Pot Life and Curing Time of Epoxy Resin

Curing process is a very important step in working with epoxy resin. In this video you’ll learn how long it takes for resin to cure, and what the pot life and curing times of resin are. 0:00 - Introduction 0:14 - What is Pot Life? 0:34 - Pot Life in Different Types of Resin 0:54 - Curing Time: Hardcore and Full Cure 1:05 - Curing Time of Deep Pour 1:16 - Curing Time of Arts & Crafts 1:26 - Factors Affecting Pot Life 1:53 - Enjoy Craft Resin! 💡 Pot life is the amount of time you have to work with the resin after mixing it with the hardener. Once the two components are combined, the time is limited. The resin stays in liquid form for a while, giving you time to work with it. As the pot life ends, the resin thickens and becomes harder to manipulate. For Craft Resin products, the pot life varies for different types: 🔹 Deep Pour Resin has a pot life of 90 minutes, giving you plenty of time to work on larger projects that require deeper pours. 🔹 Art and Craft Resin has a shorter pot life of around 35 to 40 minutes, making it perfect for smaller, detailed projects where faster work is required. ⏳ Curing time is the time it takes for the resin to fully harden. It's important to understand both the hard cure and full cure times, as they differ for various resin types: 🔹 Deep Pour Resin requires 48 hours for the hard cure (this means you can remove the resin from the mold), and 72 hours for the full cure (when the resin reaches its final hardness and durability). 🔹Art and Craft Resin takes 24 hours for the hard cure (allowing you to demold your project) and 72 hours for the full cure. Factors that can affect both pot life and curing time: 🌡 Temperature: Warm temperatures can speed up curing time but may shorten the pot life. In cooler environments, the curing process slows down, giving you more time to work. 💧Humidity: High humidity may slightly extend curing time, so it's recommended to work in a controlled environment for the best results. 📏 Pour Thickness: The thicker the layer, the longer it takes to cure. Understanding the pot life and curing times for Craft Resin will help you extend the process of creating and give you more time to work on your epoxy projects! 🔗 Shop our epoxy resin products: Brand store US: https://www.craft-resin.com Brand store UK: https://craft-resin.co.uk Brand store EU: https://www.craft-resin.eu Follow us on Instagram for inspiration:   / craft.resin   Video created by:   / whittle_by_whittle_   Don’t forget to check out their account!
