Choosing the Right Resin for Coating Surfaces

Epoxy Resin Options for Art and Tabletops

When high-gloss clarity and durability are priorities, an epoxy resin like Art Pro is a trusted favourite. It is formulated for artist-grade projects and furniture coatings, offering excellent clarity and a scratch-resistant, UV-filtered finish. Its 3:2 mix ratio and self-levelling formula help you achieve smooth, even layers that showcase your artistic detail or table surface. For most coatings, a minimum layer thickness of 1.5 mm is recommended to ensure optimal curing and protection.

When to Consider Heat Resistance

Regular epoxy resins deliver outstanding finishes but may not withstand frequent exposure to high temperatures. If your project involves hot items (like mugs or cookware), a heat-resistant option such as Heat Pro can offer added confidence. This polyurethane-based coating is designed for enhanced heat tolerance and scratch resistance, making it suitable for coasters or decorative trays that will see regular use.

Buying and Application Guidance

• Choose Art Pro for general art pieces, trays, and classic tabletops requiring a glass-like finish and UV protection.
• Opt for Icrystal when an odourless, easy-mix epoxy is desired, especially for slightly thicker applications or where surface clarity is essential.
• Pick Heat Pro for surfaces likely to encounter hot objects, such as coasters and select table areas.

Always follow manufacturer instructions for mixing ratios, safety precautions, and environmental conditions to achieve the best results.
