The Process of Epoxy
2024-09-03
Epoxy process is a technique of coating or pouring transparent resin (usually epoxy resin) on the surface of jewelry to form a smooth, transparent and glossy protective layer on the surface. Epoxy can not only protect the pattern or color on the surface of the jewelry, but also increase the beauty and three-dimensional sense of the jewelry. It is widely used in making necklace pendants, earrings, bracelets and various DIY jewelry.
Epoxy process:
1. Prepare materials:
Epoxy resin and hardener: Epoxy resin is the main material and needs to be mixed with hardener in a certain proportion.
Jewelry base: It can be jewelry made of different materials such as metal, plastic, wood, etc., and the surface can have patterns or colors.
Stirring tool: used to mix resin and hardener evenly.
Pour epoxy resin and hardener into the container in proportion, and stir slowly with a stirring tool to ensure even mixing. Try to avoid bubbles during stirring.
2. Pour epoxy/epoxy dripping:
Pour the mixed epoxy resin slowly on the surface of the jewelry, and use a dropper or stirring rod to control the amount of glue dripping to ensure that the entire surface is covered but not overflowing.
3. Remove bubbles:
When the resin is still in liquid form, evacuate the air and gently heat it with a heat gun or hair dryer to help remove surface bubbles and ensure that the final product has a smooth and bubble-free surface.
4. Curing: Place the epoxy jewelry on a stable surface and let it stand for 24 hours or more until the resin is completely hardened.
Post-processing: If necessary, the cured jewelry can be sanded or polished to make its edges smoother.
