One of the easiest ways to turn your resin castings into jewellery is to attach them to jewellery blanks. You’ll need to use a strong adhesive for a permanent bond. A lot of people recommend E-6000 but I’ve had only limited success with it, especially on bracelets and rings that get knocked around a lot when you wear them. I’ve found I get a much stronger and more secure bond with 5-minute epoxy adhesive. It comes in two parts, just like resin, because it IS resin and that’s why it’s such a strong adhesive. But to make sure that you get the best results with it, you need to mix it properly. Start by dispensing equal amounts of each part from the tubes or syringe onto a plastic surface. I use an ice cream lid because the cured adhesive can easily be removed and the lid reused. Take a paddle pop stick and begin mixing the two parts together. It’s important that you scrape all the adhesive from the edges into the middle so it can be mixed in thoroughly. Now keep mixing it with the paddle pop stick and you will notice it takes on a milky white appearance as you mix and the tendency is to think that it’s going off and that you should use it at this stage. But not so… this is just part of the mixing process. Keep mixing! Mixing a small amount like this will take around 2 minutes. It will become clear again and that’s when you know it’s ready to use. Now apply it to the surface of the jewellery blank. You don’t need to apply it too thickly or to spread it all the way out to the edges as it may ooze out in the next step. Position the cabochon onto the adhesive. Then flip the piece over and make sure the jewellery blank is centred on the back of the cabochon. Hold it for a couple of minutes until the adhesive has grabbed. If you set it down too soon, the cabochon may slide off centre. I like to leave pieces for several hours before wearing them to give the adhesive a chance to cure. But refer to the directions on your adhesive which will tell you how long it takes until the bond reaches full strength. Pin these tips for later! ‘Til next time….

What is epoxy? Epoxy has several advantages over other adhesives and fillers. It can fill gaps and still retain strength, it’s waterproof, and it sticks well to most surfaces. Read the label to choose an epoxy that matches the repair you’re attempting. Here are some useful tips to help out.
