FAQs

Q: What’s the difference between polyester resin and epoxy resin?
Polyester resin cures faster, is more affordable, and is preferred for casting clear objects. However, epoxy has better UV resistance and flexibility.

Q: Can it be used for deep casting?
It is ideal for shallow to medium-depth casting. For deeper pours, layering in stages is recommended.

Q: Is it food safe?
No. This product is not certified food safe and should not be used for items in direct contact with food.
