Marbelux cures to a matte, stone-like finish, whereas epoxy resin cures clear and glossy. It sets much faster and is easier to use, making it ideal for beginners and home décor pieces.
Marbelux is mixed at a 3:1 ratio and comes with a liquid to mix in. The reason we provide a liquid is because it leaves a more silky & durable finish, compared to eco resins that mix with just water.
Marbelux sets in 30-60 minutes depending on the piece you are making.
You do not need to seal marbelux, that is totally optional. Without sealing you will still have a silky, concrete finish which is very nice to touch. If you are planning to use it for a candle holder we also do not recommend sealing it.
If you would like to seal it you can do so to make it more water resistant and give it a brighter finish. You can find our tutorial on how to make your own sealant here.
