Hi resin makers! 👋

One question we get pretty often about the Resiners G3 2-in-1 Resin Curing Machine is:

What kinds of projects is it best for, and when should you use the different accessories?

Since not every resin project has the same size, shape, or curing needs, the G3 is designed to be flexible enough for different workflows.

Here’s a simple guide.

Jewelry & Small Resin Pieces

For projects like:

* Pendants
* Earrings
* Keychains
* Charms
* Small floral pieces

You can use the standard G3 setup for epoxy resin pieces, while UV Mode is useful for UV resin projects.

For smaller, low-profile molds, there’s usually no need to add extra height.

Coasters, Trays & Other Flat Projects

Flat projects are one of the most common ways to use the G3.

This includes:

* Coasters
* Small trays
* Resin tiles
* Flat decorative pieces
* Thin silicone molds

For these projects, the standard setup works well and keeps the mold in a controlled curing environment.

The leveling base is also useful here.

Before curing, you can make small adjustments to help keep the resin surface level, which is especially important for projects where uneven thickness is easy to notice.

Floral Preservation Projects

The G3 can also be used for projects involving dried or pressed flowers, such as:

* Floral pendants
* Flower coasters
* Memorial flower pieces
* Small botanical blocks
* Decorative flower molds

Depending on the height of the mold, you can either use the standard setup or add the Height Extender for extra vertical space.

For epoxy resin projects, always follow the curing temperature recommendations provided by your resin manufacturer.

Taller & Deeper Molds

If you’re working with projects such as:

* Small bowls
* Deep flower molds
* Resin blocks
* Containers
* Taller silicone molds

This is where the Height Extender becomes useful.

The Height Extender increases the available vertical space inside the G3, so taller molds can fit more comfortably during curing.

A simple way to think about it:

Low-profile project → standard setup

Taller project → add the Height Extender

This makes it much easier to switch between everyday jewelry or coasters and larger resin projects without needing a completely different curing setup.

What Is the Silicone Mat For?

The Silicone Mat sits underneath your molds during curing.

It’s especially useful when working with:

* Freshly poured molds
* Multiple small pieces
* Open molds
* Projects that may drip or slightly overflow

It helps protect the inside of the machine and makes cleanup easier if resin spills during the curing process.

It also gives you a convenient surface for moving freshly poured molds into the G3.

When Should You Use UV Mode?

The G3 isn’t only designed for epoxy resin.

Its UV curing function can also be used for smaller UV resin projects such as:

* Jewelry
* Charms
* Decorative details
* Small repairs
* UV resin embellishments

So if you regularly work with both epoxy resin and UV resin, you can handle both curing processes within the same machine instead of keeping separate setups.

What About Batch Making?

The G3 can also be useful if you make multiple pieces at once.

A typical workflow might look like:

Mix → Degas → Pour → Cure → Demold → Sand & Polish

For small businesses or creators who reuse the same molds frequently, having a more controlled curing workflow can also help improve mold turnover between batches.

For example, you might use:

Standard setup for a batch of coasters or jewelry

Height Extender for taller molds

Silicone Mat to keep the curing area cleaner

Leveling Base for projects where surface balance matters

UV Mode for smaller UV resin pieces

The main idea?

There isn’t one single G3 setup that works best for every project.

The right setup depends on the height of your mold, the type of resin you’re using, and the shape of the piece you’re making.

That’s why the G3 and its accessories are designed to adapt to different stages and types of resin work.

What do you use your G3 for most — jewelry, coasters, floral pieces, or taller molds?
