🔮 Step-by-Step Guide
**Step 1｜Pad Installation**
Secure silicone pad tightly into base cavity. Trim excess with scissors if needed (*critical for leak prevention*).
—
**Step 2｜White Resin Base**
1. Shake white resin bottle vigorously for 30 seconds
2. Pour at 45° angle using “teardrop” technique
3. Create convex surface with brush (*allows 0.5mm sticker clearance*)
—
**Step 3｜Bubble Elimination**
Quick-pass torch 6″ above surface using “snake pattern” movement. For stubborn bubbles:
• Prick with sterilized needle
• Apply 2-second heat burst
—
**Step 4｜Partial Curing**
UV cure for 30 seconds under lamp (*wear UV-protective gloves*). Surface should show “tacky gel stage”.
—
**Step 5｜Sticker Application**
1. Dip sticker in 70% isopropyl alcohol for better adhesion
2. Use “slide-and-press” method from center outward
3. Burnish edges with silicone tool
—
**Step 6｜Clear Encapsulation**
1. Apply clear resin in “donut shape” around sticker
2. Use brush to create surface tension gradient
3. Maintain 2mm meniscus at edges
—
**Step 7｜Final Adjustments**
• *Sticker shifting*: Reposition with cooled tweezers
• *Micro-bubbles*: Use alcohol swab “pop and wipe” method
• *Resin overflow*: Precision scrape with razor blade
—
**Step 8｜Full Curing Protocol**
Triple-stage curing cycle:
① 3min front → ② 2min back → ③ 1min per side
(*Eliminates uncured “fish eyes”*)
—
**Step 9｜Finishing Touches**
1. Remove silicone pad with “peel-and-roll” technique
2. Polish metal edges with 2000-grit sandpaper
3. Attach black cord chain using lark’s head knot
