FAQ: Why resin?



Epoxy resin is a high-gloss sealant that creates a glass-like effect. It is mixed in a two-step process involving a chemical reaction and is then poured into the piece in a liquid state. It then cures in the setting over the course of several days. Once the resin is cured, it creates a seal over the book page that is completely customized to fit every nook and cranny of the jewelry setting. Resin can be easily used in any shape of jewelry setting you might want.



With epoxy resin, there is no distortion of the words on the book pages (as can be seen with other similar media), and there is a very resilient seal over the book pages. While it's not recommended to swim or bathe with your Lexic Alley jewelry on, I've accidentally "tested" it in the shower a few times, and it's been fine! You can wear your resin jewelry and not worry about rain or riding on the Splash Mountain ride; I would, however, refrain from intentionally submerging it (try not to bathe or swim with it on).
