Epoxy Resin Ocean Wave Tutorial

Epoxy Resin Ocean Wave Tutorial with your NZ Epoxy Resin Guru Paul Morris #paulmorrisepoxyguru. Crafting waves in resin art is a lot of fun, but it can almost be near impossible if you do not have the right type of resin combined with the right technique for perfect results. Here, I will show you how to get perfect results every single time with the best resins for lacing/wave creation.

Firstly, you need a perfectly designed resin to create that beautiful lacing effect, which gives the appearance we expect from ocean wave formation. Now, there are a couple of great resins to use, bulleted below with other attributes, that we guarantee will give you that perfect wave effect if you follow our guidelines and video tutorials.

Top Wave Formation Resins

• PassionArt 1:1 Art craft resin

The PassionArt Craft resin is a 1:1 art craft resin designed by Resinzwood / Passionart company with the highest UV additives possible for New Zealand's harsh sun conditions. This resin works for 25 to 35 minutes at a room temperature of 21 degrees Celsius. As this is one of our designs, we highly recommend it for all types of Resin Art.

• Colour Passion Fast Cure resin has a very short working time in warmer places like parts of Australia and the Pacific Islands. Here in NZ, you get around 15 to 20 minutes before the resin is unworkable. The benefit of using a fast-cure resin is that you can produce artistic pieces that will cure within a 3-hour window. Kym will be doing some video tutorials on this product in the coming months.
• PassionArt 2:1 is a slower-curing resin with a working time of 30 to 40 minutes at 21c to 25c room temperature. Once again, this is one of Resinzwood / PassionArts' custom-designed resins for New Zealand's conditions with a high UV additive.

What Resin Should I Use

We have given you a list above of the best resins to create the perfect lacing and wave effects. However, it really comes down to user preference. Some people love the 1:1 PassionArt or Colour Passion resins, while others prefer the 2:1 ratio by weight resin. You need to try each product and see which works best for you.

Paste for Perfect Waves

To craft the perfect waves, you have to have the best resin and the best white paste to create the effect. Resinzwood has our own pastes that are okay, but we have found that the Colour Passion Top Cell White is by far the best product we have found in the global market. For the complete Ocean Kit to craft your scene from start to finish, we highly recommend these kits listed in the order we think is best.
