Craft Kit Specific Instructions

- Prepare the photo
- Before you prepare the resin mix, you need to get the photo you want to use for the coaster cut to the right size and shape.
- Use the included cutting stencil to trace the outer outline on the photo. Once you trace and cut it, dry fit it into the coaster and adjust as needed.
- Get ready to pour
- Once the photo is correctly sized, use a piece of the included double-sided tape to secure the photo to the bottom of the coaster.
- Make sure you are working on a level, flat surface where you can let the coaster sit still for 24h for the resin to cure. Keeping the coaster level while it cures is important to get a flat coaster.
- Pour – Photo Clear Layer
TIP: To make sure the photo lays flat, push it down on to the coaster. The double-sided tape will hold it in place.
- Then mix equal parts of resin (part A) and hardener (part B) and follow the mixing instructions. (Stir slowly to avoid creating air bubbles in the resin mix)
TIP: To pour equal parts, pour a little bit at a time and maintain the same level of resin and hardener left in the bottle.
- You will need about half of the resin and half of the hardener bottle per coaster. Once well mixed, pour on top of the photo in the coaster.
TIP: Make sure the mold is overfilled. Fill right to the brim and keep pouring in slowly until it almost looks like it’s going to spill over the edges. This will give you best results as the resin will shrink slightly on curing.
Finishing Touches
- Wait at least 3-4 days before using the coaster, as the resin can still be made to soften with a warm mug placed on it during this time.
- Share your photos on social media and tag us (@plbfun) we’d love to see your creation.
