Each set includes 4 or 6 harmoniously selected shades, and the pigments are fully compatible with epoxy-based resins.
Professional results also hinge on your wave effects. Wave-Pro pigment additive disperses resin naturally to form convincing cell patterns and foam—no torch or heat required. It’s safe, solvent-free, and suitable for combining with any of our pourable artist resins.
If you crave vivid compositions with perfectly rendered movement, try pairing Art Pro Deluxe or Art Pro with the Marine Palette dyes and Wave-Pro—the ultimate line-up for dynamic ocean-inspired creations.
Expert Tips for Vivid Seascape Resin Art
When pouring ocean effects, use Art Pro Deluxe for the first wave layers, then highlight with the Marine Palette’s vibrant hues. Add Wave-Pro pigment in the top layers—this triggers beautiful, foamy waves without a torch.
Test on offcuts before your main pour to dial in your ratio and colour intensity—the secret to lifelike depth and motion in resin seascapes.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does the "Sea" resin kit differ from using separate resins and pigments?
The "Sea" kit includes everything—thick epoxy resin, pigment pastes in ocean colours, Wave-Pro powder, and a primed canvas—designed for easy and cohesive seascape creation without sourcing separate items.
What makes ultra-high viscosity resin best for ocean wave effects?
High viscosity resins, such as Art Pro Deluxe, maintain distinct lines and prevent colours from blending unintentionally. This is essential for achieving crisp waves and depth in ocean art.
Can I use Wave-Pro additive with any resin?
Wave-Pro is formulated for use with epoxy resins. It is not suitable for UV resins due to compatibility and thickness differences.
Are marine dyes suitable for colouring UV resin?
The Marine Palette dyes are designed for epoxy resin. While colouring UV resin is possible, only epoxy resin will build the layered, thick ocean effects typical of seascapes.
How do Art Pro and Art Pro Deluxe differ?
Art Pro Deluxe offers higher viscosity for line control; Art Pro has a medium viscosity for glass-like finishes. Both provide UV protection and clarity but suit slightly different application styles.
Is Art Pro suitable for coating kitchen worktops or just art?
Art Pro is recommended for thicker coatings (over 1.5 mm) and delivers a durable, scratch-resistant surface ideal for art and functional surfaces such as worktops.
