OUR GREATEST SUPPORT

October 27, 2019 by Alex Tseronis

It is with the heaviest of hearts, that we share this news with you all… Friday Night (25/10/19) was the last time we would be saying we love you and goodnight to our sweet baby boy, Sunshine. 🐶☀️

Sunshine was our greatest supporter and shared so much love and happiness with us and many of our customers that have met him over the past year as he spent his days with us, guarding the office but most importantly, mum. 💙

Whilst he barked like a big tough dog, he was as scared and nervous as ever and really just wanted to roll over and have you rub his belly.

He was always the first one ready for work every day, waiting by the door to hop in the car and be able to sit on the chair to look out the window. He always knew when it was lunch time, as he’d drag his plate and bark to tell you he was ready. Our precious boy was definitely more human than dog.

The past 7 months have been extremely hard for him with a collapsing trachea among a few other issues, which unfortunately we could no longer watch him struggle through even with his constant smiling face. What we thought would be just a check up, left us stunned when having to say our final goodbyes. 😪

Sunshine, Thank you for all the joy, unconditional love, laughter and constant happiness you have brought us over the years. You made every day better and brighter for us and so many others. We are truly devastated that you will no longer be by our side wherever we go. But we know you will be watching over us always as we continue to grow, in your honour.💙🐶👼

You will always be our Sunshine! ☀️ Shine bright. We love you. We miss you. Rest in Peace, sweet boy. 😪😘

U RESIN on tour!

August 27, 2019 by Alex Tseronis

WOW! What a year it’s been for our little U RESIN family so far. We are so incredibly grateful to each and every customer we have for helping us to grow and continue to share our products with you all.

I’m writing this on our plane ride home from our FIRST interstate trip in Adelaide where we just taught 2 incredible SOLD OUT classes. Our true resin journey began about 12 years ago in Adelaide, where the first (and only) customer we ever had was purchasing our resin for her artworks. 10 years later, and U RESIN came to life and began to share these products with the rest of Australia and (soon), internationally.

Finally being able to put faces to names for existing customers was an incredible experience and sharing our knowledge and advice on using our products and with everyone is absolutely thrilling and reminds us how lucky we are to be able to do what we love, every day.

We want to share a BIG thank you to Nina D’Antonio from Shattered Shapes for collaborating with us and helping us to make these workshops come to life! We are so pleased to have Nina as a friend, customer and Stockist of our various Resin Systems & colour pigments in Adelaide.

To view some of the photos and gorgeous artworks that were created by our students, head over to our Facebook page here: U RESIN Facebook Page

We used our latest artwork resin, U RESIN Liquid Glass with a wide range of Pigments, Mousses, Lustres & Metals from our U RESIN collection along with our favourite Metal & Metallic Powders and Epoxy Pastes from Art Tree Creations that we stock on our website here: www.uresin.com.au/shop.

Want to see us somewhere? Let us know! We are always exploring the interest of other locations to visit and teach and would love to meet every single one of our customers some day!

Until then! 😉

I Want To Create Cheeseboards! But Is It Safe?

April 11, 2018 by Alex Tseronis

It seems like more and more people are wanting to create their very own decorative cheeseboards, platters, etc. BUT there seems to be one main issue. IS resin ‘food safe’ or ‘food grade’?

Our products are not classed as ‘non-toxic’ or ‘food safe/ grade’. HOWEVER, if you are using resin to decorate a handle or small section of a cheeseboard, then using our resin is fine! Our U RESIN Thick/UV system is perfect to use on cheeseboards and for any ‘Incidental Food Contact / Contamination’ (but cannot be used to cover an entire serving board.)

For resin to be deemed as ‘safe’ for the incidental contact. The resin must be cured and post cured (this is EXTREMELY important!). If the resin is uncured or tacky in certain spots, this is no good and can cause leeching. This can cause health issues if food touches it, and is then digested. The board will not be ok to use if there is uncured resin left on there. It is best to start again. The resin should also not be used as a cutting surface or put into a dishwasher as this can cause leeching as the resin wears out, with more uses.

Keep it in mind

Something to keep in mind is the types of colours or additives you are using in the resin to create these boards. Some colours are non-toxic and others are not. Please be aware of the ingredients of the pigments. This impacts the chemistry of any brand resin and changes whether a resin is ‘non-toxic’ or ‘food safe’ if the colours are not deemed safe. (Please also follow the correct safety procedures provided with both pigments and resin)

As long as you are careful, and are aware of the limits of resin there should be no issues! Always remember safety first! If you would like more information please contact us via our contact page or send us a message via Facebook!

Welcome!
