RESIN OUTLINES
Our range of acrylic resin outlines can be applied onto wood, glass, aluminium, stainless steel, ceramic or plastic providing a high profile professional gloss finish. Available in a range of colours including leaded light, black, grey, white, gold and silver. All outlines carry a ten year exterior guarantee. They can be applied to the surface matter by hand, pump or by automated machinery enabling any pencil drawing to be recreated onto glass.

The resins can be used to create various thicknesses of bead widths from 2 to 15 millimetres. The resins are naturally curing and with the introduction of our faster drying outlines can now cure 40% quicker than the existing resins we produced.

Examples above of grey, yellow and white resin. The yellow resin has been plotted around a glass bevel. Any colour outline is possible from blue, green, red as well as our standard colours.

Outlines are sold in 1 litre, 5 litre and 20 litre quantities. They each consist of 50% base in one tin and 50% hardener in another so on 1 litre you will receive 500ml base and 500ml hardener. Once the resin is mixed together it will start to harden therefore there is virtually no wastage. Once the resin is on the glass, it will start to form a skin after about 20 minutes. After an hour this panel can begin to be coloured or some customers prefer to colour the next day - it really is your choice. Once the resin is fully cured on the glass, it really is impossible to get it off.

INFILL COLOURS
Infinite colours are achievable from our range of 10 concentrated colour pigments which include white, black, red, blue, green, ruby red, cerise, violet, yellow and brown.. Our colours are totally UV stable and do not colour fade. Transparent, Opaque and marbled finishes are easily achieved to create stunning new effects.

With the Sign Industry in mind, we have also introduced glow colours. When used with black UV lights the colours are highly visible, perfect as an alternative to neon signs.

13 colour pigments can be made to any palette

Infill colours are available in 125ml or if required can be supplied in larger volumes.The infill colours are mixed with the colouring system which comes in a 1.1 mix. As the colours are very concentrate only a small amount is needed to add colour to a panel. The colours are applied using a pipette or an application bottle for large amounts of coloured surface.

The colouring system as stated comes as a 1:1 mix. Approximately 350ml -450ml colouring system will be enough to fully cover a single square metre of glass. Approximately 5-10ml colour pigment is added to this depending on the depth of the colour required. The colouring system contains a flow agent so is quick and easy to apply to the glass.

Applying the colouring system using a pipette.

SPRAY RESINS
Spray resins are applied in a totally different way to our outline resins and infills - please refer to the spray resin page for full details.

GLASSLINE
Glassline gives a perfectly clear high quality, high profile outline. Like our other outline resins it is a two part acrylic resin applied using either our resiflo hand pump or servo cad. Glassline creates a brilliant cut glass effect without having to use expensive glass cutting tools. It may also be used to turn a plain stock sheet into a beautiful beveled glass panel. Glassline can also be used with our colour pigments to give a fused glass effect to any panel. Glassline is again a 50:50 mix with base and hardener and is available as 1 litre, 5 litres or 20 litres. Glassline has to be applied using either the digital hand pump system or the semi automated machinery.

CRAZY BASE
A compliment to our colouring system giving yet another outstanding effect on any substrate is our Crazy Base Resin. This inexpensive and simple to use product will again bring countless more options for you to offer your customers. Crazy Base when used in conjunction with our infinite range of colours will cure to form a stunning cracked ice effect. Crazy base is painted onto the glass before it is coloured. The Crazy Base tin comes with a small brush to enable you to paint it on. Once the crazy base goes cloudy - usually 10 minutes or so, add the colouring system and colour pigment to it and you will start to see it 'crack' gicing the crazy effect!!

DIGITAL RESIFLO PUMP

The resin outlines can also be applied using our digital resiflo pump system. This is used like a pen and the resin is simply dispensed from a needle which is being traced over a design under glass. The resiflo pump is quick and easy to use and is ideal for the smaller user who only wants to create a few panels a day/week. The thickness of the outline can be altered using the resiflo pump. We sell the pump seperately or as part of a kit which also includes all of the resins and colours to manufacture decorative glass.

The pump is controlled by its own microchip processor which is regulated down to a 12V supply to the motor, making it very safe and an easy system to use.

The pump kit contains:

1 Digital pump, 1 litre black resin, 1 litre colouring system, 6 x 30ml colour pigments, 15 pipettes, 15 mixing pots, 5 x leur locks, 5 x static mixers, 5 x dispensing tips, full instructions.

STARTER BOTTLE KIT

Our starter bottle kit was introduced for the hobbyist and also for companies who wish to try the resins first before purchasing a pump/machine. The starter bottle kit includes application bottles which are used to apply the resin outlines as well as our colouring system, plasticware and cleaning fluids to enable you to use the plasticware over and over again.

The first starter kit consists of: 1 litre black resin outline, 6 x 30ml colour pigments, 1 litre colouring system, 1 litre flushing fluid, 15 x pipettes, 15 x colour pots, 10 x application bottles.

ANCILLARY ITEMS

To compliment our range of resins we also sell glass and machinery cleaning products along with plasticware to ease the application of our colouring products, We have a cleaning fluid for the pump - pump cleaner which comes in 1 litre tins. This is to be used when you are changing the colour of outline you are plotting.

Our flushing fluid can be used for a variety of purposes. Mainly for cleaning out the plasticware for you to use again and again. Some customers clean their pump with it but we find the pump cleaner is better whilst other customers use flushing fluid to clan the glass before applying the resin outline as they find it removes the oil on the glass quickly and efficiently. Flushing fluid is available in 1 litre tins.

To apply the colours we sell pipettes which are used to squeeze the colour onto the glass or plastic and the colour then finds its own level within the outline. The pipettes can be washed out and used again. To colour large panels it is recommended you use application bottles as they hold 125ml of colour system and are easier to colour large areas. To mix the colours in we sell colour pots which are 60ml capacity and are available in packs of 50 or 250. If mixing larger colours we have beakers which are sold as 250ml, 500ml and 1 litre capacity.

TIPS

What if I make a mistake? All mistakes can be rectified. If you make a mistake with the outline, it can be repaired immediately or you can leave it to dry and correct it the following day using a small craft knife. If you make a mistake with the colours, these can be rectified immediately using the pipette. Alternatively if the mistake is only noticed when the colours are dry, you can either use the craft knife to cut the colour out or use grade 0 wire wool over the colour. Once this has been 'rubbed down' you can go over the repaired area with the 1.1 colouring system to bring it back up to the perfect panel again.

How can I guarantee I mix the colours correctly each time? If you are producing a specific colour that you know you will need again, keep a recipe book of colours and note down how each one was made. This way you are guaranteed to produce the same colour the next time you mix the resins.

Am I limited to only flat glass ? No - we have also plotted the resin onto stipulite glass but ensure the glass is oil free before using our resin outline and infill colours. Some customers use our flushing fluid to clean patterned glass to ensure all oil is removed.

How will I know how much resin to order? If you have a servo cad machine the software has a costings facility and can tell you exactly how much resinoutline you will require. If you are using the system manually we can advise how much colour infill etc you will require.
