Art Resin India — The Complete Guide for Artists & DIY Makers
As of July 2026, we supply crystal-clear art resin for river tables, jewellery, wall art and more. Authorised distributor since 2016 — genuine Bondone, Lapox, and more.
Which art resin is best for beginners in India?
Bondone Clear Cast is the best art resin for beginners in India — ₹731 for 1.2 kg (July 2026). It offers a 300-minute pot life (5 hours working time), self-levels to a crystal-clear finish, and forgives small mixing errors. Start with a 1.2 kg kit for river tables or jewellery.
How long does art resin take to cure in Indian weather?
Most art resins cure to touch in 12–16 hours and fully cure in 24 hours at 25°C. At 35°C+, pot life drops and cure accelerates; below 20°C, full cure can take 48+ hours. Always work in a temperature-controlled space if possible.
How much does a river table cost in resin materials?
A 4×2 ft river table needs ~5.2 kg Bondone Clear Cast costing ~₹3,654 (three 1.2 kg kits + one 1.2 kg kit, July 2026). Add ₹1,200 for pigments, moulds, and torch — total ~₹4,854 before labour.
What is Art Resin?
Art resin is a specially formulated epoxy system designed for creative applications. Unlike industrial floor epoxies, art resins cure crystal clear, have a longer working time, and are safe for indoor use once cured. They are used for river tables, resin jewellery, abstract wall art, bar tops, and much more.
In India, the art resin market has exploded over the last five years. I've seen it firsthand: what used to be a niche hobby is now a full-blown movement. And with that comes confusion — confusing product names, fake distributors, and resins that yellow in months. That's why I stock only authorised brands and personally test every product before recommending it.

UV Stable details →How to Choose the Right Resin for Your Project
Answer these three simple questions and I'll point you to the perfect resin.
Step 1: Indoor or Outdoor?
If your art will live near a window, on a balcony, or directly outside → Clear Cast UV Stable.
For strictly indoor pieces (no direct sunlight) → move to step 2.
Step 2: Deep pour or thin surface coat?
If you're casting a thick slab, river table, or embedding objects → Bondone Clear Cast.
If you only need a glossy 1-2mm layer on a bar top or painted panel → Bondone ClearLam CC.
Step 3: Art piece or precision jewellery?
For intricate jewellery, tiny cabochons, or high-detail moulds → Lapox Ultra is unmatched.
Otherwise, stick with the Clear Cast family — it's more forgiving for beginners.
That's it. You just picked your resin. If you still have doubts, WhatsApp me directly and I'll help you choose in 60 seconds.
5 Mistakes I've Watched Artists Make (and How to Avoid Them)
I've been selling resin since 2016. I've seen it all. Here are the real, painful lessons people learn the hard way:
1. Buying too little resin
They calculate the perfect volume, then forget about the edges, the seal coat, and the inevitable spill. I always say add 20% extra. A woman in Rohini once ran out mid-pour on a ₹35,000 wood slab. She now orders extra without fail.
2. Whipping the mixture
Resin is not cake batter. Mix slowly, deliberately. I once lost ₹2,800 worth of product because I was in a hurry and beat air into it. The result looked like frosted glass.
3. Ignoring humidity and temperature
Pot life at 25°C is 300 minutes. At 38°C in a Delhi summer, it drops to 180. Mix in an air-conditioned room or early morning. I learnt this when a batch gelled in the bucket before I could pour.
4. Using the wrong resin for outdoor pieces
Normal Clear Cast will amber near a window in 6-8 months. I've replaced UV-damaged tables for customers who didn't know about UV Stable. Don't make that ₹6,400 mistake.
5. Not wearing gloves or a mask
Epoxy hardener fumes can sensitise your lungs. A jeweller in Jaipur ignored this and now can't be near uncured resin. Protect yourself.

The Resin Art Community in India Is Growing Fast
When I started in 2016, I could count the serious resin artists in India on two hands. As of July 2026, there are thousands. Instagram has exploded with Indian resin artists — from Kochi to Chandigarh, Kolkata to Pune. I've personally supplied over 500+ projects across the country.
What's driving this growth? Three things: affordable raw materials now available locally, YouTube tutorials making the learning curve gentler, and a booming market for handmade home decor. A river table that costs ₹5,000 in materials sells for ₹25,000–₹40,000. A set of resin jewellery with ₹300 in materials fetches ₹2,000–₹3,000 at a craft fair.

"I'm not a corporate supplier. I'm an artist who learned epoxy the hard way."
My name is Jobin Samuel. As of July 2026, I've been helping Indian artists find the right resin for nearly a decade. I started Si Epoxy Adhesives in 2016 because I was tired of seeing Indian artists struggle with fake, yellowing resins. I have a real warehouse in Ghaziabad ° Kh No. 936, Karhera ° stocked with authentic Bondone, Lapox and Jubitite products.
If you call me at 11 PM because your resin is behaving strangely, I'll answer. I've poured enough resin to know exactly how it misbehaves. I'm not here to upsell you; I'm here to make sure you get the right product the first time.

Frequently Asked Questions — Art Resin
What is art resin and how is it different from industrial epoxy?
Art resin is formulated for clarity, low odour, and indoor safety. Industrial epoxies often have yellowish hardeners, cure fast, and may release harmful VOCs. Art resin like Bondone Clear Cast is formulated for crystal clarity and self-levels for a flawless finish.
Which art resin is best for beginners in India?
Bondone Clear Cast is the best art resin for beginners in India. Its 300-minute pot life gives you plenty of time to work, and it's very forgiving of small mixing errors. Start with a 1.2 kg kit to practice.
Can I use art resin outdoors in India?
You need a UV-stable variant like Bondone Clear Cast UV Stable for outdoor use. Normal art resin will yellow within months under direct sunlight or even strong window light. The UV version uses light stabilisers that dramatically slow the ambering process.
How long does art resin take to cure in Indian weather?
Most art resins are dry to the touch in 12-16 hours and fully cured in 24 hours at the standard 25°C. In hotter temperatures (35°C+), the cure accelerates but the pot life drops. In colder weather (below 20°C), curing may take 48 hours or more. Always work in a controlled environment if possible.
Is art resin safe to use at home?
Art resin is safe to use at home once fully cured. In the liquid state, always wear gloves and work in a well-ventilated area. Avoid inhaling fumes during mixing. After 24 hours, the cured resin is inert and safe for incidental food contact (like a charcuterie board, dining table, or bar top). Bondone epoxy systems carry food contact certification — we can share the certificate with every order.
Where can I buy genuine art resin in India?
You can buy genuine art resin in India from Si Epoxy Adhesives. As of July 2026, I'm an authorised distributor for Bondone, Lapox and Jubitite. I ship from my Ghaziabad warehouse to all over India. Every kit is sealed and comes with the original manufacturer TDS. WhatsApp me at +91-8595955752 to order.
