Let's learn how to curing your beautiful UV-LED resin
To harden your objects from UV-LED resin must curing under UV light wavelength of 200nm~400nm Violet ray. Which means you can expose them to direct sunlight, using normal UV lamp or UV-LED lamps but you won’t to work outside for making handcrafts, using UV lamps or UV-LED lamp is much more way better and easier! What is the Difference Between an LED Lamp and UV Lamp?
The difference between an LED and UV nail lamp is based on the type of UV radiation wavelength emits. Both of them work in same way. However, UV lamps emit a broader spectrum of wavelengths, while LED lamps produce a narrower, more specific wavelength range. Most UV lamps have a bulb-life of 1000 hours and should to replace new bulbs every 6 months meanwhile LED lamps last for 50,000 hours. Last Using LED lamp is the way easier and more compatible with UV resin or gel nail polish on the market.
Where to find UV-LED lamps?
UV-LED lamps that we talk about are LED nail lamps! You can find various options of LED nail lamps on the market. So, this topic will talk about how to choose LED nail lamp for UV-LED resin handcrafts!
Good quality UV-LED resin won’t need a high power to curing!
Chulimare resin series are high quality UV-LED resin. So, curing with UV-LED lamps is the best way to get the best result. They can curing within minutes even using 6W LED lamp! And not recomment to use super high power nail lamps! Best recommend to curing Chulimare’s Resin are 6W-90W UV-LED lamps!
Things you need to consider when looking some UV-LED lamps (LED nail lamps) : watts and wavelength specification : Using high watts lamps which means they consume more power, more temperature , aside more cost your electric bills and they’re not friendly to your dried flowers or glitters! So, just use LED lamps 6W-90W are recommend and always check specification to have both UV wavelengths at 365nw +405nw for fastest curing. LED lights arrangement :
This factor is THE MOST IMPORTANT for craft with UV resin. Curing UV Resin is like baking a cake. When curing. Process to transform from liquid to solid under uv “light” will cause “heat” It’s important to use LED lamps that have enough amount of LED beads spread widely inside the lamp. If you using unarrangement LED beads or less amount of LED beads , its will cause “dead zone” and will effect your works shrinkage inequitable , distorted or bent. Below picture is example of a good and bad arrangement of LED beads
Curing Timer mode :
Most of LED nail lamps have timer mode way much easier to use! They almost have 4 presets : 10Sec /30Sec / 60Sec and 99Sec (Lower power mode) These timer button on lamps help you to set time for curing for each type of works. When you using a good UV-LED resin (always Chulimare :) 60-90sec is enough to get objects completely dry and solid. Thus, you can manage to get your craft done within 5-10 minutes and 99sec Lower heat mode help to curing weaky objects like dried flowers..prevent them from burning and wrinkling your beautiful flowers and save power. Double light source LED beads , Eyes harmless
dual-light source lamp beads,(365+405nw) allowing you to cure different types of UV, UV-LED resin or gel nail polish types. The yellow background of LED bead will make the light from the lamp not harm your eyes.
Infrared sensor Hand in light on. : If you do not press any timer button after this Curing lamp connect to power. Once you put your hand into it, the infrared sensor will automatically start the machine, the maximum working time is 99s.(Low heat mode) LCD display :
LCD display will show the time countdown when your press the buttone timer presets : 10sec, 30sec, 60sec and 99sec (99seconds mode is lower heat mode) The screen display allows you to manage time for different objects and jobs.
