Please Help! Air pockets are ruining my resin jewellery!
Posted: Tue Nov 27, 2012 10:40 pm
Hi all,
Could use your help and advice here. I am the partner of a very frustrated resin addict. I am attempting to find an answer to a plague resin mystery. We are attempting to make some pendants with Chyiogami paper backs, sealed with nunn sealant and using Craftsmart Liquid Gloss. We are currently experiencing numerous air pockets after 24 hours of pouring and some days later, not to be confused with air bubbles. The air pockets are all shapes and sizes, however this occurrance only happens randomly in a few pendants. To manage this (thinking it is oil or dust), we have attempted to use wax and degreaser solvent followed by a tack cloth wipe in a dust free area. Unfortunately, after just 24 hours, small pockets are already emerging, from anywhere on the surface. Also, the size, shape or volume of the pendant does not affect this.
I will try to attach a photo soon.
Any ideas or advice would be greatly appreciated!
Cheers
