Q1:Why UV resin has been illuminated under UV light for a few minutes or even a few hours, still sticky, not curing?
Several possible reasons for this:
1. Wrong molds. Molds that are large, deep or opaque are for epoxy resin crafts making, not for UV resin.
2. Wrong pigments. Not all pigments work with UV resin. Alcohol inks and opaque pigments are not recommended. If you need to use darker colors for your art, mix well and cure in layers.
3. Too much adding. Adding too much pigments, glitters, mica powder or other fillings, will lead to a light impenetrable mixture that hard to be cured.
4. Insufficient UV exposure. Please make sure both the upper and bottom side of your silicone mold get enough UV exposure. This means that after you cure the top, you have to cure the bottom, too. Cool down for about 5-7 minutes before next time curing is recommended.
Q2: Why does UV resin have bubbles and how to get rid of them?
The height of the pouring is too high, the mixing speed is too fast, low temperature increases the viscosity of UV resin, and
other factors will lead to bubbles. Here are some tools may help: Resin Bubble Remover, Heat Gun, Dropper, Toothpick.
Q3: Why is the color of the extruded UV resin uneven?
Leaving for a long time may cause pigmentation in the UV resin.
If that happens, shaking for a few minutes before use can help.
However, it is worth noting that this operation may cause bubbles, so please let it stand for a while to defoam before using. Or use the defoaming tools mentioned above.
Q4: How to clean the UV resin from hands?
Special resin cleaner will help.
If you don't have it, please try:
1. Wipe off with paper towels immediately, rub with detergent, and rinse.
2. Wipe off with paper towels immediately, rub with medicinal alcohol or edible white vinegar, and rinse.
3. Wipe off with paper towels immediately, rub with cleansing oil, and rinse.
4. Wipe off with paper towels immediately, rub with flour or loose powder, and rinse.
