What this sheet is for
Find out why last month's pour was flawless and this week's is tacky, by having both written down side by side.
Who it is for
Resin artists, river-table and turning-blank makers, jewellery and casting hobbyists, and anyone whose results vary with the weather.
How to use it
- Record the resin system and the scale you weigh on at the top.
- Log every pour with the product, batch number and the A to B mix as you actually weighed or measured it.
- Take a room temperature and humidity reading and write it in — do not guess.
- Note the demould date and time, then the cure result once you can judge it.
- Use the notes lines for bubbles, exotherm and what to change next time.
What is on the sheet
One page, top to bottom:
Printed under the title: Every resin pour written down the way it was actually done — the product, the batch, the mix by weight or volume, the pigment, the conditions in the room and how it cured — so the good one can be poured again.
Your resin's data sheet decides. Mix ratio, maximum pour depth, working time and full cure are all on your resin's own data sheet and nowhere on this page. Room temperature and humidity matter to resin, which is why there is a column for the reading you took, not a figure to aim for.
Write-on lines: Studio / maker · Resin system in use · Scale used
Table, 10 rows: Date · Piece / mould · Resin & batch · A : B (as mixed) · Pigment / additive · Room °C / RH · Demould · Cure result
Ruled lines: Notes — bubbles, exotherm, what to change next pour
Questions
Why is there no mix ratio or cure time?
Because every resin has its own, and getting it from anywhere but the maker's data sheet is how pours go wrong. This sheet is for what you did with that data: the actual weights, the actual room, the actual result.
Why record room temperature and humidity?
Because they change the working time and the finish, and they are the thing most people forget to write down. The column is for your reading from your own thermometer or hygrometer; there is no target on the sheet.
