← Back to How do you apply resin on tiles?

Choosing the right resin is essential for achieving a decorative, long-lasting topcoat on tiles. The ideal choice will provide a smooth, artistic finish with reliable UV protection.
Why Art Pro is the Leading Choice
If you want a crisp, glass-like topcoat that brings your tile artwork to life, Art Pro epoxy resin stands out. Designed specifically for artists and crafters, it creates a high-gloss, clear surface that enhances colour details and resists scratches. Art Pro’s medium viscosity makes it easy to control, allowing precise application even on vertical or intricate tile designs.
Priming and Surface Preparation
To ensure strong adhesion of your artistic topcoat, proper priming is essential, especially on ceramic or glazed tiles. Applying a layer of Epoxyprimer creates a stable foundation, helping the resin bond securely with the tile surface. This water-based, odourless primer is suitable for indoor use and compatible with both epoxy and decorative finishes.
Application Tips for Artistic Results
- Mix the resin according to its 3:2 ratio for Art Pro, ensuring no unmixed spots remain.
- Pour or brush on the resin in layers from 1 to 10 mm for optimal clarity and effect.
- Use a heat gun or torch gently to remove surface bubbles for a flawless finish.
- Allow at least 12–24 hours to cure before handling or displaying your tiles.
When This Matters
Opting for an artistic topcoat is especially useful when you want to protect hand-painted, decoupage, or tile mosaic designs while adding a professional, high-gloss finish that lasts.
