How to Use This Calculator
- Enter the layer thickness in millimeters — UV resin is typically applied in thin layers (0.5–3 mm).
- Enter your UV lamp wattage (36 W nail lamp vs. 54 W professional lamp make a significant difference).
- Enter the distance from the lamp to the resin surface in inches.
- Select the resin clarity: clear (1.0×), tinted/translucent (1.5×), or opaque/heavy pigment (2.5×).
- Read the cure time in seconds and the recommended post-cure time to ensure full hardness.
- If the cure time seems long, reduce layer thickness or move the lamp closer to the resin surface.
