All our resin beads are made in Java, Indonesia.
The process involved in making these beads is quite interesting.
The four main ingredients are an epoxy liquid resin and hardener, a liquid or powder dye solution and a resin casting mold. (Resin dyes are available in transparent or opaque pigments).
Simply, the dye solution is mixed in with a quantity of liquid resin, which is then coupled with an epoxy hardening agent and stirred until the liquid is bubble-free.
Attention to accuracy is essential at this point; too much of either resin or hardener will alter the chemical balance –which results in the mixture not curing properly. Once everything has been prepared and mixed thoroughly, the solution is poured into the molds of choice. Some resin will cure quite quickly, while others will take a few hours.
Once set, holes are manually drilled, and the beads sanded and filed.
