Ocean Resin Art: A Guide from Start to Finish

Protect your workspace with a plastic drop sheet, tape platter edges to control resin flow and shape a wave, level platters with shims and cups and wipe dust with water.

Mix four ounces of equal parts a and b resin with pigments to create blue platter art. Wear a mask and gloves, and stir for three minutes to minimize bubbles.

Pour resin to build blue waves on platters, spreading dark to light pigments for a gradient and covering edges, then wait 24 minutes before applying white pigment to form waves.

Mix white pigment into resin until smooth, clump-free, with careful scraping. Heat and blow a blue wave on the platter, manage bubbles, and let cure overnight.

Clean and restore silicone resin cups by scraping resin strands, flipping them inside out, and rinsing with room-temperature water and dish soap to prepare for the next project.

Check that the resin fully cured, then prepare for the second wave by ensuring platters are in place, dust-free, and wipe surfaces with acetone before wearing gloves.

Measure equal parts resin A and B to 80 ml, mix 3 minutes while scraping sides to prevent air bubbles, pour 20 ml white pigment and tint with sky blue.

Pour a second resin wave halfway down the first, spread around edges and handles, then wait 24 minutes before blowing the white pigment and mixing it with five minutes left.

Mix titanium white pigment into resin, stir 30 seconds, scrape sides, then pour and blow white waves with a heat gun to form cells.
