What Resin Gives Body for Raised Resin Art?

Choosing the Right Resin for Raised Effects

For distinct and dimensional resin art on metal, an ultra-high viscosity resin is the top choice. Art Pro Deluxe stands out for its thick consistency, allowing you to create raised details that don’t flatten or bleed together. This property prevents unwanted colour migration, meaning layered effects, geode textures and crisp separation of hues are achievable—even on smooth or vertical metal surfaces.

Application Tips for Sharp, Defined Designs

When working on metal, ensure the surface is clean and dry before applying your resin. Use a palette knife, silicone brush or squeeze bottle to guide the resin precisely where you want it. Apply slowly to control line thickness, and consider working in stages if your design has multiple colours or elevated elements. The self-levelling qualities of high-viscosity resins like Art Pro Deluxe enable a glossy finish while maintaining the desired height of your details.

When High Viscosity Matters Most

• Crafting layered, multi-coloured designs where sharp borders are needed
• Building texture or relief in geode art, waves, or abstract patterns
• Working on vertical or inclined metal surfaces—higher viscosity prevents running
