Epoxy resin kits for beginners are specially designed packages that contain all the essential materials and tools needed to start your epoxy resin crafting journey. Take the
Bond Crafter Beginner Kit as an example: It pairs 8oz of resin (Part A, in a vibrant purple bottle) with 8oz of hardener (Part B, in a bold pink bottle) — the ratio is pre - optimized, so you never have to guess "how much is too much." Inside the box, you’ll also find:
- 2 x 30ml plastic measuring cups (clear and sturdy, perfect for precise pouring)
- 2 x pairs of gloves (thick enough to shield your skin, yet flexible for easy handling)
- 2 x wooden mixing rods (smooth - finished to reduce air bubbles during mixing)
- 1 x full - color operation manual (covers everything from mixing steps to troubleshooting, like "Why is my resin still sticky?")
The kit’s packaging is even a delight — the artistic, fluid - like patterns on the bottles make it a visual treat on your workspace. It truly lives up to the slogan: "ALL YOU NEED IN ONE KIT."
When selecting an epoxy resin kit as a beginner, focus on these key factors:
A good beginner kit should have tools that work together seamlessly. The Bond Crafter kit excels here:
- The 30ml measuring cups are perfectly sized for its 8oz resin/hardener — no leftover waste, no messy overflow.
- The wooden mixing rods are sturdy yet gentle, so they won’t scratch your cups or leave clumps of resin behind.
Pay attention to curing time and clarity:
-
Curing Time: Bond Crafter’s 24 - 48 hour cure window is ideal for beginners — enough time to adjust your project without rushing, but not so long that you lose patience.
-
Clarity: Its resin cures to a crystal - clear, glass - like finish — perfect for showcasing flowers, glitter, or any embed you add. No cloudy surprises!
Safety should never be an afterthought:
- Bond Crafter uses a low - VOC formula, so fumes are minimal (even in small spaces).
- The manual includes safety tips in plain language (e.g., "Always work in a ventilated area" — it even has Chinese translations for clarity!).
- The thick gloves included prevent skin irritation, adding an extra layer of protection.
Once you’ve got your kit, keep these in mind:
-
Measure Twice, Mix Once: Follow the manual’s 1:1 ratio (Bond Crafter’s bottles make this easy, but double - check with the cups!).
-
Bubble Busting: If bubbles form, use a toothpick or the gentle heat from a resin torch.
-
Patience Pays: Let it cure fully — rushing will ruin that glass - like finish.
With your Bond Crafter kit, start simple:
-
Flower Coasters: Press dried flowers into the resin using the measuring cups as molds. (For more in-depth tips and step-by-step instructions to elevate your creation, don’t miss our blog post titled “How to make your perfect dried flower coaster”. )
-
Mini Jewelry: The kit’s volume is perfect for small pendants or earrings — add glitter for extra sparkle.
-
Resin Art Dots: Use the mixing rods to create 3D designs on wood slices (great for gifts!).
