Resins for crafts and decoration

Resin is the backbone material of most hobby projects: it lets you encapsulate elements, make jewellery, create water effects or build decorative pieces in free-form shapes. Depending on how you use it, you'll need a different formulation: high transparency for jewellery, great thickness for tables and sculptures, fast cure for short runs, or water-based if you want to work without solvents.

Transparent epoxy resins

The ClearWater range of epoxy resins are formulated with UV filter and high optical clarity. They're the go-to choice for jewellery, doming, encapsulations and fluid art. Depending on the thickness of the piece you want to make, choose between the standard version or the Deep Pour, which allows pours of up to 12 cm in a single session.

ClearWater Epoxi -Resina Transparente para Joyería- Transparent, 1:1 mix ratio, 30 min working time.

Moulds: silicones for reproducing pieces in series

Making your own mould lets you reproduce a piece as many times as you need with complete fidelity to the original. Condensation silicones are the most widely used in hobbies and crafts because they don't require vacuum, are compatible with most resins and have a short learning curve. For moulding pieces with complex geometries or pronounced undercuts, choose a low Shore A hardness silicone. For flatter surfaces or production moulds, medium hardnesses offer greater tear resistance.

Resin 3D printing for scale modelling

3D printing with photopolymer resins has transformed scale modelling and miniature making: it lets you get pieces with detail down to tens of microns, without cutting tools and directly from a digital file. At Feroca you'll find resins for every use case, from board game miniatures to technical prototypes, along with printers, consumables and post-processing tools.

Photopolymer resins for LCD/MSLA printers

The choice of resin determines the detail, strength and final finish of the piece. For collector miniatures and gaming figures, low-shrinkage, high-definition resins are recommended. If you need functional parts, there are ABS-type formulations with greater toughness. Water-washable resins simplify post-processing when you don't want to work with isopropanol.

Resina 3D Phrozen Aqua-Gray 4K Grey 4K, low shrinkage, high precision.

Resina 3D Ameralabs TGM-7 Grey Rigidity-flexibility balance, ideal for miniatures.

Resina 3D Phrozen Water-Washable Model Gray Water-washable, easy post-processing without solvents.

Resin printers

Phrozen manufactures LCD/MSLA printers with high-resolution monochromatic screens. The compact format of the Sonic Mini 8K is the usual entry point for miniatures and small pieces, while the Mighty 8K expands the build volume without sacrificing resolution. For larger-scale runs, the Sonic Mega 8K offers a large-format print area with the same level of detail quality.

Impresora 3D Phrozen Sonic MEGA 8K V2 Large format 15", 330×185 mm print area.

3D printing post-processing

Once the piece is printed, post-processing determines the quality of the final finish. Washing removes uncured resin from surfaces, UV curing fully hardens the photopolymer, and deburring tools allow you to remove supports cleanly and precisely. If you print frequently, a washing station and a curing chamber significantly reduce processing time.

Clays for modelling and sculpture

Sio-2 natural clays are the standard tool for sculpture, free-form modelling and artisan ceramics. They harden in air or in an oven depending on the variety, without needing kiln firing in most cases, which makes them accessible for any workshop. For those who need greater detail on small surfaces or pieces for casting, J. Herbin Plastiline doesn't dry in air and holds its shape indefinitely until you decide to give it its final finish.

Pigments for resins, silicones and Jesmonite

Colour is an essential part of the finish of any piece. At Feroca you'll find pigments specific to each matrix: paste pigments for polyurethane and polyester resins, translucent ones for depth effects in epoxy, water-based dispersion pigments for Jesmonite, alcohol inks for fluid art and highly concentrated silicone pigments for prosthetics and special effects.

Finishes and paint for props and finished pieces

FullDip is a liquid vinyl in spray form that you apply in layers, peels off when you want to change the colour and perfectly withstands the typical conditions of use for props and scale models. It covers resin, EVA, plastic and metal without primer. Available in solid colours, metallic finishes, chameleon effect and candy colours.

Frequently asked questions

Which epoxy resin should I use for making jewellery and small pieces with a silicone mould?

For jewellery and small pieces in a silicone mould, the most common option is ClearWater Epoxi, which mixes at a 1:1 ratio by weight, has a 30-minute working time and cures at room temperature. If you want harder pieces in a short time, ClearWater Epoxi Super Fast reduces the cure to 1–2 hours. For the dome effect on stickers or flat surfaces, use ClearWater Epoxi Doming in its flexible or rigid version depending on the feel you're after. In all cases, work with nitrile gloves and in a ventilated space.

What's the difference between printing in resin and FDM filament for making miniatures?

LCD/MSLA resin printers reproduce details of 20–40 microns that FDM printers can't achieve with standard filament. For board game miniatures, collector figures and pieces with fine textures, photopolymer resin is the right technology. FDM is better suited to large, functional parts or when surface detail isn't critical. Post-processing in resin requires washing with isopropanol or water (depending on the resin type) and a final UV cure; with FDM you just need to remove the supports.

Can I use FRC Foam EVA foam with any contact adhesive?

High-density FRC Foam EVA foam bonds optimally with EVA Contact Pro, a toluene-free contact adhesive formulated specifically for this family of materials. Conventional contact adhesives with a high aromatic solvent content can attack the foam surface and weaken the bond. Apply the adhesive to both surfaces, let it flash off for 2–3 minutes and press together under pressure. For corner or profile bonds, a blast of hot air from a heat gun after bonding improves the seal.

Which silicone should I use for the mould if the original has lots of undercuts and complex geometry?

For pieces with pronounced undercuts, the most recommended silicone is EASYL 3520, with Shore A20, which thanks to its low hardness deforms enough to demould without damaging either the mould or the piece. If the geometry is very complex and you need to apply the silicone in layers rather than by pouring, EASYL Brushable is the right choice: its thixotropic formulation lets you brush it on without dripping, building the mould layer by layer. In both cases, if the original has porous surfaces, apply release agent before pouring the silicone.

Which pigments work with Jesmonite AC100 and won't lose colour over time?

The specific pigments for Jesmonite are water-based dispersion pigments compatible with the chemical base of AC100 resin. You have the individual Jesmonite pigments available, the Jesmonite Pigment Set of 15 jars with 13 colours, and the Set FLUO if you're looking for fluorescent shades. All of them offer UV resistance and high colour stability. Avoid using alcohol inks or oil-based pigments in Jesmonite because they're not compatible with the water base and can cause phase separation or long-term colour loss.
