Selecting the right type of resin dramatically affects your finished piece, whether you’re making delicate jewellery, an expressive artwork, or a robust resin table. Different projects benefit from specialised formulas tailored for their needs.
Choosing Resin for Jewellery & Small Crafts
Jewellery and small, detailed decorative pieces require a clear resin that is easy to mix, resistant to yellowing, and designed for a glossy finish. One-2-One Epoxy Resin stands out for its simple 1:1 volume mixing ratio and medium viscosity. This makes it user-friendly for both beginners and skilled crafters, delivering super-glossy, transparent results in personalised pendants, earrings, and cabochons.
- Easy equal-parts mixing reduces error.
- Glossier surface ideal for wearable art.
- Embedded UV filter for better clarity over time.
Best Resin for Artworks & Table Casting
For larger castings such as resin artwork panels or river tables, resin choice is key to obtaining strength and clarity in thicker layers. Trasparente Multipurpose Epoxy Resin has been designed for crystal-clear castings up to 2 cm thick in a single pour. It’s suitable for pouring into woodwork recesses, preserving objects, and creating deep, high-gloss effects in tables and art pieces.
- Specially formulated for up to 2 cm thick layers.
- Excellent self-levelling and clarity for smooth project finishes.
- Scratch-resistant for durable furniture and surfaces.
