Deep-pour epoxy resin kitDeep-pour resin (1:1 or 2:1 mix) handles pours over 1 inch without excessive heat. Stone Coat and Total Boat have clear reputations.
Silicone casting moldsGeode, ocean wave, and square/oval molds are the workhorses for resin art. Silicone releases cleanly; plastic doesn't.
Mica pigment powder set24-48 color sets give you a usable palette. Mica powders mix into resin without clumping; liquid dye bleeds unpredictably.
UV curing lamp48W UV lamps cure UV resin in 60–120 seconds. Dual-source (UV + LED) lamps cure both types. Standard nail-lamp size works for small pours.
