⚠️ Resin Safety Checklist – Read Before You Begin! ⚠️

Working with resin is fun, but safety comes first! Follow these essential precautions to protect yourself and your workspace:

Work in a Well-Ventilated Area – Resin fumes can be harmful. Open windows, use a fan and work in a ventilated space.
Wear PPE (Personal Protective Equipment) – Gloves, safety glasses, an apron, and a mask (with respirator) to help protect your skin, eyes, and lungs. This is the recommended PPE from most manufacturers but if you’d like further information, the Safety Data Sheet for Resin can be found online.
Cover Your Workspace – Resin is sticky and difficult to remove from surfaces (trust me, we know all too well). Use a silicone mat, plastic sheets or baking paper as a cover.
Keep Food & Drinks Away – Avoid accidental contamination—resin isn’t safe to ingest and I doubt it tastes good by any means.
Store Resin Safely – Keep it sealed and out of reach of children and pets.
Handle Heat Carefully – Resin gets warm while curing. Don’t place it near flammable objects or touch it while it’s reacting.
Wash Off Spills Immediately – If resin gets on your skin, wipe it off with isopropyl alcohol and wash with soap and water.

Now that you're prepped, let’s get crafting!

Getting Started

Read all the way through before starting!

QUICK TIP: Before mixing, warm up your Part A & Part B resin in a tub of warm water. This reduces bubbles when stirring.

Mixing & Pouring Your Resin

1️⃣ Mix Carefully: Combine equal parts Part A & Part B Resin and stir slowly until fully blended—no streaks!

  • A single D20 requires approx. 10g of Resin (5g Part A + 5g Part B)

  • A full 7 Dice Set requires approx. 40g of Resin (20g Part A + 20g Part B)

2️⃣ Take Your Time: You have 30-45 minutes of working time, so experiment with colours and inclusions.


3️⃣ Pour High: Pour resin from 20cm above to help bubbles escape and overfill each dice ever so slightly, leaving a slight dome of resin on top. This helps reduce voids as resin shrinks while curing.


4️⃣ Cap & Cure: Secure the mould cap, pressing down so the cap is flush with the base, but be careful not to use too much force as it will push resin out of the dice moulds.

5️⃣ Curing: Cure time will depend on resin used, check the cure time on the bottle(s). If using a pressure pot, pressurise to 45 psi and leave until cured. If you do not have a pressure pot, don’t worry.

Finishing Your Dice

  • Sanding: Put a few drops of water on your lowest grit sand paper and make even pressured circles until excess resin is removed. After approx. 30 passes, move onto the next sandpaper in ascending order of grit (Higher = Smoother finish). Once you’ve completed the 2000 grit, move on to Polishing.

  • Polishing: Place a small dab of polishing compound on your paper and polish in a firm circular motions the same as you did sanding. Once you’ve completed all 3 sanding papers, buff each face with a small amount of polishing compound and a microfiber cloth.

  • Inking: Fill in numbers with lightly watered down acrylic paint, then wipe off the excess and clean with an alcohol wipe.
