Craftiviti Clear Epoxy Resin is a two-part, high-gloss epoxy resin made in Italy. It is mixed at 2 parts resin to 1 part hardener by weight. When fully cured, it forms a glass-clear, hard, enamel-like surface.
The formula is low-odour and ZERO VOC. It is made to give smooth results with minimal shrinkage and bubbles when properly measured, mixed and poured. The cured resin resists moisture and a range of chemicals. Work in a well-ventilated area and use protective equipment when handling the resin and hardener.
Use it for resin art, jewellery, coasters, silicone mould casting, wood and river table-style projects, pseudo-marble designs, protective coatings and other small craft projects. To use it, weigh the parts on a digital scale and stir slowly for about 1 to 2 minutes, scraping the sides and bottom of the container. Pour slowly into the mould, remove visible bubbles with a toothpick, and cover the project to keep dust out while it cures. Mica powder, resin pigment, thermochromic pigment or glow-in-the-dark powder can be added to the mix.
