How to Use

Pour a base layer of mixed epoxy or UV resin into your mould. Allow it to partially cure until tacky, then gently place the origami boat in the desired position. Pour the top layer of resin to fully encase the boat. This layering technique helps keep the inclusion centred and prevents floating.

Safety Tips

Always work with resin in a well-ventilated area and wear gloves. Paper inclusions are best sealed with a thin coat of resin or Mod Podge before embedding to prevent moisture absorption, which can cause yellowing or warping over time. Use UV-resistant resin for pieces exposed to sunlight.
