Resins

Resin is a clear, highly durable substance great for coating and casting and creating a smooth, glass-like surface.

Are you a wood artist, avid jewellery, model or ornament maker, or love 3D printing? Resin is a highly versatile material great for so many applications. Our Coating Resin is ideal for coating or protecting art pieces and on glass, wood, ceramic, metal, fabric and canvas. Casting Resin is super for moulding and creating paperweights, coasters, ‘river’ tables, flooring and countertops, so glass, wood, fabric and canvas surfaces.

We sell two types of resin. And each resin comes in two parts: resin + hardener. All you need to do is stir both together and you will have a robust, high clarity coating with a super gloss finish. The formula is self-levelling, high quality and will not yellow or scratch.

Want to add some magic to your resin, but would rather experiment with different smart materials first? This page also holds a plethora of colourful packs to help you find out which is right for your resin project. These include glow in the dark pigments and pearlescent pigments that will make your finished piece shine!

Purchase these smart pigments and powders individually: metallic pigments, pearlescent and fluorescent pigments.
