Measuring resin seems to cause a lot of confusion. Apart from getting bubbles in resin, it is one of the biggest challenges for resin crafters. I often get asked, "Should I measure resin with a scale or in cups?" The answer is always on your bottles of resin. It will say measure by volume or measure by weight. I'm going to concentrate on how to measure without a scale because most of the craft resins are measured by volume. Should you measure resin in ONE SINGLE CUP or TWO SEPARATE CUPS? That is a good question! If you've ever had a resin project that didn't set, even after days of curing, there's a good chance your measurements were off . Maybe you measured out too much resin... or maybe too much hardener. Resin doesn't cure properly if you don't get the measurements right... It can stay sticky on the surface It stays soft and bendy The resin can CURE TOO FAST and start to smoke (dangerous!!) Or it can crack as it cures Or it can cure yellowish......
