Resin art journal with pour logs, volume calculator and color recipes

Resin art journal pages for makers who want to repeat their best pieces instead of guessing how they happened. This undated workbook holds 45 pages and comes as an instant PDF download in US Letter and A4.

You get 30 pour logs, a calculator page for working out volume, a pigment mixing chart with space for color recipes, inventories for molds and supplies, templates for planning projects, a page for mistakes and their fixes, and a simple pricing worksheet.

Why a resin art journal makes every pour easier

Each pour log captures the details that change a result: which resin you used, the ratio, how much part A and part B went in, the mixed total and mixing time, plus room and resin temperature and the humidity. Add the mold, colors and inclusions, up to four layers, cure times from tack free through fully hard, a sketch and a note on how it came out. So when a coaster turns cloudy, tacky or bubbly, you can compare and spot what changed, then write the solution on the mistakes and fixes page.

The calculator page takes you from mold measurements to fluid ounces or milliliters and then splits that amount by ratio, so you mix enough without waste. Color recipes, molds and supplies stop living on sticky notes and finally share one home.
