We remind you that the use of resin is an activity reserved for adults and that for safety measures the use of a mask is recommended.

Step 1: Prepare your mix

Prepare the mixture of your 2 components starting with doser the hardener then the resin. It takes a dose of resin for 2 doses of hardener, the latter being the lightest it is him that we will put first in the mixing cup. Stir these 2 elements well and wait 15 minutes before using them so that there are no more bubbles.

Step 2: Pour the resin

Pour your resin mixture into your silicone mold without filling it completely. Move a flame closer to the surface to burst the bubbles. Place your plastic cup with the remaining resin in the freezer to keep it.

Step 3: Position your stickers

Wait 4 or 5 hours for your resin to thicken in the mold without it being really taken. Put one by one your stickers upside down on the resin against the edge of the ruler. With a small tool press your images and make sure to cover them.

Step 4: Pour resin again

Thaw the resin set aside, it takes approximately 1 h according to the ambient temperature then pour it into the mold to reach the height of the silicone mold. It is possible that some images move a little during the catalysis of the resin do not hesitate to replace them until the total catch.

Step 5: Let it dry

Wait 2 days before unmolding your rule, if there are residues of resin on the contours due to the overflow on the mold you can cut easily as long as it is still possible the next day the rule will be even harder.
