Hello,
I am looking for a resin that cures hard and is scratch-proof. I tried a few brands already but with no luck, you can easily make fingernail marks on the surface and I do not feel comfortable selling my jewelry not being durable enough. Any recommendations?
Thanks!

Hi Toni,

Are you using molds, bezels, or something else to make your jewelry? That will help me with a recommendation.

I use open bezels for making pendants with a domed surface.

Hi Toni,

In general, doming resins don’t cure as hard as casting resins. I don’t know that there is a doming resin out there that cures hard enough to be scratchproof.

If you are willing to give up the domed surface, the Resin Obsession super clear resin works great for bezels and cures very hard. You can buy it in our store here: https://shop.resinobsession.com/collections/resin/resin-obsession-super-clear-resin
