Can I Drill Into ArtResin After It Cures?

Yes! Cured ArtResin is totally machineable, meaning you can drill it, buff it, polish it, sand it, even turn it on a lathe, but remember: use caution and ensure you wear a dust mask to avoid breathing in any of the cured dust particles.





💡 TIP: As long as your ArtResin is fully cured, you should have no problem drilling it, but there are a couple of common sense steps you can take to avoid the risk of your resin cracking:

  • Don’t drill too close to the edge.
  • Start off with a small drill bit, and drill through all the way first. Work your way up with larger bits until you get to the size you desire.

Hi, I'm Dave, a Canadian-based entrepreneur. I was born an artist and I love to tinker and create things. After studying art and working in marketing, I founded ArtResin in 2008 in response to the toxic and yellowing resin products that were giving me headaches and ruining my artwork.
