Instructions

  • Safety first! Before you start working with epoxy resin, make sure that you’re wearing safety glasses and nitrile gloves, cover your workspace or use a silicone mat in case of spills, and be sure to work in a well-ventilated area.
  • Before mixing, spray your mold with Mold Release spray. Read the Amazing Clear Cast directions to be sure mixing is done properly.
  • Pour one part resin and one part hardener in the mixing cup and stir for 2 full minutes. Then pour into a second cup and use a second stick and stir again for 1 full minute or until there are no visible swirls.
  • Pour the mixed resin into the mold, but only to fill up half of the mold. Let the resin gel for about one hour.
  • Arrange the beads in the order they need to go into the resin...in this case, backwards and upside down.
  • Then place them in the gelled resin. Carefully lift up the mold and check the beads from the other side to make sure they read LUCKY in the correct way.
  • Then fill the top of the resin with sparkly green glitter. Now mix up a little more resin and fill the mold with clear resin. Then set it aside and let it dry and cure overnight.
  • The next day, pop the resin out of the mold. It looks sparkly and lucky!
  • Now it's time to assemble the lucky epoxy keychain. Use the E6000 or industrial adhesive to adhere the pendant bail on the backside of the resin and let it dry.
  • Then use jewelry pliers to open the jump ring and slide the tassel, resin and keychain hardware on, then close the jump ring.
  • That's it! Now you have a LUCKY glitter resin keychain to keep you free of pinches on St. Paddy's day...or hook on a bag as a zipper pull.
