Epoxy resin is a versatile and extremely adhesive product that can be used for a wide range of projects. It is heat resistant and durable, making it an excellent choice for creating things such as bar counter tops, jewelry, and coasters.  Epoxy resin is activated by mixing epoxy, which is a polyepoxide, or thermosetting resin, and resin, which is an insoluble, flammable organic substance, with a hardening agent.  While it’s a better choice to choose a colored epoxy resin, if you wish to color your epoxy resin with acrylic paint, it can be done. The key to successfully combining acrylic paint with epoxy resin is using the right ratio when mixing. Make sure to use 1 part acrylic paint to 10 parts epoxy resin for best results.
