It's so easy to create a beautiful piece of resin artwork using Eli-Chem MasterCast, metallic pigments and acrylic tints which give a semi transparent effect. If you have never tried resin art before then this is a great way to start. Simply follow the step by step instructions on our info graphic and get creative.
If you are an experienced artist, why not buy pack as a gift for friend? The pack will be delivered in a plain box, along with instructions on how to use the products and a gift bag. All you need to do is gift it.
For the starter kit we use MasterCast 1-2-1 Clear Artwork Resin as the base, it is a two component polymer material that produces an optically clear, high gloss finish on many surfaces e.g canvas, wood, mdf, glass, perspex, concrete and metal. It is ambient temperature curing, solvent free, high build and UV stable. MasterCast is an optically transparent coating casting resin that can be applied by pouring, brush or roller.

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
Pour small amounts of the mixed MasterCast resin into each of the 4 small measuring cups provided in the kit. Add the resi-tints & the resi-METAL to the resin in the small cups one drop at a time. They are very concentrated so you only need approx. 3 drops per cup. You can also add 2 or 3 drops of resi-BLAST at this stage to create cells & lacing effects. We recommend only adding this to 1 or 2 colours. The resi-TINT+ Metallic Powder can be added to one of these colours or sprinkled lightly over your artwork whilst it is wet.
Pour the cups of tinted resin onto your board one at a a time, making sure you cover all areas. Overlap colours if creating cells & lacing. The resin will flow out to fill any blank areas but if you notice any uncovered areas you can tilt the board to cover them.
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.
