Using “iCrystal” Odourless Clear Epoxy Resin on Acrylic-Painted Canvas

← Back to Which resins should be used to cover a canvas painted with acrylic paint?

Choosing the right resin to coat an acrylic-painted canvas is essential for preserving colour, adding gloss, and achieving a smooth, professional finish. “iCrystal” clear epoxy resin stands out for its odourless formula and easy handling, making it popular among artists for surface coatings.

Key Features of iCrystal Epoxy Resin

iCrystal is designed to deliver impeccable clarity, with a finish reminiscent of liquid crystal. Its odourless and VOC-free composition ensures a more pleasant working experience, especially in indoor environments. This resin is suitable for layers up to 1.5cm, and the 2:1 mixing ratio makes for straightforward preparation. With added UV protection and good scratch resistance, it helps to maintain the vibrancy of your artwork over time.

Preparation and Application Tips

Before applying iCrystal over acrylic paint, ensure your painting is fully dried and free from dust or grease. Work on a horizontal surface for best results. Mix the resin thoroughly according to the 2:1 ratio, and pour gently starting from the centre of the canvas. Use a spreader or a gloved hand to distribute evenly and allow air bubbles to rise; a heat gun on a low setting can help release them. Maintain adequate ventilation, and allow at least 24 hours for curing undisturbed.

When This Matters Most

Using an odourless, clear resin such as iCrystal is especially important for indoor studios or shared spaces where strong smells are a concern. Its compatibility with various surfaces, including canvas, makes it ideal for artists and crafters seeking professional results without compromise.
