They invented the first craft resin: Envirotex Lite.
Environmental Technology Inc. (ETI) manufactures all the resin they sell.
This means they work with their own chemical engineers to create resins that are specially formulated for many different industries.

About Envirotex Lite
Envirotex Lite is known as a resin that can be poured over table tops or canvas and with one application is equal to 50 coats of varnish.
That sure is a time saver! Then crafty jewelers and artists came along
and started pouring it into interesting bezels and other enclosed
shapes.
You need to remember though that this resin was formulated for shallow pours.
Envirotex Lite – For Pours No Deeper than 1/8 of an inch.

About EasyCast
Seeing that so many consumers wanted to pour resin into deeper molds and cavities, ETI engineered EasyCast. EasyCast was designed to be used in a mold. This is really important because if you are pouring resin into a one inch deep mold...and you want to accomplish that in one step...this is the resin for you. The results are spectacular and I have several EasyCast posts on the blog already.
So when you think deep pour - think EasyCast.

About Jewelry Resin
And now the company is launching EnviroTex Jewelry Resin.
It is special and unique chemical engineering that created a resin that enhances the surface on which it is applied, resulting in brighter, deeper and more intense colors. EnviroTex® Jewelry Resin has amazing bubble release. It is easy and fun to use and has a pleasing citrus scent! Formulated for high resistance to light exposure and UV rays from the sun. When cured, the resin coating is extremely durable, waterproof, heat & chemical resistant.

This resin was designed to pour into bezels!
Again, working with the idea that most bezels are about 1/8 of an inch deep this resin works brilliantly for shallow pours.
Would it be possible to dip clay into a shallow pot of Envirotex Lite to give it a thin coat, and then hang it up to dry? I would like to use envirotex to seal the clay and any images upon it, but I can't use bottlecaps, settings or anything like that because of the specific shapes I want to keep the clay. If I were to dip it into a thin mixture, or apply a thin coat with a brush or stick, then hang it up to dry to keep it from sticking to any surfaces nearby, would this set properly?
ReplyDeleteHi Kim, Resin is pretty thick and I think if you "dip" clay pieces you might find a pool of resin at the bottom of the piece when you hang. I regularly brush resin across the surface of pieces...one side at a time. If you need a very light sealing coat you could also try ETI's spray: http://eti-usa.com/envirotex-spray/
ReplyDeleteHi, I have been asked to teach a class on making Resin jewelry in April (!!) and I would like to teach with a UV curing resin so the students can take it with them. Do you guys have a version of UV curing resin? Thank you very much!
