One of the most common questions for new resin artists is which type of resin to choose. The 3D Effects Coasters Masterclass begins with a clear overview of the different resins suitable for coaster-making and why choosing the right epoxy resin is key for functional and artistic results.
Types of Epoxy Resin Explained
The masterclass covers the fundamentals of epoxy resins best adapted for casting projects such as coasters and trays. You’ll learn about the properties of standard epoxy resins—like clarity, working time, and viscosity—so you can decide which one fits your particular project. The focus is on user-friendly formulas ideal for beginners, as opposed to specialised formulations needed for industrial use.


Selecting the Right Resin for Coaster Projects
Medium viscosity resins are generally recommended for coaster and tray crafts, offering a great balance for pouring into silicone moulds and creating details without excessive bubbles. For those keen on experimenting with effects or inclusions, the course also explains how to choose between different resin types and colouring methods based on your creative vision. All techniques are taught step-by-step, so there’s no need for prior experience.
- Mixing and pouring guidance helps prevent common pitfalls.
- Workspace and safety tips cover essential best practices.
When Resin Choice Matters Most
Your selection of resin matters most when you want durability, clarity, or when adding special effects like webbing or embedded items. If you intend your coasters for everyday use, ensuring compatibility with moulds and simple handling can make a real difference.
