JustResin UV Usage Instructions

People wonder how long it will take UV resin to dry. But the short answer is that it depends on the thickness of the layer and the strength of the UV light. UV resin is a great way to make strong and durable resin art pieces. Generally, thin layers will cure in seconds or minutes, while thicker layers may take up to an hour to fully cure. With a powerful UV light, the curing time will be shorter. If you want to speed up the curing process, you can use multiple thin layers rather than one thick layer. This will allow the UV light to penetrate more evenly and cure each layer more quickly. Another way is to use a higher wattage UV lamp. Since UV resin takes a relatively short period of time to dry compared to other resins such as epoxy. If you want a strong and durable jewellery piece, UV resin is your best bet!

If you use a UV torch or lamp. It will take up to 5 minutes to cure 1-2cm deep, and if you use direct sunlight, it will take up to 10 minutes. If the depth is greater than 1-2cm, curing time will be extended. The stronger the UV light source, the faster curing. If poured deeper than 5 cm, pours should be transparent. Keep tightly sealed and out of sunlight.

How Does UV Resin Compare With Epoxy Resin?

UV resin and epoxy resin have distinct differences that may influence your project's resin preference. UV resin rapidly cures under ultraviolet light. Whereas epoxy resin requires more time and is susceptible to humidity. Furthermore, UV resin typically carries a higher price tag compared to epoxy resin. Nevertheless, both resins possess unique merits. UV resin is less prone to yellowing with age. Offers convenience by eliminating concerns of quick drying. Epoxy resin, on the other hand. Is more forgiving if you make mistakes, and it can be sanded and polished more easily than UV resin. It really depends on what you need from a resin. If you want a quick-curing, long-lasting product, UV resins are best. If you are on a budget, epoxy might be the better choice.

Using UV Light

When using UV resin, it's crucial to remember that a UV light is required for proper curing. Without it, the resin will remain sticky and won't harden correctly. There are various types of UV lights suitable for curing resin. But LED UV lights are the most popular and effective choice. These lights emit strong UV rays. Which enable quick and even curing without producing excessive heat. Furthermore, LED UV lights are available in different shapes and sizes. To cater to your specific needs. They're also reasonably priced. Making them an excellent option for those starting to work with UV resin. For a top-quality curing experience, we highly recommend our UV Resin curing torch.
