In most cases, resin refers to liquid substances that solidify when exposed to heat, light, or room temperature. Resin is extremely robust when solidified and can be used to provide a transparent or opaque layer of color to a number of crafts. As a result, resin has become a popular creative material in a variety of fields, from woodworking to jewelry manufacturing.
Resin is used to created a variety of different jewelry such as: beads, earrings, necklaces, rings, etc. Each piece has its own set of methods and tricks for artisans to pick up on. There are different types of resin (epoxy resin, polyester resin, and UV resin), the hardening time varies between 24 and 72 hours depending on the type of resin.
