Each type of project may require a specific kind of resin. For instance, table pours need deep-cast resin for thickness, whilst jewellery benefits from a resin with enhanced clarity and a simpler mixing ratio. Kits designed for beginners include instructions and tools tailored to their end use, so it’s helpful to select a resin set aligned with your project goals.
