What Resin Works for Jewellery and Art Casting?

Resin Types for Jewellery and Art Casting

For small, clear, and detailed pieces—like pendants, charms, or embedded objects—look for resins that are specifically designed for clarity and low levels of bubbles. “Trasparente” epoxy resin is ideal for casting up to 2 cm thick. If your projects are even more delicate or require odourless workspaces, “Icrystal” offers an ultra-clear, non-toxic, and odour-free solution for up to 1.5 cm thickness per layer.

Working Within Thickness Limits

Most jewellery and art castings are less than 2 cm thick, making the specialised clear formulation of “Trasparente” a popular choice. For slightly deeper pours—such as medium-sized sculptures or keepsake items—”EpoxyTable 5-Five” supports stable casting between 2 and 5 cm, but is most suitable for larger art or functional pieces rather than detailed jewellery.

• Stick to recommended layer thickness to avoid overheating or cloudiness.
• Mix carefully and pour slowly to minimise bubbles in your piece.

Practical Tips for Success

Always read the instructions for mixing ratios and curing times. Work in a dust-free environment and use gloves to keep both your creation and hands protected. If you need a truly glass-like clarity for pieces under 2 cm, opt for “Trasparente” or “Icrystal”. When pouring thicker layers (over 2 cm), consider using “EpoxyTable 5-Five” for stability—just remember it’s better suited to less detailed, larger works.
