Choosing the right resin ensures your art, decorative items or handmade jewellery achieve their best appearance and last over time. Let’s explore options designed specifically for creative applications.
Resins Tailored for Artistic Excellence
For surface coatings on paintings, decorative objects and jewellery, clarity, durability and user-friendly application matter most. Art Pro offers excellent transparency and a durable, scratch-resistant finish—ideal for anything from coasters to pendants. Its medium viscosity helps you achieve a glass-like result without excessive drips or unevenness, suiting layers between 1 and 10mm.
If you require a coating with an odourless formula and robust UV resistance, Icrystal is designed for artists and jewellery-makers seeking clear, bubble-free results and easy handling up to 1.5cm per application.
Getting the Best Results
Whichever resin you select, always follow the recommended mixing ratios—Art Pro uses a 3:2 ratio, while Icrystal is mixed at 2:1. Work in a well-ventilated area and avoid pours during temperature extremes, as resins cure best around typical indoor conditions (and should not exceed 70°C). For optimal shine and protection, apply in thin, controlled layers, allowing adequate cure time between coats.
- Use gloves and protect your workspace
- Pour slowly to reduce bubbles
- Check humidity as high levels can impact clarity
When This Matters Most
For artists working in home studios or small workshops where temperatures may fluctuate, both Art Pro and Icrystal maintain their reliable finish and clarity. Projects like hand-poured jewellery or custom décor especially benefit from these resins’ forgiving handling and dependable results in less-controlled environments.
