What is epoxy resin?

    • Epoxy resin is a two-part thermosetting polymer (resin + hardener) that, when mixed, cures into a hard, durable, and glossy finish. It is widely used for coatings, adhesives, art, and crafts.

What are the common uses of epoxy resin?

  • Common uses include:

    • Art & Crafts (resin paintings, jewelry, coasters)

    • Woodworking (tabletop coatings, river tables)

    • Flooring (garage floors, industrial coatings)

    • Adhesives (strong bonding for metals and plastics)

    • Marine & Automotive (waterproofing, repairs)

What’s the difference between epoxy resin and polyester resin?

Epoxy resin has better adhesion, chemical resistance, and less shrinkage than polyester resin. Polyester resin is cheaper but more brittle and emits strong fumes.

Is epoxy resin toxic?

    • Uncured epoxy can cause skin irritation and respiratory issues. Always work in a well-ventilated area, wear gloves, and use a mask (especially when sanding).

Can epoxy resin be used outdoors?
