Why you need it

Resin does not forgive guesswork

The wrong resin. A thin coating resin poured too thick overheats, turns yellow and cracks.
A sticky surface that never dries. A wrong ratio or poor mixing. You can’t undo it.
Bubbles from the wood. Skip the seal coat and the whole “river” is full of tiny bubbles.
Allergy. The most expensive mistake: it stays for good and takes away not just a piece, but the whole hobby.

The guide is built so you don’t learn these by accident: safety and choosing resin first, then technique, and only then specific projects.

Look inside

What it looks like

Every chapter starts with a photo and has diagrams, tables with numbers and a checklist before you start.

Practice

Six projects with calculated resin volume

Not “make it pretty”, but how many grams, how many hours and exactly where things go wrong.

Easy

Set of magnets

A first project for one evening. 80 ml of resin, one day to cure.

Medium

River serving board

A mini river table. 0.5 l of resin, three days.

Medium

Clock

A 25 cm circle, 0.45 l. The key is a movement that fits the thickness.

Medium

Night light

A 12×18 cm panel poured in layers, with light inside the resin.

Hard

Resin and wood ring

The most precise project: a week of curing and the full sanding ladder.

Medium

Tray with rims

40×28 cm, 0.5 l. Check the level: resin flows wherever the table tilts.

Who it’s for

The guide was written for three situations

Never worked with resin

You want to try but don’t know where to start or what is dangerous. Start with chapters 4 and 6, then make the magnets.

Tried it and it went wrong

Sticky, cloudy, full of bubbles. Chapter 13 covers each cause separately, chapter 17 rescues the surface.

Want to sell your pieces

A pricing formula, honest product descriptions, what you can and can’t say about food contact.

Questions

What people usually ask

I have never worked with resin. Will it be hard?

The guide was written for exactly that. Simple language, every term explained. The first project is a set of magnets: 80 ml of resin and one evening.

What exactly do I get?

Two PDF files with the same text: 110 A4 pages for your computer and printing, and a narrow 195-page version for your phone. Plus a workbook you can print.

Are there real numbers or just general tips?

Numbers. Mixing ratios, layer thickness per pour, curing times, sandpaper grits, resin volume for each project, with sources. But the guide keeps repeating the main rule: the label of your own resin beats any number in the guide.

Does it replace my resin’s instructions?

No, and the guide says so directly. Resins differ, and exact numbers come from the data sheet of your product. The guide explains the logic and shows what to look at.

What if I don’t like it?

Email us within 7 days and we will refund you, no questions asked.

Can I make food-safe items with this guide?

Only with a resin whose manufacturer explicitly allows it. Chapter 3 explains how to check, and why you shouldn’t trust a “safe” label without proof.

Why is the payment in Ukrainian hryvnia?

We are a small Ukrainian business and take payments through monobank, a major Ukrainian bank. You pay 920 UAH (about €19). Your bank converts it automatically; some banks add a small currency conversion fee. Card, Apple Pay and Google Pay all work.

One evening and you know what you’re doing

The cheapest resin mistake costs more than this guide: a ruined slab, a wasted litre, a spoiled mold. The most expensive one is an allergy that never goes away.

This guide isn’t about “pretty photos”. It’s about the mixing ratio, layer thickness, the air in the room and the order to sand in so no scratches are left.
