Epoxy Resin & Hardener Kits
Epoxy resin is a versatile, strong adhesive used widely for repairs and finishing work. When mixed with a hardener, it creates a liquid that cures quickly into a tough, clear solid.
Find high-quality and durable epoxy resin at ITS
Made from resilient polymers, epoxy resin offers excellent chemical resistance and moisture protection, making it suitable for a wide array of creative and repair applications. Thanks to its strong adhesive properties, epoxy coatings bond securely, reducing the risk of delamination or weakening over time. This makes it ideal for coating surfaces like tables, sealing wood, or making jewellery and decorative items. The curing process of epoxy resin ensures a tough finish that stands up well under demanding conditions. Epoxy resin is valued for its durability, resistance to water and chemicals, and ability to produce a smooth, glossy finish. Suitable for both professional tradespeople and DIY enthusiasts, epoxy resin can be used to work on a range of projects. Compared to polyester resin, epoxy resin provides superior performance in protective coatings and structural repairs. The raw materials used in epoxy resin production contribute to its reliability and strength, which is why the epoxy resin market continues to grow. Whether you’re working with artistic creations, bonding, or industrial applications, proper epoxy curing delivers a solid and lasting result.

Why you need both resin and hardener
Epoxy resin on its own is a stable liquid that can last a long time on the shelf. But it won’t harden or cure until it’s mixed with the hardener. The hardener triggers a chemical reaction that changes the resin from a liquid into a solid, creating a strong, durable finish. This is very different from paint, which dries by moisture evaporating. Epoxy resin’s strength comes from this chemical curing process, which depends on the right balance between resin and hardener. Once mixed, some epoxy resin blends need to rest for a short time to start the reaction, while others must be used immediately before they become too thick.
Choosing the right epoxy resin kit size for your project
Figuring out how much epoxy resin you'll need depends on what you're making and how thick you want the layer to be. There's no single answer, as every project is a bit different. Generally, for:
Small bits like jewellery or quick repairs: You're looking at very small amounts, often measured in grams or millilitres. A little goes a long way here. Kits don’t usually come that small, so that means they will provide more than enough for these jobs.
Medium-sized things like coating a tabletop or an art piece: This will require a fair bit more. For a tabletop, think in terms of litres or even a couple of gallons for a decent-sized surface with a decent thickness (say, a few millimetres). If you're doing something like a "river table" where you're filling a deep void, you'll need significantly more, potentially over 10kg for a thick pour.
Bigger jobs like floors or large furniture: This is where you'll need to calculate more carefully. For flooring, you usually look at covering square metres, and even a thin layer will add up. If you do a thicker floor or multiple layers, that amount increases considerably.
Creative ways to use epoxy resin
Epoxy resin is a solid choice for all DIY projects and crafts. For starters, making colourful coasters is a popular activity. You can embed things like dried flowers, glitter, or even small trinkets inside the resin for a personal touch. The resin seals everything in with a smooth, glassy finish that looks great and protects whatever’s underneath. If you’re into woodworking, resin is brilliant for sealing and protecting the natural grain of wood. It brings out the colours and textures, giving the piece a durable, water-resistant coat without losing the character of the wood itself. On the more artistic side, resin is great for making jewellery - think pendants, rings or charms. You can pour it into moulds and add pigments, small objects or even photographs to create something truly one-of-a-kind. It’s also handy around the house or in a workshop for practical repairs. Epoxy bonds well to materials like metal, glass and plastic, so it’s useful for fixing leaks, cracks or broken items where you need a tough, lasting hold. There’s no shortage of ways to use epoxy resin, and it’s worth having a kit around just in case you want to try something new or need a quick fix.
Essential epoxy resin accessories for professional use
Even the best epoxy resin kit can benefit from the right accessories to help you do the job properly and make your work easier. If you’re working with resin regularly, having good-quality mixing tools is a must. Precise measuring cups and sturdy stir sticks make sure you get the right resin-to-hardener ratio every time without guesswork. That helps avoid problems like sticky finishes or incomplete curing. Protective gear is another key accessory. Nitrile gloves keep your hands safe from sticky resin and chemicals, while disposable mixing mats make cleaning up quicker and stop resin from ruining your work surface. If you want smooth, bubble-free finishes, a heat gun or small torch is useful for popping air bubbles right after pouring. And for shaping or sanding cured resin, a set of fine-grit sandpaper or polishing kits will help you get that professional, polished look. Having the right accessories on hand doesn’t just improve your results - it saves time and hassle on every project, especially when working in a professional environment where quality and efficiency matter most.
Epoxy resin accessories for hobby and craft
If you’re using epoxy resin for hobbies or craft projects, having the right accessories can make a big difference, even if you’re not working professionally. Basic tools like disposable mixing cups and stir sticks keep things simple and clean, while silicone mats protect your workspace from spills. Gloves are still essential to keep your hands resin-free and safe, especially when experimenting with colours or adding small details. For a smooth finish, a small heat gun or even a handheld lighter can help remove pesky bubbles. And if you’re into jewellery or small crafts, resin moulds and pigments open up many creative possibilities without much fuss.
