Resin Repair

 You might be wondering why this fabulous Instant Glam bezel is appearing under the title “Resin Repair.”  It is a great example of how to fix a mistake.

Fernando Dasilva, the designer of Instant Glam, was working on many different samples for the launch of this new Tuscany bezel collection.  He added the leather embellishment to the bezel and poured in Jewelry Resin.

Then he discovered the “mistake.”

Overnight a little of the leather, which should have been completely encased in resin was sticking out of the surface.  It may not have bothered everyone…but Fernando and I both felt it was very visible.  Happily, I offered to REPAIR it!

All I did was sand the surface of the resin until it was even again.  See how scratched up I made it?  I sanded and sanded until the area the leather popped out of was smooth again.

Then I mixed a small batch of Jewelry Resin and painted a glaze layer onto the entire piece.

Bezel saved!

Money saved!

Artwork Saved!

Learning how to repair a resin mishap will make working with resin less worrisome.
