The resin technique pours a liquid that hardens in a mold, sometimes with flowers, pigments or glitter. See [resin as a material](https://www.711grados.com/en/resin/).

![Steps of the technique: Prepare the mold, Measure, Mix, Pour, Remove bubbles, Cure and demold](https://www.711grados.com/media/diagrams/resina-tecnica-steps.en.svg "Summary of the steps")

## Step by step

1. Prepare a clean, dry silicone mold.
2. Measure and mix resin and hardener in the maker's proportions; stir slowly.
3. Add pigment or inclusions and pour.
4. Remove bubbles with gentle heat.
5. Let it cure, demold, sand and polish.

## Common failures

Bubbles, sticky surfaces from a badly measured mix and yellowing from sunlight.

## Safety

Nitrile gloves, ventilation and glasses; uncured resin irritates the skin.

## Mounting

Rings or metal bases are added to turn it into a pendant or earring.

## Step by step

1. **Prepare the mold.** Clean, dry and silicone.
2. **Measure.** Resin and hardener in the exact proportion.
3. **Mix.** Slowly, 2-3 minutes.
4. **Pour.** With pigment or inclusions.
5. **Remove bubbles.** With gentle heat.
6. **Cure and demold.** Sand and polish.
