Epoxy resin is a synthetic material that finds use in a wide range of art and craft projects such as model building, water effects, jewelry, encapsulations, and quick repairs. Due to its transparency and hardness, this is an especially popular material for creating various effects in miniatures, wargames, and dioramas.

To create the mixture, two components are carefully mixed together. The liquid epoxy resin and hardener initiate a chemical reaction that typically takes 24 hours to complete. It is crucial to mix the components precisely to avoid any unwanted outcomes such as uncured mixes, excessively long curing times, or flexible cured pieces.

For proper mixing, the components should be stirred together thoroughly with a wooden stick or spoon. Shaking the mixture should be avoided to prevent the formation of air bubbles that will persist.

The duration during which epoxy resins can be processed after mixing is referred to as the processing time. It varies depending on the amount of epoxy resin mixed. Larger amounts will result in shorter processing times, which typically last between 20 to 60 minutes. A warm environment will accelerate the reaction, reducing working time, while a cold environment will prolong it.

Dyes for Resins can be incorporated into the mixture, as well as a variety of fillers including pigments and glitter powders among others. However, it's important to ensure that the fillers used are resistant to the high temperatures produced during curing and are compatible with this product.
