A high-quality resin paint finish can keep your artwork or functional pieces looking fresh for years, but a few simple steps will help ensure your results last as long as possible. Let’s explore the best habits for keeping your resin-coated surfaces in great condition.
Proper Application Is Key
Always follow the manufacturer’s application instructions, including mixing times, ratios, and recommended curing temperatures. Ensure your workspace is free from humidity and dust to avoid unwanted blemishes. Using a resin such as Art Pro Deluxe, designed for excellent UV resistance and scratch protection, provides a solid foundation for a long-lasting finish.
Gentle Cleaning and Care
Once your resin paint has cured fully, keep cleaning routines simple. Soft, damp cloths and mild soap should suffice for general cleaning. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive pads, as these can dull the surface or introduce fine scratches over time. If your piece is functional—like a tray or coaster—a little extra care goes a long way in maintaining clarity and gloss.
Sunlight and Heat Management
Resin finishes can be sensitive to ongoing exposure to sunlight and heat. Whenever possible, display or store resin-coated pieces away from direct sun and avoid placing hot items directly on the surface. Products with integrated UV filters, such as those in the Art Pro range, are especially helpful for resisting discolouration, but some discolouration may occur with prolonged intense UV exposure.
When These Precautions Matter Most
- For artwork displayed in bright rooms or shop windows
- For coasters, tableware, and kitchen surfaces exposed to hot drinks and cleaning
- For frequently handled objects such as trays and decorative accessories
