Alumilite Amazing Clear Cast PLUS+ is a clear, two-part epoxy resin for a durable, high-gloss finish. Its easy-to-measure 1:1 mix ratio by volume and enhanced UV resistance make it a practical choice for clear finishing coats. Available from Resin Art NZ, New Zealand, this kit is offered for surface-coating projects such as glitter tumblers, plates and serving boards.
A clear finishing coat for your resin projects
Use this kit as a final thin, clear coating over an existing coloured resin layer. For this recommended finishing method, leave the topcoat clear: do not add colour or glitter. The transparent gloss lets the design beneath remain the focus.
UV resistance does not mean UV-proof. Epoxy can still yellow over time, and Amazing Clear Cast PLUS+ is not intended for permanent outdoor use or direct UV exposure.

Frequently asked questions
What is Amazing Clear Cast PLUS+ used for?
This kit is recommended here for surface coating, including a final clear finish over coloured resin on tumbler, plate and serving-board projects. Check the manufacturer's instructions for suitability for your intended application.
How does PLUS+ differ from regular Amazing Clear Cast?
PLUS+ adds enhanced UV resistance to help delay yellowing and has a longer cure schedule than the original Amazing Clear Cast. It still requires protection from permanent outdoor exposure.
Can I add pigment or glitter?
The manufacturer describes compatibility with suitable non-water-based colourants and recommends small compatibility tests. However, for this listing's recommended final clear-topcoat method, do not add colour or glitter to the finishing layer.
Can I pour it over oil-based paint or stain?
Do not apply it directly over oil-based paint or stain. Follow the manufacturer's instructions for a suitable barrier coat and surface preparation before applying epoxy.
Before you begin
Read the product label, technical data sheet and both safety data sheets before use. Wear suitable protective gloves and eye protection, work with adequate ventilation, and keep the components out of reach of children. Mixing resin and hardener generates heat; do not exceed the manufacturer's recommended application thickness. For food-contact projects, check the manufacturer's specific application and curing requirements before use.
