How to Make Coasters with PassionArt Craft Resin
How to Make Coasters with PassionArt Craft Resin with Lynn and Paul Passionart from Northland Resin, Resinzwood, Resin Wood Tables NZ. The Passionart Craft Resin contary to other importers that try to obscure our products is fast becoming the go-to choice of resin artists across New Zealand due to the modifications it has had during the manufacturing process with the addition of a higher amount of UV additives that make it a step above the other Crekoat products that are imported by other resin companies in New Zealand.
The Passionart Craft Resin was primarily designed as an all rounder you could say being suitable for a vast array of resin art concepts as well as being a very good product for doing your final flood coats over artworks or river tables. Lynn and myself use this product for making coasters and it is our number one go to product that we use in most of our resin art classes that we do around New Zealand.

How to Mix Passionart Craft Resin
You will want to have your resin at a warm room temp above 20C but if your resin is cold boil the
kettle and pour the water into a container then add both Part A Resin and Part B Hardener and let them sit there for around fifteen minutes. Just a note here: this will speed up the working time so to slow things down a bit only pre-heat the Part A Resin.
- Preheat your PassionArt Craft resin
- Calculate the volume you require using the app on our website
- Add Part B to the mixing container then add Part A as this will ensure all of the resin contacts the hardener
- Now mix for three to four minutes ensuring to scrape the sides and bottom of the conatainer
- Make sure the PassionArt Craft resin is streak free and clear. If not mix a little longer
- Ensure your coaster mould is clean and free of any dust
- Now divide your resin into a few containers if you want to do multiple colours
- You have so many options now depending of the type of coaster you are going to craft. For this example let us say you were doing a floral scene and your coaster is say 8mm thick.
- Pour about one third clear resin into the coaster then add your dried flowers.
- Use tweezers to push your flowers down into the resin along with other mediums and wait till the resin is very thick to hard.
- Now you can add your backing coat of resin. Generally we like this to be a deep contrasting colour to achieve the maximum Wow factor, effect.
- Wait till your coaster is fully cured, twelve to thirtysix hours depending on your rooms tempreture before you do the great reveal.
For crafting coasters this is a very good product that can be used with all of our High Quality, Micas, Metallics, Dyes and inks allowing you to craft the perfect coasters for friends and Whanau. We even have Custom Starter Kits available for making coasters as well as other kitsets for being creative with our Deep Pour products.
