Choosing the correct epoxy resin can make all the difference to your wood or art project. Here’s a detailed look at the distinctions between Art Pro and Art Pro Deluxe so you can select the right one for your artistic needs.
Understanding Viscosity and Application
The main difference between Art Pro and Art Pro Deluxe lies in their viscosity. Art Pro Deluxe features an ultra-high viscosity, meaning it is much thicker than standard resins. This makes it ideal for detailed applications such as resin art, geode effects, and ocean waves, as it stays where you put it and resists running or unwanted mixing—especially on vertical or uneven wood surfaces.
Art Pro, on the other hand, has a medium viscosity that flows more freely. It’s well-suited for clear, glossy coatings over large or flat surfaces like trays, coasters, and tables, allowing the resin to self-level easily.
How to Choose for Your Project
- Choose Art Pro Deluxe if you need precise control, want to achieve crisp line definition, or are working on pieces with raised textures or vertical surfaces. Its thickness helps prevent drips and is perfect for artistic applications.
- Choose Art Pro if your main goal is a smooth, even, glossy finish across a wider area—great for sealing wood or creating a protective topcoat with minimal hassle.
Both can be applied using rollers, with tools like the Resin & Paint Application Rollers helping achieve optimal results on wood or art boards.
When the Difference Matters Most
The choice between Art Pro and Art Pro Deluxe becomes especially important when working on vertical surfaces or intricate artwork where control is vital. For basic topcoats or general surface protection, Art Pro is usually sufficient, but for creative designs and detailed finishes, Art Pro Deluxe offers that extra level of consistency and sharpness.
