Mixing resin:
Prepare your epoxy or UV resin as usual according to the manufacturer's instructions (for epoxy resin, mix both components thoroughly).
Incorporate crackle flakes:
Give the cracks either:
directly into the liquid resin
or sprinkle them directly onto the poured resin surface while it is still liquid.
Distribute creatively:
Use, for example, a toothpick, wooden spatula or silicone brush to place the splinters evenly or deliberately irregularly – depending on the desired effect (e.g., ice crystal look or broken glass structure).
Allow to harden:
Epoxy resin: allow to cure completely according to instructions (usually 24–48 h).
UV resin: cure under UV light (lamp or sunlight, depending on the product).
(Optional) :
For a particularly smooth finish, you can pour a clear top layer of resin over the cracks once they are fixed.
