How to Choose the Right Resin Art Kit

Are you a beginner and stuck on which resin kit to choose? Well, don't worry—you are not alone. The market provides a lot of opinions about resins, and hence, this is not your fault. We have accumulated all the important information regarding resin so that you can choose the right resin art kit and unleash your creativity.

1- Types of Resin Art Kit

Generally, there are 2 types of resin available in the market:

·       The First one is Epoxy Resin - This resin is best for you if you are a beginner and just starting your journey with resin art. Epoxy resin is easy to use, has less Odor, and provides a clear, glossy finish that makes your creativity look shinier.

·       The Second one is Polyester Resin - This type of resin is generally used for industrial purposes. Polyester resin also has a strong smell and toxic fumes.

This simply means that if you are a beginner and you are working on your art, then choosing the epoxy resin kit will be the best choice for you.

2- Your Beginner-Friendly Resin Kit Should Include These Items

A good resin art kit for beginners should have:

·       Step by step guide and an instructions manual that consists of every detail regarding the product and how to use it.

·       A beginner-friendly resin kit should not include any toxic formulas.

·       Basic tools inclusions - All basic tools like gloves, measuring cups, and Molds should be included in the kit

·       Extra materials like Pigments or glitter - This will help you when you want to add a touch-up to your art through sparkles.

3. Start Small

If you are beginner and just started your journey then we recommend you to start small with your projects, if you start with heavy and big art project then this might be get hectic for you as currently you don't carry any experience for using resin kit and one wrong project can downgrade your confidence and hence we recommend you start with projects like keychains or small trays just for trials and confidence build up, after that start with your real potential. 

4. Budget

You also have to think about the budget, however, we recommend, in starting don't start with a heavy budget, as currently you are in the testing and browsing stage. For example, when you buy from Oytra, you can buy the perfect resin kit, starting from only Rs. 499. We offer a resin art kit with Molds, and it also includes epoxy resin, hardener, mixing cups, sticks to stir the perfect mixture, gloves, etc.

We provide various resin kits, and we make sure the quality always matches your expectations while providing everything at a super affordable cost.
