Can I Embed Objects In Clear Resin?

You can embed all kinds of objects into epoxy resin - it works great! 

There's no limit as to what you can embed into ArtResin: for example, you can embed beer caps, flowers, beads, shells, pennies or coins and many other objects, so let your imagination go! 

How to encase things in epoxy resin?

 

  • Working in layers no thicker than 1/8", pour an initial layer of resin over the surface of your piece to hold the objects in place.
  • Next, with gloved hands drop the objects into the wet resin, in whatever pattern you desire.  
  • Torch and cover to protect the wet resin from dust.
  • Allow it to dry for at least 3-5 hours, then pour a second coat to cover the objects.
  • For areas of high relief, you may need to pour multiple coats to cover the objects completely.
