What is the difference between Ice Resin and the Gel Du Soleil?
Ice Resin is a two part epoxy and Gel Du Soleil is a single part mixture and cures in 20 minutes when it's exposed to sun or UV light.
Resin and Charm Pendants
Each one of these pendants is a little piece of art. We took some of our favorite blanks
, added in some found scrabble tiles to use with our lovely bails, and made magic! With decorative papers, and our fun Charms and Solderable Accents you can create stylish, and personalized gifts. We think the Gel Du Soleil gives these a fantastic polished, and professional look. This Free Class is a great place to start if you are new to resin.
