What is the difference between glaze and resin?
A. Glazes are water based and dry using air. They are usually non-toxic and are normally not self-leveling. The drying times vary a little, but most glazes dry in about 15 minutes if applied in a single layer. Water based glazes are not waterproof, nor are they water resistant. You get it wet and you will most likely ruin the appearance or finish. Resin comes in different formulas, but they all cure chemically and are self-leveling. Some react to UV light, and others react to a hardener. Luxe resin will cure chemically in about 24 hours to touch and 48 hours to full hardness. Luxe resin is low odor, non-toxic and safe to use, It has a UV additive that helps protect from yellowing over time. It’s a versatile product to work with, whether you’re coating or filling your pieces. Resin is waterproof, sandable, drillable, etc.
