As people tend to use epoxy resin a lot to make miniature water dioramas ( have a look at my article where I talk about it ), I had to make a few epoxy resin reviews.
Today, I will describe 5 of them, so let's dive right into things!
But first, what is epoxy resin?
Resin is a tough, sticky, vegetable product that is mainly extracted from conifers. There are also several plastics called resins. Examples of such synthetic resins are Bakelite, polyurethane resin, and epoxy resin. Resin is sometimes confused with gum.
Epoxy Resin is used for art, furniture making, water sports, aquariums and terrariums, model building, and more!
In the video below, you can even see how this fantastic product is used to make miniature jars, have fun!
