MDF and Acrylic Bases for Resin Art: How to Choose, Prepare and Design

MDF and acrylic bases can turn resin from a mould-only craft into a broader mixed-media design process.

MDF bases

MDF provides a workable surface for painting, lettering, mandala-style designs and resin coating. Because MDF is porous, preparation and sealing may be important.

Acrylic cutouts

Acrylic is useful for crisp lettering, shapes and layered visual elements. Choose thickness and design according to the application.

Preparation matters

Clean the surface, plan the layout and test compatibility of paints, adhesives, stickers and resin before the final piece.
