Demystifying Resin: From Construction to Craft

HAKSONS HIGH GLOSS RESIN AND HARDENER

Epoxy Resin sounds like a complex chemical that only trained professionals can use.

The bottles have plenty of instructions, and besides, nobody had seen it in an arts and crafts store. We started playing with epoxy resin several years ago. We made simple coasters, coated some leftover wood. It was incredibly easy to use, and it created the most elegant finished products. We wondered why this material was not used more. 

The vision with Haksons was to bring epoxy resin into every home, into every budding artist’s supply cabinet and bring to the mainstream an art form that was satisfying, endearing and beautiful. In 2015, we first tried packaging resin for the common man. We started creating tutorials so our customers could use. Between then and now, we have managed to exponentially grow and introduce resin art to thousands of Indians.

Through the years, we met and connected with so many fascinating people. People like you, who supported us, believed in us and gave us incredibly valuable feedback and suggestions. You used our products to create furniture, jewellery, showpieces and pushed the envelope of resin art.  With every passing day, we got more valuable insights, fresh perspectives we needed to incorporate and new problems we needed to solve.

After months of research, planning and thought, we can finally bring to you Haksons, revamped and ready to go!

Haksons High Gloss Epozy Resin Packaging

We wanted to make resin safe and easy to use. Our custom made charcoal grey bottles are unique, to ensure that our customers are able to recognise original Haksons products. This box is your gateway to the world of resin art. The new packaging comes with a complete list of specifications, and access to tutorials and tools that will help you craft, whether you’re using the material for the first time or you’re a seasoned user. Straight from the packaging, you can scan QR codes that will take you to both simple and complex videos, with inspiration and instructions to using the product.

The past five years have been a journey of exponential growth and intense development.

We are grateful to our users and artists, who took the time to tell us how we could improve. We have spent a whole year trying, failing and then finally figuring out solutions and upgrades. Making improvements is a lifelong process, but this is a tremendous milestone for the BohriAli team.

Haksons High Gloss Epoxy Resin Pour

To those curious as to what exactly the new High Gloss resin is, and whether it in any way compromises on any of the features that were offered in the old resin.

Rest assured, that the new High Gloss Resin has all the features of the old one, with one small tweak that will only make the experience better. This change allows you to cast the resin on smaller castings up to 6 millimetres in moulds. Haksons High Gloss resin is still going to be the same self-levelling, easy to use, pigment friendly material that it has always been. It is still going to be the ideal resin with which you can create cells and lacing. With our new thicker plug, we have also managed to create a guaranteed leak-free package. This plug can only be removed with a screwdriver. 

With your participation, we hope we have come a little closer in showing India that resin is no longer a chemical, but a product comparable to a box of paints!
