Artist Resin Medium Viscosity - Epoxy for Detailed Art

Artist Resin Medium Viscosity: Clear Epoxy for Detailed Art

Artist Resin Medium Viscosity is a clear 1:1 epoxy made for artists who want more flow than standard Artist Resin without moving to a thin casting formula. The slightly thinner viscosity spreads smoothly, reaches fine details and crevices, and still cures to a self-leveling high-gloss finish.

Choose this formula for geodes, ocean pours, bookmarks, coasters, fine layers, small shallow molds, and detailed art where easier movement matters.

Why Choose Medium Viscosity Epoxy Resin?

• Slightly thinner flow: easier to guide through texture, details, edges, and crevices
• 1:1 mix ratio: equal parts Part A and Part B by volume
• Working time: approximately 30-45 minutes under normal room conditions
• Finish: clear, self-leveling, and high gloss
• Thin-layer formula: recommended at or below 1/4 inch (about 6 mm) per layer
• Low odor and VOC-free: made for artist and maker workspaces when used according to label directions

Best Uses for Artist Resin Medium Viscosity

• Geode art and ocean-pour techniques
• Resin bookmarks and detailed flat pieces
• Coasters, trays, and thin decorative molds
• Tumblers and curved surfaces when you prefer a little more flow
• Fine layers, textured art, and projects with narrow crevices

Medium Viscosity vs. Standard Artist Resin

Choose Medium Viscosity when the project benefits from smoother movement into small details, textures, and crevices.

Choose standard Artist Resin when you want more body and placement control for general coating, canvas, and curved-surface work.

Choose Original Fast Set Epoxy when short recoat time matters more than extended working time.

Neither Artist Resin formula is intended for deep pours. For flower preservation, deep molds, and thicker encapsulation, compare the products in the casting resin collection.

How to Mix and Apply

1. Measure equal volumes of Part A and Part B.
2. Mix at least 2 fl oz total (about 59 mL) slowly and thoroughly for at least three minutes, scraping the sides and bottom of the cup.
3. Apply within the 30-45 minute working time and keep the project level while the resin self-levels.
4. Keep each layer at or below 1/4 inch (about 6 mm), and follow the product label for cure, handling, and safety instructions.

Use the resin coverage calculator to estimate a flat coating. Read the epoxy mixing guide for measuring, cup-scraping, and bubble-control tips. Porous or decorated surfaces can be sealed first with a very thin layer of Quick Coat, following its directions before applying epoxy.

Available Kit Sizes

• 8 fl oz kit (about 237 mL): 4 fl oz Part A + 4 fl oz Part B
• 32 fl oz kit (about 946 mL): 16 fl oz Part A + 16 fl oz Part B
• 1 gal kit (about 3.8 L): 1/2 gal Part A + 1/2 gal Part B
• 2 gal kit (about 7.6 L): 1 gal Part A + 1 gal Part B

Medium Viscosity Artist Resin FAQs

What does medium viscosity mean?
This formula is slightly thinner and flows more easily than standard Artist Resin. It is designed to move into fine details and crevices while still providing a glossy coating.

Is Medium Viscosity good for bookmarks and coasters?
Yes. Its smoother flow works well for bookmarks, coasters, geodes, ocean pours, and other detailed pieces made in thin layers.

Can I pour it deeper than 1/4 inch?
No. Keep poured or layered work at or below 1/4 inch (about 6 mm). Choose a casting resin for deeper projects.

Can I use it on a tumbler?
Yes. If you prefer more flow around a curved surface, Medium Viscosity is a strong choice. Review the tumbler epoxy application guide before beginning.

What is the difference between art resin and epoxy resin?

Art resin is a type of epoxy that is formulated for use by artists. It is usually clear, contains UV inhibitors, and is made to easily release bubbles. It can be used with colorants and additives to create beautiful patterns and designs.

What is art resin used for?

Art resin is usually used for projects like casting flower bouquets, filling molds, coating cups or pins, as well as making river tables.

What is the best art resin for beginners?

Our Artist Resin Medium Viscosity is a great place to start if you're new to the epoxy world. It can be used in molds, on tumblers, coating tables or countertops, as well as canvas artwork.

Does art resin scratch easily?

Some epoxy that lacks in quality may not cure properly, causing it to be susceptible to scratching.

Purchasing a quality art resin, such as our Artist Resin, can prevent scratches, yellowing, and improper curing.
