Art Resin
A range of clear art resins and clear casting resins which can be used to create unique resin art, jewellery and resin river tables. Our clear resins are suitable for coating artwork, creating stunning pigmented resin art and creating amazing resin river tables, also known as resin live edge tables.
Casting Plaster
Plasters used for architectural castings, small craft castings etc.
Core Materials
Epoxy and Urethane Coatings
Rigid epoxy coatings are brushed on to protect 3D prints, rigid foams and other surfaces. Flexible UreCoat™ urethane coating will bond to many surfaces and can be used as a flexible coating for expanded polystyrene (EPS foam), fabric, some metals and plastics, wood, rope (make vines for zoo exhibits) and more. Colors and/or fillers can be added for an infinite variety of effects.
Epoxy Putties
Epoxy Putties are used for a variety of fabrication or sculpting applications and are available as rigid or semi-rigid. With several to choose from, these are easy to use “mix-and-apply by hand” systems. High-density epoxy putties can be textured and stamped to make artificial tree bark, vines, aquarium-safe coral pieces or flame-rated themed elements. Low-density putty is used for reinforcement, making lightweight elements and filleting for composite applications. Epoxy sculpting putty allows the user to sculpt fine detail with precision to create lasting works of art.
Epoxy Resin
Epoxy resins are used for a variety of industrial and art applications. They are a different class of resin chemistry and are generally stronger than other resins, offering superior physical and performance properties including higher heat resistance. Casting resins are used for making impact tooling or fixtures and are also used for encapsulating and potting applications. Laminating resins are used with glass fiber and other reinforcements to create indestructible lightweight parts for composite applications.
- Casting Epoxy
  Epoxy resins for casting applications such as jewellery, river tables, models etc.
- Laminating Epoxy
  Epoxy Resin systems for Laminating applications
Fibre Matting, Cloth and Tape
Glassfibre chopped strand matting, woven cloth, carbon fibre and hemp cloth.
- Glassfibre / Fibreglass Tapes
  Glassfibre Tape for repairs
- Woven Cloth
  Woven cloth for using with polyester and epoxy resins as part of a composite system.
Fibreglass Roofing Materials
Materials for fibreglass roofing.
Resin, matting, topcoat, catalyst, tools and trims.
Filler Powders For Resins
Fillers are often added to casting resins to change the properties of the plastic, lower the weight or achieve a variety of finishes including metal, stone, porcelain, marble, wood, etc.
- Metal Filler Powders
  Metal filler powders for creating cold-casting metallic effects
Glassfibre Kits – Repair and Create
A selection of pre-assembled kits to provide you with everything needed to complete a repair job, or a more ambitious fibreglass product.
Jesmonite Range
Jesmonite’s products are composite materials, a combination of a reactive material base and a pure water based acrylic resin.
