Which Epoxy Resin Should You Choose: Crystal, Honey, Extra Honey, or Wood PRO?

If you’re new to epoxy resin art or DIY projects, choosing the right type of epoxy resin can feel overwhelming.

At Artline Epoxy Resin, we offer several unique formulas: Crystal, Honey, Extra Honey, and Wood PRO.

Each of them has its own special characteristics and ideal use cases. In this guide, we’ll walk you through the key differences so you can choose the perfect resin for your next masterpiece.

🌟 Crystal Resin: Clear, Liquid, and Perfect for Molds

Epoxy resin type: Low viscosity, Liquid resin
Best for: Molds, Jewelry, Thin layers, Sealing of porouse materials, pouring dried flowers or plant

Crystal resin is one of our most popular choices. It has a low viscosity, which means it flows easily and levels out on its own.
You should choose Artline Crystal Resin because it offers exceptional water-like clarity, and a smooth, bubble-free layers — perfect for both professional artists and DIY enthusiasts looking for premium results.

Why choose Crystal?

• It cures crystal clear — perfect for transparent designs.

• Great for embedding small objects.

• Easy to work with thanks to its fluid texture.

• Also great for sealing wood or artwork.

Perfect for those starting out and looking to make elegant, see-through creations with ease.

🎨 Honey Resin: Bold, Thick, and Artistic

Epoxy resin type: High viscosity, Thick resin
Best for: Resin Art, Ocean Wave Art, Abstract Artwork

Honey resin is thicker than Crystal, which makes it a favorite among artists. Its high viscosity allows you to create beautiful waves and patterns without the colors blending too much — the colors stay distinct and maintain their unique patterns without merging together.

Why choose Honey?

• Ideal for creating textured, layered artwork, 3D effects

• Colors stay in place — great for precise designs.

• Allows for rich, defined layers and striking contrasts.

• Hardness of 95 Shore, while other resins typically have a hardness of 80–85

Use Honey resin when you want your colors to pop and your designs to stand out. It’s also excellent for techniques like lacing and creating ocean effects.

🧰 Extra Honey Resin: Ultra Thick, Ultra Durable

Epoxy resin type: Extra High viscosity, Extra Thick resin
Best for: Doming, Scratch-Resistant Coating, High-gloss Surfaces

Extra Honey takes everything you love about Honey and turns it up a notch. It’s our thickest resin, making it ideal for doming and super durable top coatings.

Why choose Extra Honey?

• Provides a strong, glossy surface.

• Resistant to scratches and wear.

• Excellent for coating trays, keychains, tables or surfaces that get touched often.

• Works great for doming applications.

If you're looking for a tough, long-lasting finish that also looks gorgeous, Extra Honey is your best bet.

🛍️ Wood PRO Resin: Deep Pour for Wood Projects

Epoxy resin type: Low viscosity, Liquid resinб, Pouring depth up to 6 cm
Best for: Wood Tables, River Tables, Countertops, Large Casting Projects

Wood PRO is specially made for woodworking. Its low viscosity formula lets it flow deeply into cracks, making it perfect for deep pours like river tables or embedding natural elements.

When choose Wood PRO?

• River tables

• Large molds

• Deep art pieces or sculptures

• Embedding objects in resin

Deep casting resin is specially formulated to cure slowly, which prevents excessive heat buildup and reduces the risk of cracking or yellowing in thick layers. If you use regular resin for deep pours, it might overheat or cure unevenly.
