If you have no a lot of experience or you prefer to work with more liquid resin, please, check this Resin 👉🏽 ART PRO 2. If you prefer to do art-works in more viscosity resin, please, choose ART PRO DELUXE. But if it`s your first experience, we suggest to design your project before pouring, because, in this case you have short working-time (15-20 min). Due to its exceptionally high viscosity, our Deluxe epoxy resin is ideally suited for delicate casting projects, including ocean art, pour-art, and other creations that demand a resin with superior viscosity. When undertaking basic castings of 1-1.5cm, special care is needed to address bubble formation. We recommend a multi-layer approach for such castings, employing a heat gun after each application. For these projects, we suggest considering our lower viscosity resins - "Transparente" and "Art-Pro" - as the optimal solutions.

The coverage of a 0.5 kg kit is approximately 4 m2 Each kit includes dyes and pigment in sufficient quantity for the amount of resin required.   HOW TO CREATE YOUR MARBLE EFFECT WITH EPOXY Guide Instructions:  Step N1: Primer  Start by carefully measuring the amount needed to cover the surface based on the consumption of 150 g/m2, making sure to follow the proportions indicated to obtain a homogeneous mixture. Once the base has been prepared, proceed with adding the dye, choosing between white or black depending on your needs. The quantity of colourant to add to the mixture can be measured in a few drops (max 5% by volume). This step is crucial to achieve the desired colour and ensure uniformity of the application. Before applying the primer, it is essential that the surface intended for treatment is adequately prepared. Sand the surface with a coarse grit (40 or 60) before any operation. Make sure it's completely clean, using a soft cloth or brush to remove any pigment, dirt or debris. The surface must also be completely dry; residual humidity can compromise the adhesion of the primer and its effectiveness in sealing the surface.  Once the surface is ready, apply the mixture evenly, using a suitable tool such as a brush, roller or spatula, depending on the size of the area to be treated and your personal preference. The key is to get a thin, even layer that can cover the entire area without leaving gaps or excessive product buildup.. After application, it is essential to allow the primer to dry completely before proceeding with further treatments or finishes on the surface. The recommended waiting time is 12 hours; this range may vary slightly depending on environmental conditions, such as humidity and temperature, but offers a good compromise to ensure the mixture has time to dry and adhere properly. During this period, avoid touching or stressing the treated surface to ensure optimal results. Don't worry if you notice any discrepancies on the surface, the next main pour will level everything perfectly.  Step N2: application  Start by applying masking tape around the perimeter of your countertop to contain the epoxy you're about to pour. This step is essential to ensure the resin stays where it is needed. After applying the resin, wait about 1.5 hours before gently removing the tape. To ensure coverage is even and complete, plan to use approximately 1.6kg of resin for every square meter of surface area.  When you are ready to mix the resin, use a drill equipped with a paddle mixer for quick and even action (use at low speed), taking about 2 minutes for this operation. If you prefer to mix by hand, be prepared to take double the time. Don't forget to scrape the sides and bottom of the container halfway through the process with a stick to ensure all the material is mixed well. Next, separate the already mixed resin into different glasses and add the desired colours, mixing the different colours in the different glasses until you obtain an intense and uniform colour per single glass.  To create a striking visual effect, pour the coloured resin in random layers into a larger bucket, being careful not to mix the colours together too much. After filling the bucket, spread the contents over the surface of the worktop, leaving a small amount of resin aside to finish the edges later. To remove trapped air bubbles, gently run a propane torch or heat gun over the surface.   Once the adhesive tapes have been removed, approximately 1.5 hours after application, if there are any dry edges, moisten them slightly by wearing a protective glove to promote an even appearance. Use appropriate tools, such as spatulas or plastic scrapers, to spread and level the resin along the edges, making sure to cover the entire area well. After letting the resin cure for 24 hours, you can apply a clear top coat or PoliShield scratch-resistant paint to further protect the surface.  Finally, for even more refined visual effects, spray 99.9% isopropyl alcohol onto the surface just before the resin begins to fully harden. This will create unique lacy textures. Remember that when you remove the tape, it is essential that the resin is partially hardened, neither too liquid nor completely solid, to avoid unwanted drips.  Attention! Safety Guidelines for Using Isopropyl Alcohol (99.9%) Isopropyl alcohol (IPA) is a highly flammable substance. Improper use—especially near heat sources like torches or heat guns—can result in fire or explosion. To ensure safe use, follow these precautions: Primary Risks Highly flammable: IPA vapors can ignite from sparks, open flames, or hot surfaces. Forms explosive vapor-air mixtures, especially in enclosed or poorly ventilated spaces. Strictly Prohibited: Using gas torches or heat guns near areas treated with IPA. Spraying IPA near active heat sources. Storing IPA near flames, heaters, or hot tools. Recommended Safety Measures: 1. Ventilation: Always work in a well-ventilated area when using IPA. 2. Wait Time: After applying IPA, wait at least 5–10 minutes to allow complete evaporation before using any heat tools. 3. Safe Distance: Keep IPA containers at least 2 meters (6 feet) away from heat or flame sources. 4. Storage: Store IPA in a tightly sealed container, away from direct sunlight or high temperatures. 5. Fire Safety: Have a CO₂ or dry chemical fire extinguisher nearby when working with flammable substances and open flames. In Case of Fire: Do not use water to extinguish the fire. Use an appropriate extinguisher, cut off air supply if safe, and call emergency services if needed.

