DIY Epoxy Resin Keychain Tutorial: Create Stunning Designs with UV Curing

Materials: Epoxy resin (3:1 ratio) Light purple and ginger yellow pigments (or pigment powders) Transparent epoxy resin Mold (for pouring resin) Tape Nail polish (paste-like) Sponge UV lamp Platinum nail art glue Rhinestones Procedure: Prepare epoxy resin and mix it according to the 3:1 ratio. Ensure thorough stirring until completely homogeneous. Add light purple and ginger yellow pigments into the mixed epoxy resin separately, stirring until the desired colors are achieved. Pour transparent epoxy resin into the mold, filling it to the appropriate level. Allow the epoxy resin to cure in the mold, typically requiring 24 hours. Remove the cured epoxy resin from the mold and wrap the surrounding area with tape to protect its surface. Apply nail polish paste onto the taped areas using a sponge, ensuring even coverage. Place the keychain under a UV lamp and cure for 120 seconds to quickly dry and harden the nail polish. Remove the tape from the surface of the resin, then apply new tape from the opposite direction. Use a sponge to apply the desired color of epoxy resin onto the taped areas, ensuring even coverage. Place the keychain back under the UV lamp and cure for 120 seconds to quickly dry and harden the resin. Use platinum nail art glue to outline fine lines for decoration. Secure a few rhinestones onto the keychain for added embellishment. Finally, apply a layer of transparent 3:1 epoxy resin to the entire keychain for sealing and to ensure a smooth surface and durability. Let the keychain cure completely, typically requiring 24 hours for the epoxy resin to fully harden. Once the epoxy resin is completely dry, remove the finished epoxy resin keychain from the mold.
