Glowing Resin Lamp

What you'll need:

 

Amazing Clear Cast

Retangular Mold

Parchment Paper

Masking Tape

Cylinder

Battery Opperated Tea lights

 

 

🪄 Instructions:

 

Step 1: Pour Resin Into the Mold 🫗

Create your design in a large rectangular mold. Allow your Amazing Clear Cast to partially cure until it reaches a tacky but still demoldable stage. This typically takes about 5 hours. Keep in mind that you'll want to maintain translucency in your design to ensure the light can shine through it beautifully when you create your lamp.


 

Step 2: Prepare Your Cylinder Form

While the resin is curing, prepare a cylinder form using nonstick parchment paper. Simply wrap the entire cylinder with parchment paper to ensure the resin doesn't stick to your form.


 

 

Step 3: Wrap the Resin Slab 🔄

Once the resin slab has reached the appropriate stage, typically around 5 hours into the curing process, it's time to carefully wrap it around the cylinder form. Ensure that the resin is evenly distributed around the form. Take your time with this step to create the perfect foundation for your lamp.


 

 

Step 4: Secure with Parchment Paper and Tape 📃

Secure the resin in place with additional parchment paper and tape. This will help maintain its shape as it continues to cure. Let the resin slab cure fully until it hardens this can take anywhere up to 24 hours. Then carefully remove the resin slab from the cylinder form once it has fully cured.


 

 

Step 5: Add a Base ⚖

In this step you will be pouring resin inside the cylinder you made to create a stable base for your lamp. Make sure you securly tape the bottom to prevent any spillage. Once taped, you can proceed to pour resin inside of the cylinder. This will give you a strong stable base.

 

⭐Pro Tip: For a quick and easy base use one of our Casting Resins.

 

 



 

 

Step 6: Add Battery-Operated Lights 💡

Bring your lamp to life by adding battery-operated lights to the interior of the resin cylinder. This will create a beautiful glow when the lamp is turned on. Remember to keep your resin slab translucent to allow the light to shine through. Place it in your favorite spot and enjoy the elegant ambiance it brings to your space!
