Acrylic resin

I highly recommend you use Jesmonite or Acrylic Resin instead of quick-set concrete, its easier to use and gives a better finish.

There is now a Jesmonite distributor in UAE!

They sell a good starter pack, Jesmonite AC100 pigments and everything you'll need for casting your final project.

Bio Resin

1 ) Pebeo Gedeo Crystal Bio resin : The same as I sue in the course. Try and buy a 750ml pack.

2 ) Resin art hub might also sell Bio resin and pigments for bio Resin/Epoxy.


Respirators:

Respirator for working with Resin. ( Typically 'Bio-Resin' contains some epoxy resin, so we need to protect ourselves for Epoxy resin )

There are many different types of Bio-resin (and Epoxy)  and types of masks. Here is a video explaining the difference between masks and respirators

I recommend a full face mask if you can source one, as they also protect your eyes. I only wear a half-mask because of my glasses, but both masks will filter out the resin fumes when used with the correct filters. Remember having good ventilation in your workspace is important too.

There are many types of masks and filters so ideally get a mask and filter combo that filter out both organic and inorganic vapours.

For the 3M Mask there are suggestions from many professional resin users for the right filter to use, but as I understand it 6055/6057/6059 will provide protection from resin fumes.

1 ) Full face mask includes filters.  (which includes filters)

2 ) 3M half mask and Filters (you need to buy both).

2 ) 3M full face mask and Filters (you need to buy both).

3 ) Parcil PD-101 full face mask  (which includes filters)
