Adding a resin: catalog lookup, mix ratios, and your default
Add the resins you pour with — start typing a brand and Ellie fills in the details, then set the one you reach for most as your default.
Your resins live in the pantry alongside your colorants. Adding one tells Ellie what you actually pour with, so the recipes she builds use the right mix ratios and cure times for your product.
Start with the brand
Start typing a resin brand and Ellie checks her catalog for a match. When she finds one, she fills in the details for you — so you're confirming what she found rather than typing everything from scratch.
Volume, weight, or UV
Resins are mixed in different ways, and the mix-measurement mode you choose changes what the ratio actually means:
- Volume — the ratio is parts by volume.
- Weight — the ratio is parts by weight.
- UV — a single-part resin that cures under a lamp.
Pick the mode that matches how your resin is measured, then fill in the pot life and cure details.
Heads up: Choosing UV hides the ratio fields — a UV resin isn't mixed in parts, it's one part that cures with light, so there's no ratio to set.
Setting your default resin
You can mark one resin as your workspace default — the one Ellie reaches for first when she builds a recipe.
Heads up: There's no "un-set" for the default. To change it, just set a different resin as the default — the new one takes over.