Can be used wet or dry for sanding almost any type of material, flat or contoured. 70 x 100 x 25mm. Bonded silicone carbide Bonded silicone carbide Use wet or dry For flat or contoured surfaces How to Use a Foam Sanding Block with Epoxy Resins Allow the Epoxy to Cure: Ensure that the epoxy resin has fully cured and hardened before sanding. This will prevent the resin from smearing or becoming uneven. Begin Sanding: Gently rub the foam sanding block over the epoxy surface in a back-and-forth or circular motion. Apply light, even pressure to avoid creating new scratches or uneven areas. Check Your Progress: Periodically wipe the surface with a clean, dry cloth to remove sanding dust and check the smoothness. This will help you gauge how much more sanding is needed. Clean the Surface: After achieving a smooth finish, clean the epoxy surface thoroughly to remove any remaining dust. This can be done with a damp cloth followed by a dry cloth to ensure no moisture remains. Inspect and Finish: Once the surface is clean and dry, inspect it to ensure it's free of imperfections. If needed, you can apply a new coat of resin or polish the surface for a glossy finish.

Create your personalized Sea Wave Effect!  The ideal kit for creating cup coasters, geodes, “Ocean Art” style paintings and artistic coatings of all kinds, creating a natural sea wave effect. The “Ocean Art” KIT includes colours, pigments, additives and a non-toxic powder that reacts with wet epoxy resins by repelling itself away, thereby stimulating movement in concentric outward circles and waves. Creates cells and waves in resin art Safe & user-friendly Odourless Non-toxic & non-flammable Zero-VOC formula with no harsh chemical ingredients, solvents or alcohol-based ink Ideal for Ocean Resin Art The “Ocean Art” KIT includes: "Colorfun Deluxe" white colouring paste 30 ml "Colorfun Deluxe" Blue colouring paste 30 ml "Colorfun Deluxe" True Green colouring paste (Gradient green) 30 ml "Pebeo" Turquoise Semitransparent liquid pigment 45 ml "Magic Drops Small" liquid additive 15 ml How to use: Prepare about 300 gr [0,66 lb] of resin and, after mixing it well, divide it into 7 parts. Colour each part with the different pigments included in the kit (blue, opal green, white, turquoise, rich gold). Then use the “Pebeo” Turquoise pigment with two small glasses, and proceed as follows: pour a drop in the first glass and 2/3 in the second. In this way you will be able to perfectly recreate the sea-depth effect, giving an increasingly darker shade depending on the distance from the point where you will paint the coast. Then pour the darker resin in the farthest point from the "shore" (which you can create with a piece of wood or with sand) approaching the "coast" with increasingly transparent resin. In this way you will get a more gradual colouring that will give your creation the depth effect. Now apply the sand or wood, securing them with a layer of transparent resin. With the white pigment, draw thin lines in the shape of a wave which you will then “inflate” using a hairdryer or a straw. Then apply the golden pigment on the "sand" to give a final touch and shine. At this point, touch up your resin with “Magic Drops SMALL” by mixing it with the white pigment and applying it on the resin surface by pouring or dripping. Remove any residues or greasiness with alcohol or acetone, once the resin has catalysed. To get the best effect, we recommend to use “Art Pro” or “Art Pro Deluxe” epoxy resin (high viscosity).   https://youtu.be/ZbgKRgRfjaI
