Main Differences: Art Pro and One-2-One Resins

Mixing Ratio and Viscosity Differences

The primary distinction lies in their formulation. Art Pro resin requires a 3:2 mixing ratio by weight and has a medium to high viscosity, making it slightly thicker than One-2-One. This results in a more controlled pour and a sturdier, harder cured surface. One-2-One resin, on the other hand, features a simple 1:1 mixing ratio by volume and is lower in viscosity, ideal for easy blending and self-levelling applications where a thinner resin is preferred.

Finish, Durability, and Use Case

If your project needs a gloss-rich, durable coating—such as coasters or trays—Art Pro’s thicker formula provides enhanced scratch resistance and a robust surface. It is better suited for projects demanding longevity and UV protection. Art Pro is also a good choice for thinner surface layers or whenever added working time is needed.

One-2-One is favoured for applications where a quick, even, glossy coat is the goal, and less concern is placed on extreme surface hardness. Its glossier finish is popular with artists seeking a wet-look or working on larger, less intricate surfaces.

When This Matters Most

• Detailed finishing and surface protection: Choose Art Pro for scratch resistance and controlled application.
• Simple, high-gloss effects: Opt for One-2-One for a quick, glossy finish on art pieces or craft surfaces.
