What are you planning to do with Vajra Resin and Hardener?
Which type of Epoxy resin hardener are you using?
Epoxy resin is a versatile material used in various projects, from art and jewelry to furniture and flooring. However, achieving the perfect resin-to-hardener ratio is crucial for a strong, bubble-free, and long-lasting finish. Our Resin Calculator simplifies the process, ensuring accurate measurements for your projects.
Why Use a Resin Calculator?
Mixing epoxy resin incorrectly can lead to sticky surfaces, improper curing, or weak results. Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced artist, a resin calculator helps you:
- Avoid guesswork in measuring resin and hardener
- Achieve a perfect mix for a smooth, even finish
- Reduce waste and save money
- Prevent resin from being too soft or brittle
Understanding Epoxy Resin Mixing Ratios
Different epoxy brands and types require specific mixing ratios. Here’s a quick guide:
- 1:1 Ratio – Equal parts resin and hardener (common in art and small projects).
- 2:1 Ratio – Two parts resin to one part hardener (used for coatings and casting).
- 3:1 or 4:1 Ratios – Typically used for industrial or marine applications.
Tips for Perfect Epoxy Mixing
To ensure your resin cures properly, follow these best practices:
1. Measure Accurately
Use a digital scale or graduated measuring cups to avoid errors. Even a small mistake in measurements can affect curing.
2. Mix Thoroughly
Stir slowly for 3–5 minutes, scraping the sides and bottom of the container to avoid unmixed resin.
3. Avoid Bubbles
Mix gently to prevent air bubbles. You can also use a heat gun or torch to remove bubbles after pouring.
4. Work at the Right Temperature
Epoxy cures best at room temperature (around 70–75°F or 21–24°C). Cold conditions can slow curing, while excessive heat may cause premature hardening.
5. Use the Right Resin Type
Choose the right epoxy resin for your project:
- Art Resin – Ideal for paintings, jewelry, and coasters
- Casting Resin – Best for deep pours like river tables
- Coating Resin – Used for countertops and tabletops
