Beginner Tip: Resin Bloom Coasters
Not all resin brands behave the same way when creating resin blooms. Some thinner resins may need time to sit and thicken before adding alcohol inks, while thicker resins can often be used immediately. Before starting a larger project, test your bloom process on a small piece so you can learn how your resin behaves.
What Is a Resin Bloom Coaster and Why Does It Happen?
A resin bloom coaster is a decorative coaster created by dropping alcohol inks and bloom products into resin. As the colors interact with the resin, they spread outward to create flower-like, fireworks-like, or underwater-inspired patterns. The final bloom is influenced by several factors, including resin viscosity, temperature, alcohol ink choices, and the type of white pigment used.

Common Causes of Resin Bloom Differences
Every resin bloom turns out a little differently. Several factors can affect how your blooms spread and develop:
- Resin viscosity and thickness
- Room and resin temperature
- Type of alcohol inks used
- White pigment or bloom paste selection
- Amount of alcohol ink added
- Mixing ratios and resin brand
- Surface size and coaster mold shape
- Working time before the resin begins curing
