NAPKIN RING.GET TO KNOW RESIN The mix of epoxy resin and hardener
creates a magical, hard-as-nails finish over almost any
material. Though resin is easy to use, prep is key—have your
supplies and work space ready before the first mix. Cover
the floors and worktable of a dust-free room or garage
(ideally 65°F–70°F) with heavy-duty plastic. Wear old clothes
and latex gloves, and use disposable cups and stir sticks for
easy cleanup. Have a level on hand for flat projects such as
artwork, this photo, so the resin spreads evenly. With your
space prepared, it’s time to play, starting with simple projects
like coasters and glossy artwork. A resin kit covers multiple
projects, so you’ll have enough to perfect the technique.6-13_Resin.indd 7 FINAL 2/25/20 3:20 PM
