Epoxycast Clear Casting Resin
Epoxycast Clear Casting Resin is a two-part, clear system specifically designed for casting small to medium-sized items. Barnes has been supplying epoxy resin since 1986, and this is our best-selling Epoxy. We upgraded the formula in August 2021. As a result, this casting resin now offers superior UV resistance and minimal exotherm for small to medium projects.
Epoxycast Clear Casting Resin is easy to use with its 2:1 pbv ratio, making it simple to mix and pigment. For a strong translucent color, try using it with our PSTF dyes. If you prefer a metallic finish, the Pearl Ex and Elementz powder pigments are excellent choices.
Given that this resin is designed for small to medium projects, you may need to layer your pours for larger projects. For example, when embedding items such as flowers or mementos, applying a minimum of 2-3 layers may be ideal. Additionally, it is crucial to dry out and seal any organic or porous materials. For instance, flowers or bones may release moisture or air into the resin, preventing it from curing properly.
