← Back to How to build a resin landscape?

Resin landscapes can remain beautifully clear for years if you select the right materials and take the necessary precautions. Yellowing is a common concern, but it can be minimised with some simple choices.
Why Does Resin Yellow?
Epoxy and other resins are prone to yellowing through long-term exposure to sunlight and UV rays. Over time, even indoor pieces can shift in colour due to ambient UV exposure. The type and quality of resin you use is the most important factor in keeping your project looking fresh and clear.
Choosing UV-Resistant Resins
For the best prevention against yellowing, opt for products with advanced UV filters explicitly designed for clarity and longevity. For deep-pour landscapes, Epoxytable 10-Ten and EpoxyTable 5-Five are excellent options, as both are formulated to resist discolouration. If you’re just starting out and want a guided approach, consider a complete kit like the “River-Table” set, which includes not only resin but also pigments and instructions for best results.
Practical Steps for Clarity
- Store finished pieces away from persistent direct sunlight, especially windowsills and conservatories.
- If possible, display or use artwork indoors and occasionally rotate items to limit one-sided UV exposure.
- Clean resin surfaces gently with a soft, damp cloth—avoid harsh chemicals which may degrade the surface over time.
When Yellowing Prevention Really Matters
UV resistance is particularly important for larger furniture pieces such as resin tables, countertops, or any display items intended for well-lit rooms. Investing in a quality, UV-filtered resin early will help maintain both the aesthetic and structural integrity of your work.
