How to make resin rings bigger?

If you are trying to make resin rings bigger by grinding them down, you will be wasting your time and effort. The rings are already sized to fit over your finger properly. If you try to cut them down, you are just creating a bigger mess, and you will end up with an uneven ring that looks unsightly and that will fall apart much faster than a properly made ring.

How to make resin rings thicker at the top?

To make a thicker resin ring at the top, place a ring mold on a flat surface and fill it with resin. Keep adding resin until the ring mold is full. When the resin has been added, flip the ring mold over and allow to sit for a few hours to harden. When the resin is completely cured, remove the ring mold. The resulting ring will be thicker at the top.

How to make thicker resin rings?

If your ring is too thin, you can make it thicker without breaking the mold. One way to do this is to add more gel. You will need to increase the amount of catalyst as well. You may also have to add epoxy powder or more plasticizer to thicken the resin. If adding more gel doesn’t work, try adding a little more resin or sanding the inside of the ring to make it thinner.

If you want to increase the diameter of the resin ring, you should subtract the amount of shrinkage from the diameter of the stone you want to fit. For example, if you want to shrink a ring to fit a stone with a diameter of 8 millimeters (mm) but it ends up fitting with a stone that is 7.5 mm, you need to subtract 0.5 mm from the diameter of the ring.
