Product spotlights: Features and use cases of leading resins

Permeable outdoor solutions:

The “Flowstone” – Complete Permeable Floor Kit with Pebbles and Resin excels for driveways, footpaths, and patios, especially in the UK’s variable climate. This kit offers a professionally engineered, permeable floor system that prevents water puddles and surface flooding, while allowing customisation through a choice of colours and granule sizes. With straightforward step-by-step guidance, it is suitable for both DIY enthusiasts and commercial applications.

For creative and furniture projects:

The “River-Table” – Complete Kit for Creating Your First Epoxy Resin Table is the go-to option for those wishing to craft distinctive wood-and-resin tables. The kit includes everything from crystal-clear resin and pigments to a polishing kit and comprehensive instructions. This makes it accessible for both beginners and experienced makers aiming for a modern look and guided results.

For ultra-clear casting, the “Trasparente” – Multipurpose Clear Epoxy Resin for Casting – Up to 2cm is fit for visible, scratch-resistant surfaces such as decorative objects, memorial jewellery, and restoration tasks. Its built-in UV filter means your work remains bright and clear for years, with resistance to yellowing backed by a 10-year warranty.

Artistic and surface coatings:

The “Art Pro” – Clear Epoxy Resin for Artists and Surface Coating and its high-viscosity sibling “Art Pro Deluxe” – Ultra-High Viscosity Epoxy Resin for Artists deliver the clarity, UV stability, and surface durability required for stunning art resin pieces, coasters, trays, and more. “Art Pro Deluxe” is especially suitable for intricate art like waves and geode effects, as its thick consistency maintains sharp line definitions and minimises colour bleed.

Smoothing your process:

Achieve flawless mixing with the Anti Bubble Mixer for Epoxy Resin – Reusable Mixing Tool. This reusable, eco-friendly accessory gently stirs the resin, reducing bubbles, and helping every project attain a professional-grade finish.

What to consider when selecting a professional permeable resin

Making the right selection involves matching your project’s requirements to resin properties:

  • Application thickness: Some resins, like “Trasparente”, are optimised for thin layers (up to 2cm), while others, such as in the “River-Table” kit, allow for 2cm or 5cm pours.
  • Finish and clarity: For a crystal-clear, glass-like top surface, look to “Art Pro” and “Art Pro Deluxe”. If deeper casting or embedding is the goal, “Trasparente” excels.
  • Permeability and drainage: Only specialised kits like “Flowstone” are engineered for drainage and outdoor exposure, making them the prime choice for driveways and rain-prone pathways.
  • Ease of mixing and eco-friendliness: Reduce waste and air bubbles with the Anti Bubble Mixer for Epoxy Resin for all your projects—its reusable design benefits you and the environment.
  • UV and scratch resistance: For outdoor or high-traffic areas, ensure your resin has adequate filtration and hardness, as guaranteed by “Trasparente”, “Art Pro”, and “Art Pro Deluxe”.
  • Beginner or professional use: Kits like “River-Table” offer a step-by-step, all-in-one approach, while individual resins and accessories suit those seeking more flexibility and control.

Always follow the manufacturer’s guidelines regarding mixing ratios, recommended application thickness, and curing conditions, as these factors are critical to both appearance and lifespan of your finished project.

Frequently Asked Questions
