DiY Epoxy vs. Artistry Epoxy: What Happened to “Speedy Petey” and What’s the Best Epoxy for Tumblers & Art?

Why You Can’t Find “Speedy Petey” & What Replaced It

If you’ve been Googling “Speedy Petey epoxy” and coming up empty, here’s the short answer:

• Speedy Petey = Our Fast Set.

• We kept the speed and clarity, then upgraded with:

  • Extra UV protection to fight yellowing

  • Better bubble-release tech to minimize microbubbles

  • Odor-free, food-safe finish when fully cured

If you loved dry-to-touch in ~2 hours and layering again in ~45 minutes, Fast Set is your match—just more forgiving and more durable.

Artisan Epoxy vs. Tumbler & Art Uses—Which Should You Choose?

Both formulas are crystal clear, high-gloss, and self-leveling. Choose based on speed vs. working time.

1) Fast Set (formerly “Speedy Petey” style)

Best when speed matters:

• Dry to touch ~2 hours, layer again ~45 minutes

• Ideal for tumblers, silicone molds, pop-up markets, and rush commissions

• Built-in UV+ and bubble release = fewer touch-ups and less torching

2) Artisan Epoxy (Regular Formula)

Best for detail and depth:

• Longer working time for intricate swirls, cells, and color work

• High-gloss, self-leveling finish that lays down glass-flat

• Heat resistance up to 500°F—perfect for trays, coasters, wall art, and deeper pours

• Also upgraded with UV+ and improved bubble release
