About Pourla Epoxy Resin
Pourla Epoxy provides premium, easy-to-use art and deep pour epoxy resins for artists, crafters, and DIYers. Founded by Tony and Zack at UC Santa Barbara in 2020, we're passionate about making resin crafting enjoyable and rewarding, offering formulas that deliver stunning, durable results.
In 2020, at UC Santa Barbara, we (Tony and Zack) were frustrated by the lack of good, affordable resin. We spent a year in our garage lab developing our own formula, driven by the desire to create accessible, high-quality resin for fellow creators.
As resin artists, we know what matters. Pourla Epoxy is formulated for exceptional clarity, easy use, and lasting durability. Our Art Epoxy has a bubble-free formula and 1:1 mixing ratio, ideal for art, jewelry, and crafts. Our Deep Pour Epoxy handles thick pours up to 4 inches with minimal heat buildup, perfect for larger projects. We offer premium quality at an accessible price.
We're passionate about empowering creativity and fostering a thriving maker community. We're inspired by our customers' creations and believe in building connections and sharing inspiration to help artists and makers grow.
Queries Related to Product Information
Art Epoxy Resin is for thin pours (up to 1/4 inch), ideal for art, jewelry, and crafts with a high-gloss finish. It has a 1:1 mixing ratio and bubble-free formula.
Deep Pour Epoxy Resin is for thick pours (up to 4 inches), perfect for river tables, countertops, and large castings, with minimal heat buildup and exceptional clarity.
Pourla Art Epoxy Resin uses a 1:1 mixing ratio by volume. Deep Pour Epoxy's ratio is 2A:1B. Always follow the product label instructions and measure accurately.
Cure times vary based on temperature, humidity, and pour thickness. Art Epoxy generally cures in 24-72 hours. Deep Pour Epoxy may take several days, especially for thicker pours. Allow full curing before handling. See product instructions for details.
Deep Pour Epoxy Resin is engineered for pours up to 4 inches. Exceeding this can cause excessive heat buildup. For deeper pours, use multiple layers, allowing each to partially cure before the next.
Pourla Epoxy Resin is compatible with liquid and powder pigments (mica, metallics), alcohol inks, glitter, dyes, glow-in-the-dark powders, and fillers. Use resin-specific products and test a small batch first.
Store Pourla Epoxy in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Keep containers tightly sealed.
Work in a well-ventilated area, wear gloves and eye protection, avoid skin/eye contact, and wash thoroughly if contact occurs. Follow product label safety instructions.
Common Troubleshooting While Using Pourla Epoxy
To minimize bubbles: warm the resin (gently), mix slowly and thoroughly, use a heat gun/torch (with caution), pour slowly, or use a pressure pot (advanced).
Use the correct mixing ratio (Art Epoxy: 1:1, Deep Pour: 2A:1B). Measure by volume for small projects or weight for large projects. Mix thoroughly for 2-3 minutes, scraping the container.
Avoid incorrect mixing ratios, incomplete mixing, working in cold/humid environments, overheating the resin, and not using proper safety precautions such as gloves, eye protection, and ventilation.
Compatible molds include silicone, epoxy-safe plastic, sealed wood, and metal which may require a release agent.
Before curing: wipe with paper towels/rags and use isopropyl alcohol/acetone for residue.
After curing: scraping/sanding may be necessary. You can use drop cloths.
Sticky resin is usually due to incorrect mixing ratios, incomplete mixing, or improper curing conditions such as temperature/humidity.
Cloudiness/fogging can be caused by high humidity, low temperature, or moisture contamination. Work in a dry environment and store resin/hardener properly.
