Is Art Pro Suitable for Surface Finishes on Tables?

← Back to Resin for River Table Projects

When finishing a table—particularly a resin river table—achieving a tough, high-gloss surface is key. Here we look at whether Art Pro epoxy resin is a fitting choice for protective and attractive table coatings.

Art Pro Epoxy Resin: Gloss, Durability, and Application

Art Pro epoxy resin is specially formulated for decorative items and provides a clear, glossy finish suitable for table surfaces. It forms a hard, scratch-resistant layer with a recommended minimum thickness of 1.5 mm per coat. This makes it ideal for both residential and show-piece tables that demand an elegant look with practical resilience.

Easy mixing (3:2 by weight) and smooth application for even coverage

For best results, ensure your workspace is clean and dust-free, pour Art Pro in controlled layers, and allow adequate curing time to maximise hardness and clarity.

Choosing the Right Resin for Your Table Project

If your aim is purely a surface coat with a deep, glass-like shine, Art Pro stands out for tables and crafts. However, there are situations where an alternative might be more appropriate, especially for different thickness requirements.

Trasparente is suitable for slightly thicker surface pours (up to 2 cm) and also offers a durable gloss finish.

When casting thicker layers as part of table builds, a deep-pour formula—like those found in our main river table resin range—may be preferable for the build, with Art Pro reserved for the top protective coat.

When Surface Finish Really Matters

Protective coatings become crucial when tables are exposed to scratches, heat from mugs, and general wear. Art Pro is particularly effective where you want a reliable, attractive top layer that stays clear over time and resists everyday marks.
