Australia’s first non-yellowing resin. A revolutionary product, created by the Oakfield team. This resin is ideal for top coats, castings, ocean waves, tumblers, jewellery, candle stands, ash trays or any item that requires a full gloss finish that is extremely scratch resistant, heat tolerant, is to be used in full sun or requires 100% food safety. This is NOT an epoxy (its a modified polyurea), so behaves very differently to an epoxy. Please note: This resin can be used for casting AND for coating (we know that is usually not possible.. but ResinNext is very different). It has many amazing features such as:
  • Non yellowing resin - will never (ever) yellow
  • Is 100% food safe. Zero BPA and zero VOC
  • 20 minute work time, with full cure in only 5-6 hours
  • Use as a flood coat, doming, castings, ocean waves, jewellery, keepsake pieces etc. Can be poured at depth too if you wish (up to 50mm deep, but in Volumes up to 2L per pour). If using for a river table, pour 2L at a time, waiting 2 hours between each layer)
  • Crystal clear and glossy (unlike wood putty, fillers etc.)
  • Will not blush in high humidity
  • Very tough and scratch resistant
  • Shore D hardness of >90
  • Very temperature resistant (over 100 degrees Celsius), so can be used outside in direct sunlight. It will not soften or go yellow.
  • pH neutral, so won’t damage flowers or delicate items whilst curing
  • Can be tinted to whatever colour you wish (mica and pigment pastes only)
  • Not affected by UV light
Please note: This resin does not release air bubbles as well as our other products. For best results we recommend de-gassing your mix in a vacuum chamber for 2-3 mins before pouring. If only doing a thin layer, a few passes with a butane torch is sufficient. This resin also has a better wetting ability than epoxy, so for flood coats and doming we recommend you sand up to 600 grit. Do not use alcohol or water based tints – only mica powders or oil based pastes are suitable. ResinNext is measured 1:1 by weight ResinNext does NOT adhere very well to precious metals such as silver, gold, platinum etc. We suggest using a dab of epoxy to act as a primer between RN and the metal. Another option is to use a pressure sensitive adhesive.

I used this resin to create some products I plan to sell. Since it's relatively new, I'll try and be thorough with my review. My first couple of pours were mostly trial and error. This resin has slight shrinkage, so keep that in mind. Additionally, I'd say the working time is anywhere between 5-10 minutes in the current climate in Queensland which can be difficult, however it was easy to adjust my work to accommodate. Although Oakfield suggests not using alcohol ink dye, I found it worked quite well for me personally. The ink mixed seamlessly with the resin. Once fully cured, the durability is out of this world. I conducted a durability test on the resin to see how it would hold up. On a 20mm cylinder, it took around 30 hard impacts with concrete before it cracked, keeping in mind I HAVENT used a vacuum chamber to reduce bubbles, which would have affected the integrity. The clarity is also extremely satisfactory and true to it's word. Overall, I would say there is no reason to purchase epoxy resin when Resin next exists. I will be purchasing more soon as well as a vacuum chamber.
