Choosing the Right Resin by Project
Jewellery and Small Moulds
For jewellery and intricate mould work, the priorities are clarity, ease of use, and bubble minimisation. Low to medium viscosity ensures the resin flows into tiny details, while longer working times can be advantageous for careful work.
Liquidissima stands out for intricate creations, offering low viscosity and long working times. Its water-clear finish and air bubble resistance make it ideal for casting detailed or deep moulds (up to 1 cm).
One-2-One is popular with beginners and experienced crafters seeking a simple 1:1 mix and glossy finish. Its medium viscosity and non-toxic formula make it an accessible choice for jewellery, encapsulation, and decorative crafts.
If you need to complete small pieces quickly, ICreation offers a fast solution, with a demould time around 6 hours. This is ideal when time is critical and you need professional clarity.
Coatings and Table Tops
When working with larger surfaces like trays, tables, and countertops, the resin’s hardness, clarity, UV resistance, and ability to self-level are crucial. Products in this group also often carry extra scratch or heat resistance to ensure durability.
Art Pro is crafted for smooth, glass-like coatings and artistic surfaces. Its medium viscosity and 3:2 by weight mixing ratio create a hard, resilient surface—suited for coasters, trays, and decorative finishes where clarity and durability are both important.
For clear, professional-quality table or countertop coatings (up to 1.5cm), ICRYSTAL is a versatile choice, bringing together high scratch resistance, UV filtering, and an odourless, easy-to-mix formula.
Multipurpose Casting and Deep Pour Layers
If your project involves casting objects, layering up to 2 cm, or combining materials like wood and resin for artistic tables, opt for a purpose-built casting resin. Clarity, UV stability, and compatibility with various materials are key considerations.
The TRASPARENTE resin is formulated for crystal-clear finishes up to 2 cm per pour. Its self-levelling, ultra-clear finish and adaptability to materials like wood, silicone, and glass make it a strong choice for DIY, woodworking, and general casting.
Fast-Curing Resins
For projects that need quick turnaround, choosing a resin with rapid demould times can be a game-changer. Applications like market stall crafts or batch production benefit most from these formulas.
ICreation is purpose-built for speed, allowing demoulding within about 6 hours and full curing within 24 hours. Its clear, glossy surface still supports artistic flair without compromising on finish.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I choose the right epoxy resin for my project?
Consider the type and size of your project. For jewellery and small moulds, clarity and low viscosity are important. For table tops and larger coatings, prioritise hardness, scratch resistance, and thickness allowance per layer. Fast-curing resins are best for those needing to demould rapidly.
What’s the maximum thickness I can pour with each resin?
The maximum is product-dependent: “Liquidissima” is for up to 1 cm, “ICRYSTAL” allows 1.5 cm per layer, “TRASPARENTE” up to 2 cm, while thinner coatings are best suited to “Art Pro” and “One-2-One”. Always follow the guidelines to prevent overheating and ensure proper curing.
Which resins are best for minimising yellowing and UV exposure?
Most resins in our range, including “One-2-One”, “Art Pro”, “ICRYSTAL”, “TRASPARENTE”, and “ICreation”, are formulated with UV filters to reduce yellowing. For long-lasting clarity, select a product labelled with UV protection and use according to instructions.
How should resins be mixed – by weight or volume?
Mixing instructions vary: “One-2-One” is designed for 1:1 mixing by volume, while others like “Art Pro” require a 3:2 ratio by weight. Always check your product’s packaging for proper measuring and mixing instructions.
Can I use pigments or dyes with these resins?
Yes, most epoxies such as “Liquidissima” and “ICRYSTAL” are compatible with a wide range of pigments and dyes. This allows for creative colour effects without affecting the curing process if used within recommended concentrations.
What’s the difference between fast-curing and standard epoxies?
Fast-curing resins like “ICreation” enable rapid demoulding (around 6 hours), making them ideal for quick-turnaround crafts. Standard resins provide longer working times to perfect your piece but require a longer curing period for best strength and finish.
Are these resins safe for indoor use?
Most of our resins, such as “ICRYSTAL” and “TRASPARENTE”, are odourless, VOC-free, and non-toxic for typical craft environments. Still, always follow safety recommendations including the use of gloves, protective clothing, and working in a well-ventilated area.
What precautions should I take to prevent overheating or imperfections?
Avoid exceeding the recommended pour thickness for each product and do not cure in hot environments. Work on a flat surface, remove dust, and pop surface bubbles with a heat gun or torch if needed.
