Epoxy Res-iT’s Self-Levelling Formula

Why Epoxy Res-iT's Self-Levelling Formula Saves Your Project from Disaster

Introduction

Any resin enthusiast, hobbyist, or industrially minded professional is familiar with the pain: You have diligently prepared your epoxy mix, carefully poured it into a mould, and still the finished product does not appear smooth, even, or blemish-free. This is not only frustrating, it will also destroy your project.

Epoxy Res-iT self-levelling formula fits the bill there, since it functions equally as either a beginner or advanced resin, with the advantage of being able to form a smooth, glass-like surface with no additional effort. In this blog, we will explore what self-levelling epoxy is, why it matters, and how Epoxy Res-iT's advanced formula saves your projects from common disasters.

What is self-levelling epoxy?

In other words, self-levelling epoxy resin is designed in such a way that it can be spread evenly on its own. As opposed to streaking, lumping or ridgeing, the resin will automatically level itself out as a smooth, flat surface when poured.

• No streaks or brush marks; unlike varnishes or paints.
• Automatically fills gaps; perfect for embedding items.
• Creates a glass-like finish; smooth and flawless.

This property is critical whether you are making a jewelry piece, a resin river table, or coating an industrial floor.

Common Resin Disasters (and How Self-Levelling Fixes Them)

Without self-levelling, resin users often face these frustrating issues:

1. Uneven Surfaces

The disaster: Your cured resin looks lumpy or tilted.

How self-levelling helps: Epoxy Res-iT's formula balances itself out, creating a perfectly flat layer every time.

2. Brush Strokes or Roller Marks

The disaster: Marks left behind from applying resin with brushes.

How self-levelling helps: The formula smooths out automatically, leaving no visible strokes.

3. Resin Pooling or Thin Patches

The disaster: Resin collects in one area, leaving bare spots elsewhere.

How self-levelling works: The formula is evenly distributed on the whole surface and does not make puddles or patchy.

4. Trapped Air Bubbles

The disaster: Tiny bubbles ruin the glass-like look.

How self-levelling helps: A thinner, even spread makes bubbles easier to release with a torch or heat gun.

5. Wasted Time and Materials

The disaster: Extra sanding, re-pouring, or starting over.

How self-levelling helps: One pour is often enough—saving both resin and effort.

Why Epoxy Res-iT's Formula Stands Out

Many brands claim to be self-levelling, but Epoxy Res-iT's formula is trusted by thousands across the UK for several reasons:

• Crystal-Clear Finish; no yellowing, no haze.
• Bubble-Resistant; designed for fewer imperfections.
• Beginner-Friendly; you don't need professional skills for pro results.
• Durability; cures to a strong, scratch-resistant surface.
• Versatility; equally great for art, DIY, and industrial use.

Step-by-Step: How to Use Self-Levelling Resin for Best Results

Even with a high-quality formula, your technique matters. Here is how to make the most of Epoxy Res-iT's self-levelling properties:

1. Prepare Your Workspace:

• Work in a dust free, warm room 20-25°C.
• Flatten your table or surface to provide the resin with a flat surface to work on.

2. Mix the Resin Properly

• Add the resin to hardener in the exact 1:1 ratio.
• Gently mix in a folding motion to prevent the addition of bubbles.

3. Pour Evenly

• Pour resin in thin layers instead of all at once.
• Allow it to naturally spread; don't overwork it.

4. Remove Bubbles

• Sweep a torch or heat gun across the surface.
• Self-levelling helps bubbles rise to the top quickly, making removal easier.

5. Protect While Curing

• Cover your project with a box or tent to keep dust away.
• Let the self-levelling action do the hard work while it cures undisturbed.
