Whether you are an artisan investing in exquisite jewellery or a maker working on river tables or creative keepsakes, the choice of resin can determine the clarity, durability and success of your embedded object projects. This page compares specialist epoxies for embedding small, intricate items through to large objects in deep castings, to help you select the perfect resin for your needs.

Overview: Key Differences Between Embedding Resins

Choosing the right resin for embedding objects depends primarily on the thickness of your project, the level of detail, clarity required, and the nature of the objects to be preserved. The range includes high-clarity, bubble-resistant resins for delicate moulds (up to 1 cm), multi-purpose clear epoxies suitable for layers up to 2 cm, robust deep pour resins for 5 cm and 10 cm pours, all with strong UV protection and anti-yellowing guarantees to preserve your work for years. Refer to this section to match your project needs with suitable products and advanced features such as working time and resistance to yellowing.

Comparing Resins for Clarity and Embedding Depth

Ultra-clear formula resins maintain visibility of embedded objects, while low viscosity and long working time help create bubble-free results, even for large or intricate items.

Tips for Successful Embedding and Choosing the Right Resin

The thickness of your pour is the most important factor in resin selection. For projects above 5 cm, opt for super low-viscosity, deep pour resins to control heat and avoid yellowing. Where fine detail is needed or skilled layering is required, prioritise products that allow long working time and self-levelling finish. Always check the resin’s UV stability to ensure your preserved objects do not fade or yellow, especially in sunlight. When in doubt, explore our range of resins for tables and surfaces finishes or review our detailed FAQ for specific use cases.

Project Surfaces and Layering Considerations

Always work in controlled ambient temperatures. Pour in layers for thicker objects, and let each layer cure fully—select a top-selling epoxy to simplify the process and enhance project durability.
