If you’re working with Art Pro or Art Pro Deluxe resin, getting the mixing ratio right is crucial for successful, glossy results in your creative projects. Here’s what you need to know about measuring and mixing these popular artist resins.
The Correct Mixing Ratio Explained
Both Art Pro and Art Pro Deluxe require a simple 3:2 mixing ratio by weight. This means you should use three parts of resin (component A) to two parts of hardener (component B). Using scales rather than relying on volume ensures you achieve a consistent blend and proper curing every time.
Tips for Accurate Measuring and Mixing
- Always use digital scales for precise measurements.
- Mix the resin and hardener thoroughly for several minutes, ensuring no streaks remain.
- Work on a flat, level surface and avoid mixing too quickly to minimise air bubbles.
- Scrape the sides and bottom of your mixing container for an even blend.
Accurate mixing not only ensures a smooth, glossy finish but also prevents issues like soft spots, sticky surfaces, or incomplete cures in your artwork.
When This Matters
The correct 3:2 mixing ratio is particularly important for detailed work like coasters, trays, geode effects, and layered coatings. Even small errors can impact finished clarity and durability, so always take care when measuring and mixing your materials.
