UV resin and Craft Resin 1:1 epoxy tested in the same dragon jewellery mould for small earrings and claws.
Same Tiny Turner pigment, same tiny details, completely different working time.
The UV pieces cured quickly and made mistakes easy to redo. The two-part epoxy took longer and gave us a proper comparison once everything had cured. We also tested whether the difference was visible, touchable, or just one of those things we invent because we know which one we made.
Which would you use for jewellery - UV resin, epoxy, or both depending on the mould?
00:00 UV resin vs epoxy - what we are testing
01:01 Filling the dragon mould with UV resin
04:42 UV resin advantage: instant redo if it goes wrong
07:55 Two-part epoxy - same mould, one day later
09:13 Blind feel test and final comparison
What we used:
— Tiny Turner pigment — TOONPISH.COM
— Dragon wing/claw jewellery mould — amzn.to/4u56DC8
— Green Stuff adhesive (for securing jump rings) — amzn.to/432WESW
