Epoxy Resin for Resin Art
Craft Resin Arts and Crafts Epoxy Resin is a crystal-clear, transparent epoxy resin for resin art, jewelry, coasters, trays, small molds, canvas coating, and DIY craft projects. Designed for a smooth, high-gloss finish, it helps artists and makers create durable, professional-looking pieces with excellent clarity.
The easy 1:1 mix ratio and self-leveling formula make this resin simple to use, while its low odor and bubble-release properties support a cleaner, more enjoyable crafting experience. Once cured, it forms a transparent, glossy finish that protects and enhances your artwork.
Use this two part epoxy resin for art and craft applications where clarity, transparency, gloss, and durability matter. For thick pours or deep molds, we recommend using Craft Resin Deep Pour Epoxy Resin.
What Size Epoxy Resin Kit Should I Choose?
All Craft Resin Arts & Crafts kits use the same crystal-clear 1:1 epoxy formula. The only difference is the amount of resin and hardener included. Choose a smaller kit for occasional projects or a larger kit if you craft regularly, make products in batches, or run workshops.

Product specifications
Craft Resin Arts and Crafts Epoxy Resin is a 1:1 two-part epoxy system with a recommended pour depth of 6 mm, a 35-minute working time at 25 °C, and a 24-hour hard cure. These parameters make it suitable for controlled art and craft applications where clarity, surface quality, and working time are important.
For best results, follow the recommended mixing ratio, avoid pours deeper than the stated layer depth, and allow the resin to cure fully before handling, using, or exposing the finished piece to heat or food contact.

FAQ
Can I use epoxy resin on canvas, wood, photos, or artwork?
Yes. Epoxy resin can be used to coat canvas, wood, photos, and finished artwork to create a glossy, protective surface. Make sure the surface is clean, dry, level, and properly sealed if needed before pouring resin
How do you mix Craft Resin epoxy resin?
Mix Craft Resin Arts and Crafts Epoxy Resin at a 1:1 ratio by volume. Measure equal parts resin and hardener, mix slowly and thoroughly, and scrape the sides and bottom of the mixing cup to make sure both parts are fully combined.
Is epoxy resin for art water-resistant?
Yes. Once fully cured, epoxy resin creates a hard, water-resistant surface that helps protect resin art, coasters, trays, jewellery, and other craft projects from moisture. However, finished pieces should not be soaked in water for long periods or placed in a dishwasher unless the product instructions specifically allow it
What is the working time for Craft Resin Arts and Crafts Epoxy Resin?
Craft Resin Arts and Crafts Epoxy Resin has a working time of around 35 minutes at 25°C; larger mixes give less time. This means you should mix, colour, pour, and adjust your resin within this time before it starts to thicken and cure. Work in a clean, dry, temperature-controlled space for the best results
Can epoxy resin be coloured?
Yes. Epoxy resin can be coloured with compatible resin pigments, mica powder, alcohol inks, and other resin-safe colourants. Always add colourants gradually and avoid adding too much, as this can affect curing and final clarity
How do you remove bubbles from epoxy resin?
To reduce bubbles, mix slowly, avoid whipping air into the resin, let the mixed resin sit briefly before pouring, and pour in a clean, warm workspace. After pouring, bubbles can usually be removed with a heat gun or torch, used carefully and briefly
Is epoxy resin suitable for incidental food contact?
Arts & Crafts is suitable for incidental food contact once fully cured. Always let the resin cure completely before using finished pieces such as trays or coasters. This does not extend to food storage, prolonged contact, cutting surfaces, drinking vessels, serving hot food or dishwasher use.
Where can I buy epoxy resin for art?
You can buy Craft Resin Arts and Crafts Epoxy Resin directly from this category page in different kit sizes. Choose the size based on your project type, surface area, and whether you are making small crafts, resin art, coasters, trays, or multiple pieces
How much epoxy resin do I need for my project?
The amount of epoxy resin you need depends on your project size, surface area, and pour depth. For coatings and resin art, measure the length and width of the surface, then keep each pour within the recommended layer depth. For moulds, calculate the mould volume before mixing so you can prepare enough resin without unnecessary waste. You can also use our resin calculator to estimate how much epoxy resin you need for your project.
