The post ArtCast Epoxy Resin first appeared on The Little Art Shop.]]> This resin is an optically clear epoxy resin system formulated to produce clear laminates, coats, linings etc with good UV stability.
It is commonly used to make jewellery, preserve items, seal/protect artwork, paintings, sculptures etc.
It is easy to use, cures at ambient temperature and is self-levelling.
The resin is non-flammable, odour-free and has no solvent content.

Coverage –  (applied 0.5 mm thick) 1 m² per 0.5 liter mixed resin (based on a self-levelling layer 0.5mm thick).
Mixing ratio – by volume 1:1
The mixing ratio must be accurately followed. It is not possible to change the ratio. This would result in lower mechanical properties and the resin not drying properly. The mixture should be thoroughly stirred (mix for 3-4 mins) to ensure full homogeneity. Epoxy systems tend to heat up much faster in a pot than as a thin film. Therefore mix only the necessary amount usable within the given pot life.
