FAQ's
The recommended ratio of resin to hardener is 100:1 to 100:3 by weight. For every 100g of resin you add 1g to 3g of hardener. Our epo-fusion clear or beige resin requires more hardener, so nearer to the 100:3 ratio. This is roughly a golf ball amount of resin to a pea sized amount of hardener.
Yes our resin can be used outside. Be sure to purchase our Epo-fusion resin for outdoor applications.
Yes! our Epo-fusion resin is best suited to be used in a shower or wet room as it is waterproof.
Check out our colour matching guide to find out which base resin is best for you.
Which resin do I need?
Epo-fusion:
When would I use Epo-fusion?
Epo-Fusion is our versatile, all-purpose resin — ideal for a wide range of decorative and practical applications. It’s most commonly used as a decorative mitre filler, providing a smooth and durable finish. Epo-Fusion can also be used for light bonding tasks, though for heavy-duty bonding or fabrication work, we recommend our Part A & Part B Resin System for maximum strength. This resin performs excellently both indoors and outdoors, and is also suitable for use in wet rooms
For instructions on use please see our application guide.
Properties:
- Epoxy vinyl based
- waterproof
- UV resistant
- Flexible
- Durable
- Strong adhesion
- Glossy/satin finish when cured
- Non-slump (holds its form for easy application)
- Fast Cure – cures in roughly 10-20 minuets.
- Stays the same colour when wet
- Available in Clear, brilliant white, black and beige
- Can be altered using our Elita pigments
Part A part B bonding resin:
When would I use part A part B bonding resin?
Our Part A & Part B Resin System is a slow-curing, high-strength resin designed specifically for bonding and fabrication applications. It delivers a robust and reliable hold, making it ideal where durability and structural integrity are essential.
This resin is not suitable for decorative or surface use, as it naturally yellows and discolours over time. However, it remains highly versatile and can be used indoors, outdoors, and even in wet rooms, ensuring long-lasting performance in demanding environments.
For instructions on use please see our application guide.
Properties:
- incredibly strong bonding strength
- flexible
- Discolours/yellows – NOT for decorative purposes
- slow cure – fully cured in 24-48hrs
Easy sand:
When would I use Easy sand?
Easy Sand is our budget-friendly resin, offering excellent value for money with its generous 1.5kg tins — perfect for cost-effective projects without compromising on quality. This resin is intended for indoor use only and should be applied in dry environments.
It is not suitable for wet rooms or areas exposed to moisture, making it best suited for interior decorative and light-duty applications.
For instructions on use please see our application guide.
Properties:
- Polyester based
- Matt finish
- Easy to sand when cured
- Not as durable compared to eco-fusion
- Changes colour when wet
- Not waterproof
- UV resistant
- Not Flexible
- Available in White, Black and Beige
Application guide
What should my mitres look like?
Mitre angle:
Mitres should be cut at 45 degrees or lesser. A lesser angle allows the mitre resin to form a triangular shape which wedges into the mitre joint, reducing the chance of it popping out.
Mitre gap:
An ideal mitre gap is between 1 mm and 2 mm. This size provides both a strong bond and an aesthetic finish. Larger gaps become more noticeable, require more resin, and increase the risk of resin cracking.
Tile bonding and stability:
When bonding tiles to a surface, there should be minimal movement and a fully supported tile bed. Any significant movement of the tile or mitre can cause cracks in the resin.
Cleanliness and dryness:
Remove any excess adhesive or cement from within the mitre joint before applying resin. The mitre must be free of water or moisture. Ensure all adhesive or cement is fully cured, and dry out any residual moisture before starting resin application. Use acetone or a similar cleaner that leaves no residue to thoroughly clean the mitre and the surrounding tile surfaces. This removes dirt, grease, and contaminants to ensure optimal adhesion.
Preparation phase
Choose either painter’s tape or preparation wax to protect the tile edges adjacent to the mitre joint, This controls excess adhesive, creates a neat finish and makes cleaning up easier:
Painter’s Tape: Use any basic painter’s tape. Apply it as close to the mitre edge as possible, leaving a small gap of 1 to 2 mm is acceptable.
Preparation Wax: Alternatively, apply preparation wax close to the mitre’s edge. Be extremely careful not to get wax inside the mitre joint, as this will prevent the resin from adhering properly.
Colour matching
At this point you’ll need to colour match your resin to the tile your using, please refer to our colou matching guide doe tips and tricks.
Mixing ratios and mixing
What is the right ratio of resin to hardener?
The recommended ratio of resin to hardener is between 100:1 to 100:3. That means for every 100g of resin you should add between 1 and 3g of hardener.
What does that look like? Typically that would compare to a golf ball amount of resin to a pea size amount of hardener. However if you are new to using resin, wed thoroughly recommend using a set of micro scales to weigh out the resin and hardener.
NOTE: our repo-fusion gear and beige resin requires more hardener to properly cure, you need to be using the ratio 100:3 when using the clear or beige resin.
We thoroughly recommend doing a test batch or resin and hardener before committing to adding any resin to mitres, if you find your resin isn’t setting please refer to our troubleshooting guide.
For best results, mix epoxy resin in small batches to avoid it curing before application. A golf ball-sized amount of resin typically covers around 1–2 linear meters of mitres, depending on their thickness and depth. Measure out the required amount of resin and place it onto a clean surface of your Elita mixing board. Then, dispense the corresponding amount of hardener beside the resin, ready for blending. You can now use your mixing stick to start mixing the resin, be sure to thoroughly turn over the resin and mix in all the resin around the edges, mixing should take roughly 1-2 minuets.
