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
Are Speedy Petey and Our Fast Set the Same?
Yes—Speedy Petey and our Fast Set are the same concept, now upgraded with extra UV and better bubble release. If you’re switching from DiY’s Speedy Petey, you’ll feel right at home with our Fast Set.
