Creative DIY Projects with Epoxy Resin
Epoxy resin is growing in popularity
Epoxy resin, often simply called resin, is a versatile material created by mixing two complementary components. When the liquid resin is combined with its specific hardener, a chemical reaction begins, typically lasting for several hours.
After mixing, the material not only emits heat but also transforms from a liquid to a solid, cured state. The standard mixing ratio, often 1:1 or 1:2, ensures the resin cures completely.
Various types of epoxy or casting resins, each with unique properties, are suited to different applications as specified by manufacturers. Resins vary widely in curing time, final hardness, durability, and other factors like maximum pour thickness and heat resistance.
Fundamentally, epoxy resin is highly adaptable for numerous arts and crafts. The examples below represent just a fraction of its potential uses:
