gets glass in the warm bucket and just let sides touch it to regain warmth. Mix from all the scraps and corners.
