- or sprinkle it onto the cast resin surface while it is still liquid.
Distribute creatively:
Use a toothpick, wooden spatula, or silicone brush to place the shards evenly or deliberately irregularly , depending on the desired effect (e.g. ice crystal look or broken glass texture).
Allow to harden:
- Epoxy resin: allow to cure completely according to the instructions (usually 24–48 hours).
- UV resin: cure under UV light (lamp or sunlight, depending on the product).
(Optional) :
For an extra smooth finish, you can pour a clear top coat of resin over the cracks once they are set.
