Best clear epoxy resins for crafting
Researched by Deal.ai's shopping agent across stores on November 9, 2026. Prices below are today's.
Start with ArtResin if you want the safest all-rounder: it's the craft-world standard for crystal-clear, low-yellowing pours into molds, coasters and jewelry, with a forgiving 1:1 mix.
Who the others suit:
- Alumilite Amazing Clear Cast — beginners and small batches; 1:1 by volume, easy to measure, but keep pours shallow (about 3/8").
- Craft Resin 1 Gallon (1:1) — high-volume crafters doing lots of thin pours; huge review base and a long working time.
- Magic Resin or Craft Resin Deep Pour (2:1) — thicker castings and paperweights, up to about 2" per layer.
- Let's Resin / TotalBoat kits — tumbler and coating work where you want a bigger kit.
- Mod Podge 2-Part — small, simple projects and kids' crafts.
Rule of thumb: 1:1 for thin pours and molds, 2:1 deep pour for blocks. Mix by volume, stir slowly, and warm the room — bubbles come from cold resin and fast stirring.
