      Since epoxy resin is not available in the local stores here in my place, what I have is polyester resin. Searching about how to use it made me intimidated and backed off for a while. I did not start any project yet lest I regret what’m doing. I’m still confused how can I measure my catalyst. the polyester we have here do not have any brands nor wraps around it with instructions. they said the ratio 375 grams of resin to 1 ounce of catalyst is enough, and just don’t place it under. But I would only need small ounces of the mix at a time, since I want to create necklaces. I do not know how to measure the catalyst and I hope someone can help me with this. Thank you so much.
      BTW I’m from the Philippines 🙂

      Hi Deborah,

      I’m sorry to hear you don’t have access to epoxy resin. How frustrating!

      I wish I had an easy answer for you about using the polyester resin. It may be that this resin is not meant for small mixes/pours and may not cure if mixed in small amounts. Your best bet is to get in touch with the manufacturer for their advice.
