Question about making jewelry with clear resin ...?

I made pendants with pieces of wood, then covered with clear resin that I bought in a craft store. As you know, most of these resin products are available in two different parts, when mixed, can be applied then hardened to create a glass like finish. Usually I have no difficulty with this product. However, if you do not mix the two parties as far exactly the same, I do not dry completely and it is very sticky when finished. A mixture of resin bottle is labeled "hardener. If I rub a small amount hardener the label is complete, do you think will be the struggle against the rigidity and finish correctly? If not, is there any way to get rid of this problem later that brand new hanging?

First, the type of resin that you describe is an epoxy resin (mixed), for the moment. Other major boat resin is polyester resin (mixed drops of catalyst / hardener in a greater amount of resin), and this may remain on the sticky surface air dried next normally, usually for melting into molds or between sheets of glass fiber. epoxy resins used should not be modulated or layered over 1 / 8 "in a time (to a total of 1 / 2 ")... When more than one layer, each layer must be cured before the next is added. I do not know if this could be your problem. The timber may also be a problem because if it was not sealed may still contain some residual moisture (bubbles What can you do at least) and is porous. So if you use the bare wood tables, you may want to seal their first (regular white glue diluted three or four 1 with water is probably easier) then let it dry completely before contact with resin. The other thing is that there are specific requirements for the best cure resin ... and temperature (and sound mixing mixing ratio, and application). Here is some information on these topics moisture my site: work in a well ventilated reasonable ... Never mix or pour direct sun ... the best results, between 68 ° and 80 ° the temperature ... harder, pour and cure the humidity below 50% ... Mix only the amount that we to wear in 20 minutes or less (for the supermarket ... better because it helps to make new batches) ......( keep mixing tightly closed when not in use) ... Pour the resin in a cup and hardener in another cup (equal amounts) ... ... then pour a little on the other hand ... mix well for 1-2 minutes (for more results obvious). .. Scrape sides and bottom of the container continues ... Some people recommend new cup (after mixing 30 sec. And more), if a pure liquid at the bottom First Cup remain in ...... uncured 'sticky' points will result in any of the liquid is well blended (do not react chemically so it does not cure) ........ In this case, scrape the surface stains recovered ... well with acetone or rubbing alcohol ... then to repay Add a product the surface of healing in a draft free, warm no powder room .... reach of children, pets, activity, fans, etc. ...... protect resin surface dust and pet hair while cooking by placing a cardboard box on the topic example ... Let stand for at least 24 hours. ...... sets in 3-5 hours, depending on temperature and humidity ...... touch in 12 hours. ...... complete recovery within 48-72 hours ... For example, 80 sessions (four hours established from 60 hours to complete healing), or 70 º (5 h established, full cure 72 hours) for more information on the use of epoxy resins and resins polyester on this page, if you want to check: http://glassattic.com/polymer/other_materials.htm You Can always add more epoxy in the epoxy resin (resin Polyester or more but not more than epoxy polyester), and / or scraping or sanding the first to get rid of any sticky residue is supposed to do everything else right Last time, I guess.
