Our General Purpose Clear Epoxy Coating resin can be used to cover paintings, sculptures, statues, souvenirs, laminate table tops or even to encapsulate an item in a clear, glossy varnish for eternity. The resin is also used to encase electronic components e.g. PC boards and LED lights.

CEL is primarily used to coat artwork but can also be cast to a depth of 5mm and remain clear, if a deeper casting is required we recommend CER Clear Epoxy Rigid Resin or UltraCast XT Clear Art Casting Resin

Mixing

The mixing ratio must be accurately followed to achieve perfect results. It is not possible to change the ratio which would result in the resin not drying properly and lower mechanical properties.

The mixed components should be thoroughly stirred for 3-4 minutes to ensure an even consistency. Epoxy systems tend to heat up in a pot than as a thin film, only mix the amount needed for use within the pot life of the product.

Application

The product can be applied by pouring from the mixing vessel or by brush or roller. The mixed resin can be tinted with our resi-TINT pigments, resi-METAL or resi-TINT+ Metallic Powders to make your artwork pop. resi-BLAST will add stunning cells and effects.

Health & Safety

Although our resins are formulated with the most modern and safest epoxy chemicals available, all epoxy resins are chemicals and should be managed and handled with proactive safety hygiene and responsible care.

• Always wear nitrile gloves (or use a specialist resin barrier cream)
• Wear a respirator when sanding partially-cured resin
• It is advisable to work in a well ventilated room
• We advise the use of safety goggles
• Avoid skin contact (if resin gets on skin wash with plenty of soap & water)
• DO NOT eat, drink or smoke while working
• In case of eye contamination wash with plenty of water for 15 minutes and consult medical advice immediately

Adding inks/paints/mica powder/glitter to epoxy resin will change its properties and may reduce its non-toxicity. If you use alcohol inks DO NOT use a flame to remove bubbles, as alcohol is flammable.
