This is by far the largest project I have tackled using resin. I have been planning to create a resin splashback for my kitchen. I gave the kitchen cupboards a makeover two years ago, but put off the splashback, as I didn’t know how to tackle the area behind the cooktop.
Resin is not fire-rated to go behind the cooktop and here lies the problem. So I came up with a solution and installed a glass splashback just behind the cooktop and then made the resin panels to fit around it.
Needless to say, I am delighted with the finished piece.
For this project I used:
- 6mm Glass Splashback for behind the cooktop
- 6mm MDF panels, cut to size
- Router for cutting the socket inserts
- Plunge saw and rails for the nice straight lines
- 6 litres of Liquid Glass Resin from U Resin: http://bit.ly/LiquidGlassResin

- Le Rez Expressions Epoxy Pigment Paste – Angel White: http://bit.ly/lerezmatpaste
- Chrome Spray Paint: https://amzn.to/31K0DDS
- Black Silicone to glue the panels in place

PS make sure you invest in some safety gear, like a respirator.
u have inspired to splash back but having trouble with a design and colours
i have a few examples. i like bright colours. i have try reds, yellow, blues, greens.
Hi Karen
I am delighted you have been inspired to create your own splashback.
I would recommend trying out your design on smaller boards and only tackle the bigger project when you are happy with the layout.
Good luck.

Hi Sue. Want to do a pour on an 8″ by 8″ stretched canvas. I am using
golden liquid paint – what would be a guideline on the amount of floetrol or silicone??
Will try to send a photo of my beach scene that was placed in the freezer. I like that composition, but will leave it for posterity. Thank you.
