Making Your Acrylic Keychain:
The First Steps
Please take the necessary safety measures to safeguard yourself while dealing with resin. You can see that I’m wearing gloves in this photo to prevent resin from getting on my skin. Wearing a respirator is suggested to shield the lungs from pollutants. I also use a silicone pad to cover my surface every time. Amass the necessary supplies before beginning to make your UV resin-covered acrylic keychain.
Requirments:
- LED Resin
- Glitter
- Plastic Blanks
- UV Light for Curing
- the vinyl sticker you simply cut in the aforementioned steps
- scraper device
- weeding device
- a mixing bowl, and a stirring tool
- tape for transference
- a heat gun or a lighter
Use the tape to transfer the name to the backdrop and put it aside to prepare your transfer. Let’s begin by concentrating on the back.
Making UV Resin for Your Acrylic Blank
Utilizing a wedding instrument, remove the covering. Just enough resin should be poured into the mixing cup to cover the top. Glitter should be gently incorporated while being cautious to avoid creating bubbles.
Glitter added to UV resin
The glittering resin should then be poured onto the keychain blank’s surface. Be cautious not to shove the resin over the edge as you slowly press it close to the blank’s edge. This requires considerable patience and time. Once the whole area has been covered, heat the exterior and let any air bubbles escape using a lighter or another heat source.
UV resin light
Heal it beneath the light to finish. Follow the directions on your resin; however, this usually takes 60 seconds or less. The resin will heat up under the light as it dries, so it is best to wait till it has cooled for several minutes before handling it to prevent scratching the surface.
Turn it over once it has cooled. Your created vinyl decal should be removed from its backing. Use a scraping tool to firmly attach it and eliminate any air bubbles after positioning it where you desire on the front surface of the blank.
The last touches
The top should next be coated with resin, distributed uniformly, bubbles removed, and let to dry for a more polished appearance. You are then ready to finish off by adding jump hooks to the keyring and tassel after they have cooled. With UV Resin, you have produced an original Acrylic Keychain.
