If youre asking yourself, What kind of resin should I use?, let out a big sigh of relief. Because youre in the right place to get that question answered.
And I get why youre confused about what to buy. There are so many out there promising the life of pi in the sky. All the descriptions start sounding the same, and you dont want to make a mistake. Or worse waste your money buying the wrong stuff.
Hang with me. Im going off-topic for a moment, but I PROMISE by the end of this article, youll know what kind of resin to use.
Lets pretend youre on your way to the office party potluck dinner, and youve signed up to bring a cake. You head to your favorite grocery, grab the first cake you see, and run off to the party. Its only AFTER youve put it on the table and peoples eyes go wide that you see its a fruitcake.
Sorry, fruitcake lovers, but that stuff is gross.
And even worse, youre now the butt of the office party jokes, and your secret Santa gets you fruitcake gifts for eternity.
The SAME THING happens with resin.
So if you were to ask me, What kind of resin should I use? Ill reply with, What are you making?
Because you need to know WHAT youre making with resin BEFORE you buy it.
Just like that fruitcake, no one formula works for every situation. And anyone who tells you differently is a nickel-plated duck dollop.
Pro tip: If youre a beginner, I cannot stress here enough that you need to start with an epoxy resin. Why? Relatively speaking, epoxy is the easiest to work with. Its the most forgiving of beginner resin mistakes, plus its the easiest to mix and measure.
Once again, it depends on what you want your final project to look like. Heres the BIG THING to know the answer to when choosing a specific epoxy:
Are you filling a space or coating a surface?
If youre pouring it INTO something, like a mold or a space for a river table, you want a casting resin. These are low-viscosity resins that release bubbles easily that you can pour in thick layers. But because they mix watery, they will run off a surface, making fish eyes, so they arent suitable for countertops or artwork.
If youre pouring resin ONTO something to create a glossy surface, you want a doming resin. This kind of coating epoxy is high-viscosity, so it evenly levels after applying to a surface. While it can run over the sides when added to a flat surface (for example applying epoxy to a canvas print), it levels smoothly and gives a shiny finish. But, because its thick, its harder to remove bubbles. Thats why you dont want to use it with resin molds or epoxy table projects.
BONUS: If want to go down the resin rabbit hole on this stuff, Ive got even more good stuff for you explaining the types of epoxy.

Once youve got advanced skills, there are a couple of other formulas to try.
In that case, you will want to use a quick-curing polyurethane. These usually fully harden in under thirty minutes, so you can make a project and have it ready to use or wear in under an hour. Unfortunately though, this formula is very moisture sensitive. Any amount of water will make the resin bubble and cure looking like a sponge. Its also not a type I recommend for beginners since you only have 1 to 1 1/2 minutes to mix and pour it before it starts curing.
These resins cure hard and are generally cheaper than epoxy. But they STINK and dont have a long shelf life. If you want to try it, heres what else you should know before using polyester resin.
