Hello
Kan julle my asb help. Ek wil begin met resin en is nie seker watter tipe ek moet gebruik nie. Ek wil juwele, oorbelle, coasters, ringe, piramides met droe blomme in, papiergewigte ens maak. Bogenoemde is alles moulds behalwe van die oorbelle en die pendants. Help asseblief.
Groete
Elize Smit
Hi Elize,
Ons Table Top Epoxy is n baie lekker medium om ook juwele mee te maak. Jy kan dit tot 5mm dik gooi op n slag en kan verskeie lae op mekaar gooi. Sodra jy egter dieper wil gooi moet jy die Casting Resin gebruik wat jy tot 5cm diep op n slag kan gooi. Met die Extreme Deep Casting Resin kan jy tot 10cm op n slag gooien is dus ideaal vir die piramide molds.
Jy is welkom om my op 081 2700 884te WhatsApp indien jy nog raad benodig.
Hi there,
I am interested in doing resin for keychain, coasters, bookmarks, jewelry.
I am so unsure of what epoxy resin to get, basically all I know is I would like something that is eco-friendly if possible as in low or less fumes, less curing time.
I did see uv resin for jewelry which is something different to casting epoxy for keychain etc but am interested in that as well.
Please help.
Regards

Hi Nicole,

For more Information on the Workshops, you can WhatsApp me on 081 2700 884
Good day. I have a slab of solid wood that i want to create an art installation with. The slab has 0.5 age cracks that i want to fill. Which product can work for me?
Hi,
For small cracks you can use the Pourpoxy Table Top Epoxy or the Qualicast Table Top Epoxy. If you have larger cracks, you should use Pourpoxy Casting Epoxy
Hi! Id like to make a block and attach legs to it to make a table – the block will be entirely resin with my wedding flowers in them. Not sure which resin/epoxy to use as it is a very thick block. ANy advice would be great.
Hi Kyla,
To do thick blocks you need to use the Pourpoxy Extreme Deep Casting Resin. It is a very high quality and will prevent your project from turning yellow. If possible do not pour layers thicker than than 5cm at a time. You can do multiple layers on top of each other once they have set.
Hi, I am absolutely new to this hobby. I am looking for molds for coasters as well as what resin to use, how much to mix and pour. For now I wish to make coasters and a tray. Please assist. Also can you send us the table as above to use as a guide ?
Hi Peter,
I have a variety of Moulds available at this link. Keep an eye on that page as it changes all the time.
The best Epoxy to use for coasters is the Qualicast Table Top Epoxy.
Hi. I would like to use epoxy on a bedroom door with different layers of colors. What epoxy should I use?
Hi Peter,
You can use Pourpoxy Table Top or Qualicast Table Top. You will however have to lay the door down as the Epoxy is Self Leveling and will run off the surface.
Hello. Ek wil graag weet wat kan ek gebruik om goed soos blik bekers, blik borde, blik potte en ketels wat mens nou gebruik om mee te eet en uit te drink water in te kook. Blykbaar kan mens epoxy en enamel verf gebruik maar ek wil graag weet watter is dalk meer “food safe/non toxic”
Hi Doreth,
Jy kan enige van die Art of Table Top Epoxies probeer. Hulle is “self Leveling” en jy sal dus n probleem he om dit op nie-gelyk oppervlaktes te gebruik. Ongelukkig sal dit ook beskadig indien jy met skerp voorwerpe daarop sny.
