Step 1: Prepare the Wall Surface

A meticulous preparation of the surface is crucial for a flawless resin wall finish. Start by removing any flaking paint, grease, or dust using mild detergent and warm water. Allow the wall to dry thoroughly, as moisture can affect adhesion. For uneven surfaces or damaged walls—especially those made of wood—sand them down until smooth, filling any cracks with an appropriate filler. If you are working with wood, consider applying “EpoxyWood” – Wood Restoration Epoxy Resin for Deep Penetration and Waterproofing to seal, reinforce, and waterproof the substrate before continuing.

Protect adjacent surfaces, skirting boards, and floors using masking tape and drop sheets to avoid accidental resin spills. Adequate ventilation is recommended during preparation and application.

Step 3: Apply the Resin to the Wall

Once mixed, apply the resin immediately using a wide spatula, trowel, or spreader in upward strokes, working in manageable sections. “Vertical Glass” – Thick Resin Decorative Wall Coating is specifically formulated for vertical and sloping applications, ensuring the coating stays in place without dripping or sagging. Aim for an even, thin coat to cover the surface, pushing the resin into tiles, brickwork, cement, or previously-sealed wood. Overlay additional resin while the previous layer remains slightly tacky for seamless coverage if a thicker result is desired.

Apply resin in thin, even layers to prevent sagging and achieve a professional look with well-defined patterns.

Tips, Common Mistakes, and Troubleshooting

Ensure the wall is clean, stable, and free from moisture, as contaminants or damp may cause adhesion issues and imperfections. Work systematically to eliminate air bubbles during mixing and avoid overworking the resin once on the wall, as this can introduce marks.

Customise your finish with tints or metallic pigments for a distinctive effect, but avoid using incompatible colourants like water-based dyes. If drips or sags occur, sand flat once cured and reapply a thin layer as needed. Always check the manufacturer’s guidelines for best results.
