Introduction
Have you ever finished a resin project only to find that it remained soft, tacky, or never fully hardened? You're not alone. Curing issues are among the most frequent challenges faced by creators using epoxy resin—whether it’s for resin art, tabletop coating, or DIY jewelry.
But there’s good news: most of these problems are preventable, especially when using a high-quality product like Magnifico ONE Resin, a fast-curing epoxy resin known for delivering a crystal-clear, glossy finish every time.
In this guide, we’ll explore the top reasons your resin didn’t cure properly, how to clean it up, and how Magnifico ONE Resin helps you achieve flawless results with ease.
Common Causes of Uncured Epoxy Resin
1. Incorrect Mixing Ratio
One of the most common causes of uncured epoxy resin is an inaccurate resin-to-hardener ratio. With Magnifico ONE Resin, following the recommended 3:1 ratio by weight is crucial to proper curing.
Tip: Always measure using a digital scale for accuracy.
2. Insufficient Mixing
Even with the right ratio, your resin may not cure if not mixed thoroughly. It’s essential to mix for at least 3–5 minutes, scraping the sides and bottom of the container to ensure complete blending.
3. Cold Temperature
Epoxy resin cures best at a temperature range of 26°C to 30°C. If your working environment is too cold, the curing process slows or even stops.
Magnifico ONE Resin offers a fast cure epoxy resin solution that performs consistently in most temperature conditions.
4. Old or Expired Resin
Using resin or hardener that is past its shelf life can lead to curing failure. Always check manufacturing and expiry dates and store the product in a cool, dry place away from sunlight.
How to Clean Up Uncured Resin
If your resin remains sticky or soft, follow these steps:
Step 1: Remove the Uncured Resin
Use a scraper or putty knife to carefully remove as much of the uncured resin as possible.
Step 2: Wipe with Isopropyl Alcohol
Clean the area with 90% or higher isopropyl alcohol or acetone to remove leftover residue.
Step 3: Sand and Reapply
Once the surface is clean and dry, sand it lightly before applying a fresh coat of properly mixed epoxy resin like Magnifico ONE for the perfect finish.
