12 FAQS ANSWERED

Frequently Asked Questions.

Everything you need to know about measuring the 2:1 ratio, ready-made accessories, mixing, curing, and demoulding.

1. Is this kit beginner-friendly?+

Yes! ❤️ You don't need any previous resin-art experience. Just follow the step-by-step guide, measure carefully, and take your time.

2. What is the resin-to-hardener ratio?+

The ratio is strictly 2:1 (2 Parts Resin + 1 Part Hardener). For the complete 300g kit: 200g Resin + 100g Hardener. Accurate measurement is essential for proper curing.

3. Do I need to make the Kum Kum Katoris and Tea Light Holder?+

No! Both the 2 Kum Kum Katoris and the Tea Light Holder are ready-made. You only need to make the main Pooja Thali using the resin and silicone mould.

4. How do I use the pearl rings?+

Simply place the 2 small pearl rings around the Kum Kum Katoris and the 1 large pearl ring around the Tea Light Holder. No resin or assembly required.

5. Can I use all the mica powders and glitters?+

Yes! You can use them individually or combine them for your own bespoke festive blend. Start with a small amount of mica and build your colour gradually.

6. How do I use the gold flakes?+

There is no fixed method! Scatter them randomly, concentrate them in one corner, line the edges, or combine with glitter. Let your creativity decide.

7. How do I create a marble effect?+

Prepare two or more coloured resin mixtures in separate cups and pour them into the mould one after another. Gently swirl with a mixing stick — don't over-swirl!

8. How long should I wait before demoulding?+

Wait until the resin has fully cured. Don't demould just because the surface feels hard; premature demoulding can bend your piece.

9. What if my resin is still sticky?+

Common causes: incorrect 2:1 ratio, incomplete mixing (not scraping cup sides/bottom), too much pigment, or low temperature/high humidity. Allow extra curing time.

10. Can I use the finished thali for food?+

No. The resin thali is intended for decorative and sacred pooja use only and should not be used for direct food contact.

11. Can children make this kit?+

Children can enjoy designing and placing decorative elements under adult supervision, but uncured resin and hardener should only be handled by adults.

12. What if my thali looks different from the picture?+

That's completely okay! ❤️ Resin naturally creates unique patterns. There is no perfect thali — there is YOUR thali. Make it yours!
