ArtResin bonds to most surfaces including wood, photographs, inkjet prints, ink, oil pastel, paper collage, canvas, fabric, metal, glass, sculptures, flowers, rocks, and fully dried paint acrylic, oil, watercolor, and spray paint.

It does not adhere well to materials that repel water such as wax, oil, and plastics, including silicone.

Loose materials such as glitter or chalk pastel may float in the liquid resin. Porous materials such as clay or soft papers may absorb resin; apply a sealant first to create a barrier.

We always recommend testing your materials with resin before beginning your project. Enjoy experimenting!

ArtResin has a working time of about 45 minutes before it begins to cure and becomes too thick to spread. For best results, pour and apply the resin immediately after mixing for 3 minutes.

Temperature note: Heat will shorten your working time. If you warm the resin in a water bath, expect to lose about 10 minutes. Likewise, in spaces above 85°F (25°C), both working and cure times will be reduced. Always keep your workspace temperature in mind to get the best results.

ArtResin is dry to the touch within 24 hours and reaches its full cure in 72 hours.

For best results, allow the resin to cure in a warm and dry environment, ideally between 75-85°F (24-30°C) and 50-80% humidity. It's important to maintain stable temperatures during the first 24 hours to avoid dimples in the resin surface.

Yes, once fully cured, ArtResin can be safely used as a food contact surface.

ArtResin has been rigorously tested by a third party for leaching and migration across global standards and passed every test: when used as directed, cured ArtResin is inert and will not transfer any substances into food. 

Please note: Once you add colorants or other additives to your ArtResin mixture, it is no longer be considered food safe. However, applying a final topcoat of clear ArtResin will restore its food-safe status.
