Resin is a synthetic or natural mixture, which is initially in a two-part liquid form. They are most likely brownish or yellowish in color and sometimes used as glues and adhesives.
Natural resins are normally collected from trees, such as firs and pines, where resin is formed on the surface of the bark after the tree has been damaged by natural causes.
Synthetic resins are more commonly used in our modern industry. These synthetic resin types can be separated into two classes, thermoplastic resin and thermosetting resins.
DIY resin can be quite intimidating for beginners at first, but this is usually the case when picking up a new skill! Synthetic resins are ideal for all levels of practice.
Epoxy is technically a synthetic resin that has a quicker drying time. Other types of resin can take up to eight to ten hours to dry, while epoxy resin can dry between six minutes to an hour.
There are several useful objects, décor, and furniture you can make with epoxy resin. The outcome is usually superb and also comes at a low cost when compared to normal market prices.
