Reslin® kreativní sada na výrobu šperků

Reslin® creative kit for making jewellery is here for those who would like to try working with Reslin eco-resin. The kit contains everything you need to make at least 40 earrings or pendants. The pack also includes several surface-finish options, so you can customise each piece exactly to your liking. If you would like to decorate your creations even more, also take a look at the category of Reslin colours, powders and glitter.

Reslin® is the first resin made on a purely plant basis. It is made from linseed oil and a natural activator from sugar beet molasses, and is 100% biodegradable in nature. It contains no toxic substances and is odourless, so it can be worked with bare hands, making it an ideal choice for home and professional use even in the presence of children. Working with this resin does not require protective equipment such as gloves or respirators. It is characterised by a relatively short curing time and is suitable for making decorations, jewellery and functional items. Without the use of dyes and powders it has a natural colouring in golden to brown tones, but retains its translucency just like crystal resin.

Preparing Reslin resin and curing itself take place in the oven at temperatures up to 120 °C. A regular kitchen oven can be safely used for this. First, both components need to be heated for 20 minutes at 60 °C (you can heat the oil and activator directly in their original containers during this step), then mix them together. After pouring into the mould, leave the product at room temperature for approximately 20 minutes. Next comes baking for 20 minutes at 90 °C, followed by a gradual increase in temperature to 120 °C for a further 20 minutes (without removing the product from the oven in between). Never use a microwave oven when working with Reslin.

From the kit you can make at least 20 pairs of earrings, although the kit actually contains more Reslin resin than you'll need for this amount. So in theory you could also make extra pendants for a matching necklace, components for further projects, or keyrings. If you already know you'd like to make something else, take a look at the category of jewellery findings, where you'll find jump rings, head pins, earring hooks, keyring bases and other essentials for making jewellery and accessories.

Pack contains: 250 g of oil and 125 g of activator (hardener), 6 x 2 g of pearlescent mica powder in various colours, earring hooks – 10 pairs in silver and 10 pairs in gold, 150 g of Stone Roxx XXS glitter stones in the Night black gold shade, 1 silicone mould for pendants with multiple designs, gloves, a mixing spatula and instructions (in English, German, Italian, Spanish, French and Dutch).

Although creating with this kit is fairly simple, according to the manufacturer it is officially intended for those who already have some experience with casting resins. If you would prefer to start with something simpler, take a look at the Reslin® creative kit for making bowls or coasters.
