Instruction

  • Put half a teaspoon of mica powder into each disposable cup. Use blues, greens, and whites for the resin river. Leave the spoons in the cups for easy mixing.
  • Prepare Surface by placing a sheet of clear plastic over two boards to form a channel for the resin river.
  • Combine the two parts of clear resin together and mix well. Be cautious of fumes and mess when working with resin.
  • Pour some mixed resin into each cup with mica powder. Mix each cup thoroughly. The resin should not be too runny, allowing time for mixing.
  • Start with the darker colors to create the base layer. Blend blue and green colors for a natural look. Add white and light colors at the ends to create a foam effect.
  • Pour the resin to create layers of colors, starting with darker shades and blending into lighter ones.
  • By following these steps, you can create a beautiful custom resin river with a natural and dynamic appearance.
