What you’ll need
- 200g Eco Resin – Were using Eco Pour H2O from Apex – use code RESINFORBEGINNERS to get 15% off
- Kitchen scales – As eco pour is non toxic we just use our regular kitchen scales from Amazon and find they’re really accurate.
- 70g Water – We use a measuring jug so we know how much were using.
- Stirring stick / spoon – You’ll see in our video that we’re recycling an old baby spoon.
- Pigment – We used the JDiction Resincrete pigment for this project.
- Mixing cups – We used clean and dry yogurt pots.
- Gloves – Although all non-toxic, gloves will save your hands from getting stained with the pigment
How it’s done
- Add 200g of Eco Resin to your cup.
TIP: Go slowly as it can be messy. - Next slowly begin adding your water and mix as you go. You want to aim for a pancake mix consistency that runs freely from your spoon and is smooth but is thick.
TIP: You have around 10 minutes before your mixture really begins to set so you need to work fast. - Split your mixture in to two cups.
- You can choose to colour both or leave one side natural like we have.
- If you’d like to achieve a marble effect, add 3-4 small drops of pigment and swirl only a few times with your spoon. Don;t be tempted to mix too much of you’ll loose your pattern.
- Next – get both mixtures and pour at the same time in to your mould so they meet at the middle at the same time.
- Let your piece cure for at least 30 minutes. DON’t be tempted to touch it before the time is up.
- Slowly un-mould your tray and sand any sharp edges very lightly if needed (although it often isn’t).
