Indian summers can get hot, and your resin workspace can become even warmer.
For resin artists, temperature matters because it can affect how quickly your resin moves, works and cures.
So before starting your next summer project, make a few simple changes to your workspace and workflow.
How Does Summer Heat Affect Resin?
Higher temperatures can change the working behaviour of epoxy resin.
Your resin may become more fluid and your working time can feel shorter. This is why it's important to prepare your mould, colours and decorations before you mix your resin.
5 Summer Resin Tips
1. Keep Your Workspace Comfortable
Avoid direct sunlight and extremely hot working areas.
2. Prepare Everything Before Mixing
Have your:
- Mould
- Colours
- Decorations
- Mixing cups
- Sticks
- Gloves
ready before you start.
3. Mix According to the Correct Ratio
Never change the resin-to-hardener ratio because of the weather.
For example, Fusion Vitro 2:1 uses a 2:1 ratio by weight.
4. Don't Overwork Your Resin
Hot conditions can affect your working time, so plan your design before mixing.
5. Protect Your Artwork While Curing
Keep your piece covered and away from direct sunlight, dust and unnecessary heat while it cures.
Keep Creating All Summer
Summer shouldn't stop your creativity.
With the right workspace, correct mixing technique and a resin designed for Indian working conditions, you can continue creating beautiful resin art throughout the season.
