Welcome to the wonderful world of resin crafting! Whether you're a seasoned artist or just starting out, choosing the right resin for your project can be a daunting task.

Let's delve into some key factors to consider when choosing the right resin for your project:
1. Project type:
The first step is to identify the type of project you'll be undertaking. Different projects have varying requirements for resin properties. Here's a quick guide:
- Jewelry and small crafts: Opt for a resin with a relatively medium curing time, like our Resin Lust. This ensures your project hardens quickly and efficiently.
- Large castings and deep pours: For thicker pours, choose a resin with a slower curing time, such as our Resin Infinite. This allows the resin to cure evenly and minimizes the risk of overheating or cracking.
- Tabletop casting: For creating a smooth and level surface, consider a self-leveling resin like our Infinite. This eliminates the need for manual leveling and ensures a professional finish.
2. Viscosity:
Resin viscosity refers to its thickness. Here's a general guideline:
- Low viscosity resins: These are thinner and flow easily, making them ideal for intricate molds and delicate applications like jewelry making.
- High viscosity resins: These are thicker and hold their shape better, making them suitable for creating thicker casts and doming effects.
3. Curing time:
Curing time refers to the time it takes for the resin to harden completely. Consider the following:
- Faster curing times are ideal for smaller projects or when you need to complete your project quickly.
- Slower curing times are better for larger casts or deep pours, as they allow the resin to cure more evenly and reduce the risk of cracking.
4. Additional features:
Some resins offer additional features like UV resistance, coloring options, and special effects like glow-in-the-dark or metallic finishes. Choose a resin that caters to your specific project requirements and desired aesthetics.
