← Back to Which thinner should be used for epoxy paint?


If you’re considering using Art Pro Deluxe resin for your artistic projects, you might wonder if it’s possible or beneficial to thin this ultra-high viscosity resin. Let’s explore how to work with this product for the best results.
Why Thinning Isn’t Recommended
Art Pro Deluxe is specifically formulated with an ultra-high viscosity, providing artists with precise control and sharply defined lines. Thinning this resin—notably by adding solvents or other substances—will undermine its ability to prevent unwanted colour mixing and may compromise its clarity, curing consistency, and finish. For gallery-quality results and the distinctive glossy surface, always use Art Pro Deluxe as supplied.


Tips for Best Application Results
- Mix with care: Follow the manufacturer’s mixing instructions, ensuring components are blended evenly for optimum clarity and durability.
- Ideal use cases: This resin is perfect for glossy finish layers, detailed resin art, coasters, and trays where line definition is critical.
- Apply with control: Because of its high viscosity, it resists spreading and mixing—apply with a brush or a spatula if desired, without worrying about colours running together.
- For a lower viscosity alternative for thin layers, Art Pro Clear Epoxy Resin is an excellent choice.
When This Matters Most
Artists seeking crisp lines and separation of colours in techniques like geode effects, layered pours, or ocean waves will benefit most from using Art Pro Deluxe as is. Attempting to thin the resin may lead to blurred lines and loss of definition, defeating its main artistic advantage.
