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.

Create your personalized Sea Wave Effect!  WAVE-PRO is 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 WAVE-PRO can be used along with our range of colours or metallic pigments. Please Note that WAVE-PRO was developed and tested with our proprietary artwork resins. Ideal for Ocean Resin Art   How to use: How to work with Wave Pro - the ideal tool to create the natural sea waves effect! These instructions imply the presence of a "sea" background made of epoxy resin on your board / canvas (it can be done as acrylic paints, and just filled it with transparent resin on top, or you can make it entirely from coloured resin). The hardened "sea" background made of epoxy resin makes it possible to remove non-produced waves in case of failure. We mix the epoxy resin in the proportions indicated in the instructions (the volume depends on the scale of the work). In a cup, mix the resin and Wave Pro additive using the ratio: 3-4 teaspoons of resin and 1/2 teaspoon of Wave Pro). It is important to mix thoroughly and quickly so that the powder dissolves and turns from a pale white to a rich white. Let the mixture rest for 50-70 minutes, occasionally stirring it in a cup. Your main goal is to get a very thick mixture after the indicated time, since this is the perfect consistency for it to be blown with a blow dryer. Mix the newly obtained resin, and use it to make a transparent layer on top of your "sea" background (the key point is that without a liquid transparent layer, the wave effect will not work!). Pour a thin stream of white thick mixture onto this transparent epoxy layer and, holding the blow dryer at a 30 ° angle, blow the wave. Linger only at the beginning of the process, because the resin is thick, and the blow dryer needs to "soften" it, but as you see that the wave has gone, then immediately move along the entire wavelength without stopping. Go through the burner and wait for the resin to completely cure. Once cured, you will have your real sea :) We recommend to use the product with our TRANSPARENT EPOXY RESIN (low viscosity) https://resin-pro.co.uk/product/transparent-epoxy-resin-320-gr/ https://www.instagram.com/p/B0twAR1gDaE/?igshid=nvej64p9oa69

Piñata Colors are highly saturated, fast-drying alcohol inks for any hard surface, including glass, metal, plastic, ceramic, stone, leather, resin, polymer clay, YUPO® and more. Indelible and impervious to water, Piñata Colors clean up with alcohol and re-wet themselves, allowing for unique effects and techniques not easily achieved with water-based inks. As a dye-based, highly transparent ink*, Piñata Colors are unparalleled for vibrancy. Only the most lightfast dyes have been selected for the palette. Acid-free with excellent adhesive properties, Piñata Colors are the go-to inks for all non-porous surfaces. TECHNIQUES fine arts, scrapbooking, crafts, faux stained glass, card making, resin arts, faux finishing techniques and staining wood and leather SURFACES glass, metal, plastic, vinyl, ceramic, stone, leather, epoxy resins, YUPO®, foil, wood, encaustic, Claybord™, fiberglass, acrylic, polymer clay and more Warning: using inks in percentages higher than 1% may alter the mechanical resistance of the creation. In order to create the Blast Effect, it is necessary to use the colour WHITE. https://www.instagram.com/p/BuTHQjWDUSX/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link Instruction: These beautiful, color-saturated, acid-free, transparent inks have an alcohol base which makes them indelible and moisture-resistant when dry. That means you can work freely on most any clean, oil-free surface, and makes them the ideal professional product. Highly versatile, Piñata can be used in a variety of applications, including rubber stamping, fine art, fiber art, and scrap booking. Also use Piñata in calligraphy, faux finishing techniques, graphic and airbrush applications, as well as wood and leather staining. Techniques: Mixing Piñata with Claro — it will stay shiny and not change color. It extends the drying and working time. Claro is also a transparentizer. Claro dropped or brushed on top of dry Piñata will make it spread, creating rings of marble or stone-like texture. Slight dulling occurs, but most will remain shiny. Just like real stone! Mixing Piñata with alcohol produces a slightly lighter color. When sponging this mixture, expect to see tiny bubble-like textures. This is very effective in making background papers and other interesting textural faux effects. Alcohol dropped or brushed on top of dry Piñata removes the shine. This is particularly effective on terra cotta surfaces or in faux finishing techniques where shine would detract from the overall effect. Spritz or brush layers of color over color. When wet, each layer will push aside the under layers creating amazing effects. Allowing each layer to dry will produce beautiful glazes and truly spectacular colors with clarity and depth. Add blanco Blanco to any of the Piñata Colors and achieva a completely new glowing range of pastel variations with a touch of opacity. Resists: Crayons: draw with various colors and apply Piñata. Wax.: following directions from the manufacturer, apply melted wax to fabric. Crinkle the fabric allowing the wax to crack, then apply Piñata. Iron the wax away to create beautiful batik effects. Gum Arabic: mix gum arabic with water to a heavy cream consistency. Apply this to a rubber stamp or paint it directly onto a surface. Apply Piñata. Gently wash away the gum arabic. Piñata Clean-Up Solution: Piñata Clean-Up Solution contains moisturizers to keep brushes soft and pliable. (TIP: Use regular rubbing alcohol to clean off most of the Piñata from brushes and sponges. Use the Clean-Up Solution for the final rinse to keep brushes soft and ready-to-use the next time!) Warning: Flammable • Eye Irratant • Contains: Denatured Alcohol • Keep Out Of Reach Of Children.

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.
