I am not going to talk now about the types of resins, their areas of use and how they are used, all this information you can find <a href=\"https:\/\/revistadinlemn.ro\/en\/2017\/06\/07\/combining-wood-with-epoxy-resin\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>For my project I needed a resin that was transparent, odorless, would not yellow over time, would not shrink\/crack, would allow a thick layer to be poured to facilitate the embedding of objects.<\/p>\n<p>I would like to point out that it is imperative to consult the technical data sheet before use and to follow the instructions exactly.
