Product description
Hi-Build Artwork Resin is a high-viscosity two-component epoxy resin. The high-viscosity epoxy is one of the thickest and most controllable resins on the market, making it very suitable for Blob Art and for making geodes.
Hi-Build Artwork Resin is non-hazardous, non-toxic and has a high UV resistance. The resin is recommended for applications where the user wants the resin to stay in place, not collapse and not slide. The resin will stay where you dropped it!
Features
- Perfect for Blob Art, geodes and 3D collages.
- Does not collapse.
- Easy to use (1:1 mixing ratio).
- Non-flammable.
- UV-resistant.
- Solvent-free and odourless.
Directions for use
Weigh both components well (this resin has a simple 1:1 mixing ratio based on volume) and mix them well for 3-4 minutes. The Hi-Build Resin comes standard in an off-white colour and is therefore not transparent. You will therefore have to pigment this epoxy with, for example Resi-Tint MAX, Resi-Tint, Resi-Metal or similar Resin Art pigments. After you have mixed and coloured the high viscous epoxy, you can easily apply it to the substrate. You can apply the epoxy by dripping or dropping it from the mixing spatula. You can easily remove air bubbles with a gas burner. Do not hold the gas torch closer than 30 cm to the surface, otherwise you may damage the resin.
Tip: if the resin is too thick to mix, you can place it in a bowl of warm water for a while to lower the viscosity of the resin.

The tasks a product is intended for, such as laminating, casting, bonding, sealing or protecting. Products intended for the same application can differ considerably in processing, curing time and final properties.

The technical product category, such as primer, resin, hardener or cleaner. It explains the product's purpose and helps you find other products with a similar function.
- Resins
-
This property lists the substrates on which an adhesive, resin or coating can achieve strong adhesion according to the product information. The result also depends on surface preparation.
- Cleaning and degreasing: removes dirt, oil and other substances that interfere with bonding.
- Sanding or roughening: can improve adhesion when suitable for the substrate.
- Primer: required or recommended for some surfaces.
Materials such as PE, PP and PTFE are difficult to bond with many conventional adhesives and may need a specialist adhesive or pretreatment. If in doubt, test adhesion on a small area.
- Canvas, MDF

The period for which an unopened product remains usable under the specified storage conditions. Check whether the period starts from the manufacturing date or another date. Shelf life may be shorter after opening, especially for products sensitive to air or moisture.
- 12 months

Mixing ratio indicates how much of each component is needed, for example resin (A) and hardener (B). A ratio of 100:50 by weight means 100 grams of A to 50 grams of B; by volume you might use millilitres. Weight and volume ratios are not necessarily the same because the components may have different densities. Accurate measuring is important for proper curing.
- 100:90 (by weight), 1:1 (by volume)
-
A paint or varnish layer is dust-dry when settling dust is less likely to stick to the surface. It may not yet be touch-dry, ready for overcoating or suitable for loading; these are different stages of drying and curing.
- 2-3 hours
-
Curing time is the period a product needs to reach a specified stage of cure. It is usually given in hours or days, often at a reference temperature such as 20 °C. A product may be tack-free or safe to handle before reaching its full mechanical and chemical resistance. Film thickness and mixed quantity may also affect the time.
- 4-5 days
-
Consumption or coverage describes how much product is needed for a given surface area. Consumption may be stated in g/m² or kg/m², while coverage is often given in m²/L or m²/kg. A consumption of 0.2 kg/m² means a theoretical 200 grams per square metre. Actual use depends on film thickness, substrate absorbency, application method and waste.
- 1 liter of mixed product covers approximately 1.43 m² (0.5 mm thick)
- Net contents
- 2 kg, 400 g, 4 kg
-
Working time is the period during which a product remains workable after mixing or activation, usually given in minutes at a specified temperature, often 20 °C. With reactive resins, the chemical reaction also continues in the mixing container, and larger quantities or higher temperatures can shorten this time. Working time is different from gel time and full curing time.
- Approximately 15-20 minutes (at 23 °C)
