Introduction: When Clear Matters Most
Nothing ruins a beautiful epoxy resin project faster than yellowing. Whether you’re working on a wall art piece, river table, jewelry, or flower preservation, clarity is everything.
Over time, exposure to UV light, heat, moisture, and improper formulation can cause resin to turn yellow—especially lower-quality brands. But with the right knowledge, techniques, and the help of Magnifico ONE Resin, you can maintain long-lasting, crystal-clear results.
Why Does Epoxy Resin Turn Yellow?
Epoxy resin is a chemical compound that naturally tends to oxidize or react with UV light over time. Common causes of yellowing include:

Why Does Epoxy Resin Turn Yellow?
Epoxy resin is a chemical compound that naturally tends to oxidize or react with UV light over time. Common causes of yellowing include:
- Direct sunlight or UV exposure
- Improper resin mixing ratios
- Overheating during cure
- Moisture contamination
- Inferior resin formulation
But don’t worry—yellowing isn’t inevitable. It can be prevented with the right resin, materials and habits.

8 Pro Tips to Prevent Yellowing in Resin Art
1. Choose a High-Quality UV-Resistant Resin
Always start with a resin that contains UV inhibitors. Magnifico ONE Resin is specifically designed to resist sun exposure and yellowing over time.
2. Avoid Direct Sunlight
Even UV-resistant resin can yellow if constantly exposed to direct sunlight. Keep your finished resin artwork or décor indoors or behind UV-filtering glass.
3. Mix Accurately – Always 3:1
Incorrect ratios lead to soft, tacky resin that’s more vulnerable to yellowing. Stick to the exact 3:1 mix ratio recommended for Magnifico ONE Resin and stir thoroughly for 3–5 minutes.
4. Work in a Dust-Free, Dry Area
Humidity and dust can ruin the clarity of your pour. Use a closed, ventilated workspace to minimize moisture and contamination.
5. Avoid Using Incompatible Additives
Not all pigments or glitters are resin-safe. Some alcohol inks or water-based materials can react and accelerate yellowing. Use Epoxy resin-grade metallic pigments for best results.
6. Use Thin Layers for Thick Projects
When doing deep pour resin art, layer your resin in thin pours rather than a single thick pour to reduce heat buildup, which can discolor resin.
7. Cure at Stable Room Temperature
Ideal curing temperature for Magnifico ONE Resin is between 25–30°C. Avoid high-heat curing setups that may cause premature yellowing.
8. Seal Your Flowers or Porous Materials
When embedding botanicals or paper into resin, seal them first to prevent trapped moisture, which can lead to yellow tinting.
Final Thoughts: Keep Your Creations Clear for Years
Yellowing can ruin a great resin project—but it doesn’t have to. With smart techniques and Magnifico ONE Resin, you can protect your art’s clarity and longevity.
