🛠️ Step-by-Step Process

1️⃣ Prepare Your Workspace

• Work on a clean, dust-free flat surface.

• Cover the table with silicone sheet or plastic

• Wear gloves + mask for safety

2️⃣ Measure & Mix Resin

• Use 1:1 ratio (Epoxy A + B) unless your brand specifies otherwise

• Mix slowly for 3–5 minutes

• Remove bubbles using:

  • Heat gun

  • Warm water bath

  • Letting resin rest for a few minutes

3️⃣ Add Colors & Decorations

You can customize the keychain with:

• Glitter

• Gold foil

• Flowers

• Pigments

• Shimmer

• Crushed stones

✨ Mix gently so no bubbles form.

4️⃣ Pour Resin into Mold

• Pour slowly from one corner

• Fill 50% first if you want layered designs

• Add decorations inside the mold

• Then fill the rest

Tip: Tap the mold lightly to remove trapped air bubbles.

5️⃣ Insert Name / Initials (Optional)

If making a name keychain:

• Use alphabet stickers or acrylic letters

• Place them carefully with tweezers

• You can also use vinyl-cut names

If making an initial letter keychain:

• Just fill the letter mold normally

• Add gold foil / glitter for premium look

6️⃣ Let it Cure (Dry)

• Cure time: 12–24 hours

• Keep it covered to avoid dust

• Do not move the mold while curing

7️⃣ Remove from Mold

• Gently demold after full curing

• The piece should come out shiny and clear

8️⃣ Drill a Hole

If your mold doesn’t have a built-in hole:

• Use a mini hand drill

• Make a small hole at the top

• Be gentle to avoid cracks

9️⃣ Add Hardware

Attach:

• Eye pin / Screw pin

• Jump ring

• Keyring hook

Use pliers to tighten the hardware securely.

🔟 Finishing Touch

• Sand rough edges with fine sandpaper

• Apply UV resin on top for:

  • Shine

  • Smooth finish

  • Extra durability

• Cure UV resin for 1–2 minutes
