Which epoxy resin should you choose?

Which epoxy resin should you choose?

Each type of project you are going to create needs its own epoxy resin with special characteristics, that’s why there are so many of them: resin for artworks (Resin Art), resin for jewellery, resin for castings, resin for coatings (protective / glossy layer), etc. Moreover, for each application there may be several types of epoxy resin at once, each of which is suitable for a particular technique. Which epoxy resin to choose? Let’s figure this out with Resin Pro epoxy resins!

Trasparente: jewellery, decorations, transparent coasters, deep castings

Transparent epoxy resin

This epoxy resin was originally developed for 1 mm and more thick coatings and castings up to 2 cm thick: countertops, trays and other furniture. However, it is also suitable for making jewellery and other decor: crystal transparency, excellent resistance to yellowing and no air bubbles formula allow this.

Product surface: smooth, glossy

Recommended for: creating jewellery (pendants, rings, earrings, crystals, etc.), decoration, transparent coasters and trays with decor (for example, with dried flowers), wood-working, creating furniture and glossy coating.

Icrystal: high quality DIY epoxy resin at an affordable price

Transparent epoxy resin

Water effect epoxy resin system with high performance for use in thin layers (1.5 mm) and a thickness of up to 2 cm. In addition to the high transparency and the self-levelling properties, it guarantees good mechanical sealing for reinforcements and applications with carbon fiber.

Art Pro: Resin Art coasters and trays, artworks, Petri Art, glossy finish layer (coating)

Transparent epoxy resin

Art Pro Deluxe: ultra-viscous resin for Resin Art

Transparent epoxy resin

If you are looking for the most viscous resin for Resin Art, you have come to the right place! It is ideal for creating artworks and panels in the “Ocean Art”, “Space Art”, “Geode”, “Northern Lights” and other techniques. This resin is only recommended for surface application, as the high viscosity makes it harder to get rid of air bubbles in the mould castings.

Heat Pro: Anti-Scratch Heat Resistant Coating

Transparent epoxy resin

Protective material specially designed to cover surfaces with a thin layer of 1-5 mm: gives the surface resistance to hot objects (up to 200 C), as well as non-critical scratches. It also enhances the protection of epoxy resin castings against yellowing. Over time, it does not crack and does not peel off the surface.

Odor: odorless

Viscosity: liquid

Conditions: it is recommended to work at room temperature with low humidity

Pot life*: 15 min

Full curing: 24 hours (however coating only gets heat and scratch protection after 48 hours)

Product strength: very high

Product surface: smooth, glossy, slightly “rubberized” to the touch, so it cannot be sanded and polished

Recommended for: covering coasters, trays, countertops and other surfaces that need protection from hot objects and scratches (regular epoxy resin melts from objects with temperatures above 70 C). However, this product has some peculiarities in its work: it cannot be applied to all materials, except for transparent epoxy resin without additives and dyes. This means that if your surface material is wood, stone, plastic, etc., or a coloured epoxy resin, then the surface must be coated with the transparent layer of any of our classic resins: Trasparente, Art Pro or Art Pro Deluxe. Be sure to let it harden (24 hours) and then Heat Pro coating can be applied.

* – the term “pot life” means the time period from the moment the resin components are mixed until the moment when it begins to thicken (gradually harden). In fact, this is the time of working with the material.

Vertical Glass: unique ultra-thick resin for vertical and other surfaces

The main feature of this material is its extremely high viscosity, which is why this resin does not flow at all and keeps the texture that you make manually with spatula, roller, brush or any other toll!

Colour: transparent, with barely noticeable small inclusions (thin layer) to slightly milky in a thicker layer

Odor: odorless

Viscosity: extremely thick

Conditions: it is recommended to work at room temperature with low humidity

Pot life*: 30-50 min

Full curing: 24-36 hours

Product strength: very high

Product surface: glossy, hard

Recommended for: creating a texture pattern on vertical, inclined and horizontal surfaces: walls, art-boards, etc.; decorating various objects: vases, figurines, furniture, paintings, candlesticks, etc.; other creative applications: it all depends on your imagination!

  1. Hello what would be the best resin to coat a gemstone, I want to basically paint a gemstone with beach sand from my honeymoon.

    1. Good afternoon!
      We recommend using medium viscosity resin “Art-pro”.
