Resin Gummy Bears

Types of Resin Used for Creating Resin Gummy Bears

At Cutleaf, we’re always exploring innovative ways to delight our customers with wellness-focused products. One creative avenue we’ve explored is crafting resin gummy bears. For these charming creations, epoxy resin and UV resin are the two primary types we use. Epoxy resin, known for its durability and clarity, is great for beginners due to its longer curing time. UV resin, on the other hand, cures much faster under UV light, making it ideal for those who prefer a quicker project turnaround.

DIY Resin Gummy Bear Tutorial

Materials Needed:

• Epoxy or UV resin
• Resin gummy bear molds
• Colorants
• Mixing tools
• Protective gear

Steps:

• Mix your resin according to instructions, ensuring to wear protective gear.
• Add colorant to your resin mixture and stir thoroughly.
• Pour the resin into your gummy bear molds.
• If using epoxy resin, allow to cure for the time specified by the manufacturer. For UV resin, cure under UV light.
• Once completely cured, demold your resin gummy bears.

Safety Precautions When Working with Resin

Working with resin requires caution to ensure safety. Always work in a well-ventilated area and wear gloves, eye protection, and a mask to avoid inhaling fumes or coming into direct contact with the resin. It’s also crucial to follow the manufacturer’s instructions closely to avoid any mishaps.

Popular Colors for Resin Gummy Bears

Resin gummy bears come in a myriad of colors. Popular choices include translucent colors that mimic the look of real gummy bears, vibrant neons, and glitters for that extra sparkle. Experimenting with color combinations can result in truly unique creations.

Resin Gummy Bear Molds

Choosing the right mold is essential for creating perfect resin gummy bears. Silicone molds designed specifically for resin casting offer the best results. These molds provide the flexibility needed to demold your creations without damage.

Ways to Customize Resin Gummy Bears

Beyond color, there are countless ways to customize your resin gummy bears. Adding small trinkets, embedding dried flowers, or even incorporating a drop of our CBD tincture can add a personal touch. The possibilities are limited only by your imagination.

Curing Process for Resin Gummy Bears

The curing process varies depending on the type of resin you choose. Epoxy resin typically takes 24-72 hours to fully cure, while UV resin can cure in minutes under a UV lamp. Patience is key to ensure your resin gummy bears are solid and clear.

How to Add a Glossy Finish to Resin Gummy Bears

For that shiny, gummy bear-like finish, applying a coat of resin gloss sealer spray or brushing on a thin layer of clear resin post-curing can make your resin gummy bears look delectably real.

Selling Resin Gummy Bears as Handmade Items

Handmade resin gummy bears can be a unique product for those looking to sell their crafts. When selling, ensure to highlight their customizable nature, and consider incorporating wellness aspects, like our CBD tinctures, to appeal to a broad audience.

Different Techniques for Making Resin Gummy Bears

Techniques for making resin gummy bears can vary, from layering different colored resins to achieve a multi-toned bear, to using a swirling method for a marbled effect. Experimenting with different techniques can lead to stunning results and truly one-of-a-kind creations.
