- Coating Resin: This has a high viscosity. It stays where you put it. Use it for doming jewelry or coating canvas art. It creates a thick and glossy layer.
- Casting Resin: This has a low viscosity. It flows into intricate molds. It releases bubbles easily. Use it for river tables or deep molds.
- UV Resin: This cures instantly under UV light. It works best for small repairs or jewelry. It saves time on small projects.
