Which Epoxy Resin Should I Buy for Tables vs. Art Projects?

Choosing Epoxy Resin for Tables

For tables, resilience and scratch resistance are top priorities. Look for a resin formulated for furniture surfaces, like Icrystal – Clear Epoxy Resin. This type of epoxy offers excellent clarity, high scratch resistance, and contains UV filters that help reduce discolouration over time. For river tables or projects requiring deep pours, opt for a specialist deep-casting resin such as “Epoxytable 10-Ten”, suitable for thicknesses up to 10cm in a single pour. Always ensure your chosen product matches the thickness and scale of your project for best results.

Best Epoxy for Art and Jewellery

Artworks and jewellery benefit from a clear, multipurpose epoxy with reliable flow and minimal odour. “Trasparente” Multipurpose Clear Epoxy Resin pours well in thinner layers (up to 2cm), making it ideal for embedding pieces, small sculptures, or coating creative surfaces. Its clarity and ease of use help enhance the vibrancy of colours, preserving your artistic details. These resins also suit crafts using wood, glass, stone, or metal where clarity and adhesion are important.

When Resin Selection Matters Most

• Deep pours: Use dedicated deep pour resins for table projects exceeding 2cm thickness.
• Surface strength: Furniture and utilitarian objects need high scratch resistance.
• Detail work: Jewellery and detailed art require clear, self-levelling resins that are easy to mix and pour.
