MR. JO Artglue Series – Clear Epoxy Coatings for Artistic Brilliance

Craft. Coat. Create.
The MR. JO Artglue range is a family of clear epoxy coating systems designed for artists, artisans, and manufacturers who demand premium finishes with minimal effort. These systems offer a glassy, high-gloss appearance, excellent leveling, and safe, food-grade surfaces after full cure.

Each variant is formulated to meet specific working needs—whether you’re coating delicate artifacts, laminated graphics, coasters, trays, woodwork, or sculpted metal pieces.

✨ Common Features

• Excellent Flow & Self-Leveling: Creates a smooth, bubble-free finish with minimal effort.
• Solvent-Free Formulation: Low-odor and safe to use in studio or workshop settings.
• Strong Adhesion: Bonds well to wood, metal, stone, and graphic-laminated surfaces.
