When looking to protect your epoxy resin project from scratches, heat marks, and sunlight, it’s important to choose the right coating for long-lasting results. Here’s how to select the ideal resin for a durable, clear finish with added UV resistance.
Choosing a Resin with Reliable Protection
For final coatings where durability is key, Art Pro clear epoxy resin stands out. It’s designed to provide a tough, transparent layer that resists both scratching and discolouration from sunlight. Thanks to its balanced formula, Art Pro delivers an even, glass-like finish while supporting projects such as decorative trays, coasters, and artwork panels.
Maximising Scratch and UV Resistance
Proper mixing and application are crucial—follow the recommended 3:2 weight ratio, and aim for a minimum layer thickness of 1.5 mm for effectiveness. Art Pro’s non-drip formula helps you achieve smooth, even coverage, while sufficient curing time (12–24 hours) increases the coating’s hardness. Once fully cured, it’s easy to maintain the finish by polishing or cleaning with suitable products if required.
When This Matters Most
- If your resin piece will be frequently handled, such as tabletops or serving boards, a scratch-resistant and UV stable top coat helps preserve clarity and beauty.
- For objects exposed to natural or artificial light, long-term UV protection minimises yellowing and degradation, keeping the finish pristine.
