Dallas, TX – ArtResin has announced the launch of its newly upgraded Maker’s Torch, a redesigned tool aimed at improving the resin art process for creators. The updated model features a refined design, upgraded usability, and a new name that reflects its role in supporting the growing community of makers who rely on torches for achieving a flawless resin finish.
The unveiling of the new Maker’s Torch represents a continuation of ArtResin’s commitment to developing tools that address the specific needs of resin artists. Torching has long been recognised as an essential step in the resin art process. When applied correctly, the brief use of a flame across the surface eliminates bubbles that naturally form during mixing and pouring. This process ensures a smooth, professional-quality finish that other methods, such as air drying or heat guns, simply can’t provide.
According to the company, the decision to refine and reintroduce the torch stemmed from feedback gathered from artists and makers who use ArtResin in their creative projects. The new torch is designed not only for efficiency but also with safety and ease of use in mind. A carefully considered redesign includes ergonomic improvements and structural refinements that make the tool more dependable during regular use. The rebranded Maker’s Torch name highlights its connection to the hands-on creative community, while distancing the tool from more generic craft supply descriptions.
ArtResin CEO Ali Mutlu noted that the introduction of the updated torch reflects the company’s philosophy of listening closely to its customers and continuously enhancing the creative experience. “Our community of artists has always guided the direction of our products,” Mutlu explained. “Resin work requires tools that function consistently and reliably, and we knew that refining the design of our torch was an important step in helping artists achieve their best results. The new Maker’s Torch is built to make the process more intuitive, more precise, and ultimately more enjoyable.”
The role of torching in resin use is often overlooked by those new to the medium. Unlike paint or varnish, resin undergoes a chemical reaction when two parts are combined, which can result in trapped air. Left untreated, these bubbles rise to the surface and cure into imperfections. Passing a flame briefly across the surface releases the bubbles without harming the finish. This step is essential for professional-quality resin art, whether applied to paintings, jewellery, or functional pieces such as furniture coatings.
While some beginners may reach for a heat gun to release bubbles, it doesn’t reach the same high temperature as a flame. This means it needs to be used longer, increasing the risk of over-heating the resin surface which can cause imperfections in the cure. A torch, on the other hand, works faster and more effectively, leaving behind a flawless, glass-like surface.
With resin art continuing to grow in popularity worldwide, demand for purpose-built tools has risen. ArtResin’s introduction of the new Maker’s Torch comes at a time when many hobbyists are advancing to more ambitious projects and seeking equipment that matches their expanding skill set. By reworking its existing torch, the company has demonstrated a focus on ensuring that both new users and experienced makers have access to tools designed specifically for their needs.
The launch also underscores ArtResin’s place as an innovator within the resin community. Since its founding, the company has prioritised transparency, artist-led development, and safety in its product line. The Maker’s Torch joins a suite of tools and materials created to help artists explore resin while achieving reliable, repeatable outcomes.
ArtResin confirmed that the new Maker’s Torch will be available through its official channels and authorised distributors. For resin artists, the tool is intended to become a reliable addition to the creative process, embodying both functionality and the spirit of craftsmanship that defines the maker movement.
