What is UV Resin Crafting?

UV Resin crafting is the practice of creating or replicating forms using various molds. These molds are filled with a substance called epoxy resin which is poured into molds in a liquid form. This liquid then dries and hardens to form a near-perfect replication of the negative from the mold hold.
UV Resin Crafting is an increasingly popular creative hobby. Original, aesthetic and easy to work with, it allows you to carry out many DIY projects such as customizing accessories for jewelry making, creating exquisite jewelry or home decorations.

What supplies basics are needed for UV resin projects?

First of all, we need a mold to hold the glue liquid, and then wait for a while for the glue to dry or use a UV lamp to accelerate hardening. Depending on the item you want to make, there are a variety of mold choices. Silicone molds are suitable for slightly larger items. Open Back Bezel and Pendant Cabochon Settings are suitable to make small decorations.

What is the difference between epoxy resin and UV resin ?

Epoxy resin is composed of two liquids. Mixing the two components produces a chemical reaction that the mixture can harden over time and become solid.
Comparatively, UV resin is a mixture that can harden in a shorter time by using a UV lamp. It can also harden under the heat of the sun.
If you are doing jewelry projects, UV resin is the best material for small flat projects,but if you're using silicone molds for larger 3D projects, epoxy is better.
