FAQs

What is Epoxy & Polyurethane Resin Glitter?

Epoxy & Polyurethane Resin Glitter is a specialised glitter designed to be mixed with epoxy or polyurethane resins. It adds a sparkling effect to resin projects like countertops, art pieces, jewellery, and flooring, enhancing their visual appeal.

How do I use glitter in epoxy or polyurethane resin projects?

Mix the glitter into your resin after combining the resin and hardener thoroughly. Stir gently to distribute the glitter evenly, then pour the mixture into your mould or onto your surface as desired.

Is Hemway glitter compatible with all types of resin?

Yes, Hemway glitter is compatible with most epoxy and polyurethane resin systems. It's designed to resist fading and bleeding, ensuring a consistent and vibrant sparkle in your resin projects.

Will the glitter sink or float in the resin?

Hemway resin glitter is formulated to suspend evenly within the resin mixture. To maintain an even distribution, stir the resin periodically during the curing process or consider using a resin with a higher viscosity.

How much glitter should I add to my resin mixture?

The recommended mixing ratio is 100g of glitter per litre of resin. You can adjust the amount based on your desired level of sparkle—add more for a denser glitter effect or less for a subtle shimmer.

Can I mix different colours of glitter in one resin project?

Absolutely! Mixing different colours of Hemway glitter allows you to create unique, customised effects. Blend the glitters together before adding them to the resin to ensure an even distribution of colour.

Does the glitter affect the curing time of resin?

No, adding Hemway glitter to your resin should not significantly alter the curing time. Always follow the resin manufacturer's instructions regarding mixing ratios and curing durations for optimal results.

Is Hemway resin glitter heat-resistant?

Yes, Hemway resin glitter is heat-resistant up to 230°C and suitable for projects exposed to higher temperatures, such as coasters or countertops. However, ensure that the resin you are using is also heat-resistant to maintain the integrity of the finished piece.

How do I achieve an even distribution of glitter in resin?

To achieve an even distribution, thoroughly mix the glitter into the resin until it's uniformly dispersed. Pour the resin slowly and consider pouring in layers if working on a larger project, which can help maintain an even glitter spread.

Can I use Hemway resin glitter for food-safe resin projects?

While Hemway glitter is non-toxic, it is not certified as food-grade. If you're creating items that will come into contact with food, ensure both the resin and any additives used are certified food-safe by relevant authorities.
