Hi-Build artwork resin
Hi-Build Artwork Resin is a high viscosity, two part artwork resin that offers the benefits of 3D height. This resin is the thickest, most controllable resin available on the market and is perfect Geode artworks, building layers easily and dimensional art.
The mixing ratio must be accurately followed to achieve perfect results. It is not possible to change the ratio which would result in the resin not drying properly and lower mechanical properties.
The mixed components should be thoroughly stirred for 3-4 minutes to ensure an even consistency, add the mixed resin to individual cups and add your chosen pigments to each cup.
Application
The product can then be dropped onto the surface to create domed 3D shapes. Apply by hand, if it’s too gloopy to measure properly simply pre-warm the containers (place in hot water to lower the viscosity).
BUBBLES: Any bubbles created by hand mixing can be easily popped by using a sharp object or by passing warm air over the surface of the resin with a blowtorch or hot air dryer on slow speed settings. Do not hold closer than 30cm to your artwork otherwise you risk creating ripples and dimples in the resin finish. If you use alcohol inks DO NOT use a flame to remove the bubbles, as alcohol is flammable.
