👗 Step-by-Step Instructions to Make Resin Wet Top

Step 1: Prepare Your Workspace

Ensure your workspace is:

• Well-ventilated
• Covered with a plastic sheet
• Equipped with gloves and a mask for safety

Resin emits fumes and can be messy, so take the necessary precautions.

---

Step 2: Set Up the Mannequin

Place cling wrap tightly over the upper torso of the mannequin. This will:

• Prevent resin from sticking permanently to the mannequin
• Allow easy removal of your final piece

If you’re planning to add fabric, drape it on the mannequin now. This can be the base for your resin structure.

---

Step 3: Mix the Resin

Mix resin and hardener according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
Typical ratio: 1:1 or 2:1, depending on the brand.

Mix slowly for about 3–5 minutes to avoid air bubbles.

🌟 Pro Tip: Add pigments or mica powder for colored wet looks like glossy red or deep black.

---

Step 4: Pour and Sculpt the Resin

Now the fun begins! Slowly pour the resin over the draped area on the mannequin. Use a spatula or your gloved hands to sculpt it into organic, wave-like shapes. Let it mimic the folds and drapes of a wet cloth.

You can:

• Let it drip naturally for that “just got out of water” look
• Sculpt sharp folds and curves for a high-fashion vibe

---

Step 5: Cure and Shape

Allow the first coat to partially cure for about 3–4 hours (until tacky), then layer more resin if needed to build thickness.

Use a heat gun to remove bubbles and shape the resin into your desired drapes.

⏳ Curing Time: Full cure can take up to 24-48 hours.

---

Step 6: Demold the Resin Top

Once fully cured and hard, gently lift the resin top off the cling film or mannequin. If it’s stuck, use scissors to carefully cut the wrap underneath.

---

Step 7: Add Finishings

Sand any rough edges using a fine-grit sandpaper. You can also add:

• Elastic straps or ribbons for wearing
• Lining inside for comfort
• Buckles, buttons, or hooks

---

Step 8: Style and Flaunt It

Pair your resin wet-look top with:

• High-waisted pants
• A pencil skirt
• Wide-leg trousers
• Or just wear it as a statement piece for a photoshoot!

📦 Common FAQs

❓ Can I make this top without a mannequin?

You can, but shaping will be harder. You can use a large water bottle, bowl, or anything that mimics body curves.

❓ Is the resin top wearable?

Yes, but it’s best worn for photoshoots, fashion shows, or short durations. Add lining for comfort.

❓ Can I wash it?

Wipe gently with a damp cloth. Do not machine wash.

❓ Will it break?

If made too thin, it might crack. Always ensure proper layering and curing.
