FAQs
What is the mixing ratio for this resin?
Refer to the specific instructions on the Pebeo Glazing Bio Resin Discovery Kit packaging for the exact mixing ratio of Part A (resin) and Part B (hardener), as it is crucial for proper curing.
How long does it take for the resin to cure?
Cure times vary depending on temperature and humidity. Typically, the resin will be tack-free within 24 hours and fully cured within 48-72 hours. Always consult the product instructions for precise curing times.
Can I use this resin for casting thicker pieces?
The 45ml kit is best suited for thin coatings and small castings. For thicker pours, multiple kits might be needed, and it's advisable to pour in layers to manage heat generation and ensure proper curing.
Is this resin food safe?
This product is not specified as food safe and should not be used for direct food contact surfaces.
What safety precautions should I take?
Always wear gloves and eye protection, and work in a well-ventilated area. Avoid skin and eye contact. Refer to the Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for detailed safety information.
How should I store the resin?
Store Part A and Part B in their original, tightly sealed containers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
Will the resin yellow over time?
The Pebeo Glazing Bio Resin is formulated to be resistant to yellowing over time, ensuring your projects maintain their clarity and appearance.
Troubleshooting
Resin is sticky or not curing properly
Ensure accurate mixing ratio of resin and hardener. Stir thoroughly for the recommended time. Check the ambient temperature; curing may be slow in cold conditions. Ensure both components were stored correctly and are within their shelf life.
Bubbles in the cured resin
Stir the mixture slowly and deliberately to minimize air introduction. After pouring, use a heat gun or torch briefly to pop surface bubbles. Allow the resin to warm slightly before mixing, which can reduce viscosity and bubble trapping.
Cloudy or hazy finish
This can be caused by moisture contamination or incorrect mixing. Ensure your tools and workspace are dry. Double-check the mixing ratio and stirring process. Avoid working in humid environments.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The Pebeo Glazing Bio Resin is a bi-component system. You will need to accurately measure and mix Part A (resin) and Part B (hardener) according to the instructions provided on the product packaging. Typically, this involves combining them in a specific ratio and stirring thoroughly for several minutes until fully incorporated. Ensure you work in a well-ventilated area.
Compatibility: This resin is suitable for use on a variety of surfaces including wood, canvas, ceramics, glass, and pre-primed materials. It is ideal for use with molds designed for resin casting. It is not recommended for use on flexible plastics or materials that may degrade from chemical contact.
Care: Once fully cured, the resin surface is scratch and yellowing resistant. Clean cured resin with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents, as these can damage the glossy finish. Store unused resin components in their original, tightly sealed containers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
