Craft Resin Applications Guide

Wondering what surfaces you can apply Craft Resin on? It's a versatile product suitable for a myriad of applications. Here's a curated list of materials it can bond to and some it can't.

Materials Craft Resin Adheres To:

  1. Wood: Enhances natural colors and grain. Ensure wood is dry (<12% moisture) and sealed.
  2. Photographs: Offers a modern frameless appearance while prolonging photo lifespan.
  3. Paintings: Works on dried oil paintings, watercolors, and acrylics. Ensure oil paintings are completely dried before applying.
  4. Inkjet Prints: Suitable for various papers, though glossy paper typically yields the best results.
  5. Spray Paint: Ensure the paint is fully dried before application.
  6. Paper: Suitable for various types, from photo to tracing. Quality determines absorption level.
  7. Sculptures: Thin coatings are recommended for uneven sculptures to avoid drips.
  8. Fabric: Resin stiffens the fabric and imparts a wet appearance.
  9. Polymer Clay: Seals and strengthens sculptures.
  10. Ceramics: Bonds well to ceramic material, from tiles to bowls.
  11. Countertops: Suitable for kitchen surfaces, but always conduct thorough research before large projects.
  12. Flooring: Indoor application only. Remember, wet cured resin can be slippery.
  13. Jewelry: Create stunning pendants, earrings, and more.
  14. Natural Objects: From rocks to leaves, resin can seal and beautify them.

Materials Craft Resin Doesn't Adhere To:

  • Water-repellent materials.
  • Silicone: Ideal for crafting tools since resin doesn't stick.

Special Mentions:

  1. Puzzles: Secure to a base first. Multiple coatings might be required due to gaps.
  2. Organic Material: Ensure materials like flowers or leaves are dried to prevent decay.
  3. Gold Leaf: Delicate, may shift in resin if not secured.
  4. Food: Can preserve it decoratively. However, it's inedible post-resin.
  5. Aluminium and Metals: Sand the surface before resin application for best results.
  6. Marker Pens: Seal artwork to prevent bleeding or discoloration.
