Crystal Clear Epoxy Resin Kit 16oz - Food Safe, UV Resistant, Bubble Free | Casting & coating epoxy resin for jewelry, coasters, molds, art, wood & more. Bubble-free, low odor, USA based business

Super easy to use, great instructions, and great results! I used it to fill cracks in a live edge bartop and it worked flawlessly. I taped the bottom of the cracks and clamped a 2x4 to the bar under the tape, because the tape will sag and leak if left unsupported. I had a 1" wide crack to fill, about 2 feet long, as well as other various cracks. Couldn't be happier with the results. I even have some leftover.

Great tabletop epoxy product for my wood projects and filling voids. Follow the directions and it will come out great! A simple candlelighter eliminates all bubbles. It bonded very well to my deep pour epoxy projects (timing matters) and got many compliments. The epoxy resin product also sat in my garage for a LONG time before use and surprisengly didn’t yellow yet. So it has a bit of a shelf life too. Follow the instructions for mixing, timing, and temperature and it’ll come out great!

I use this epoxy resin a lot and have ordered it in several different sizes. The 1:1 mixing ratio is great because it’s very easy to blend and requires no calculations. It blends easily and truly does not yellow over time. You get about 40 minutes of work time, though it does start to get hot after about 30 minutes. My only real issue is that it bubbles quite a bit during the mixing process. Also, be sure to use a respirator mask because the fumes are very pungent. Overall, it’s a great product that I continue to use for my projects.

I love this resin! I use it for smaller casted objects (like charms and jewelry). It's very forgiving in terms of ratio, and is fairly easy to get bubbles out of, just mix slowly and carefully use a lighter or heat gun to help lift bubbles after pouring. I have a small vacuum chamber, and it gets rid of every single bubble like a charm. The cure time doesn't bother me, but it's definitely worth considering for projects you might be trying to finish sooner. It responds well to a variety of materials mixed into the liquid resin, too. I've used glitters, mica powder, specialized pigments from Solar Color Dust, liquid resin dyes, alcohol ink, and even small amounts of acrylic paint successfully. It is a bit sensitive to temperature though. In my experience, a temperature of 72-78 degrees in the area from the time they're poured until when they've cured does the trick. Whenever it's been exposed to much colder temperatures, especially in the first 24 hours or so of curing, I never got a full cure, and the pieces would end up not sticky but pretty malleable and not hard at all.

TL;DR: Best out of 6 different resin brands I tried, super long work time, 40 MINUTES no joke! Cures glass clear, plays well w/pigment, alch ink, paint, mica. “Let’s Resin” molds don’t play well w/Art N Glow, pieces stick, mold tears. NEED mold release spray, I use Castin Craft, then everything is right in the resin world again. (not resin/user error, only L.R. Molds. Read below for in depth explanation.) This is by far the BEST resin I’ve worked with. I was buying resin in smaller bottles to see which I liked the best, Art ‘N Glow was the sixth resin brand I bought & it’s the last. Long work time 40 mins after it’s mixed it’s still pourable & bubbles are almost nonexistent. When there are, they pop easily w/a touch of heat. Takes mica, alcohol ink, pigment & acrylic paints great & mixes easily. Mentioning it’s ease of pigments/paint cause other resin I bought, like Unicone Art did not, it took pigment but a few like green & black made resin have a weird reaction, it gelled instantly. Art N Glow works well w/an array of molds found on Amazon, but if it’s Let’s Resin Molds, I have to use mold release spray by Castin Craft (Hobby Lobby had best price). For some reason it’s only that particular brand, Lets Resins’ molds it sticks to after cured. No, it’s not user error, I’ll have 4-5 molds set out, pour my resin & next day, all but that particular brands mold come out with ease. It’s not the resin cause as mentioned I’ve tried many others. To be perfectly honest, I have yet to find a fault with this resin. I hope my review is thorough & perhaps helps someone. I’ll try my best to answer any questions submitted through Amazon up above the reviews section.

I've never done anything with resin before, but now seemed like a good enough time to try it out. I went ahead and gave it a go and this kit was relatively straightforward. I bought some pretty standard silicon molds from elsewhere on Amazon, just flat coasters and ornaments and tried out a few different applications and methods. This is about as many as I could make with the resin contained in this batch. (minus the pink and white one on the far left/top -- that is made with white Elmers glue, which is an inefficient method). All in all, I made 13 total coasters/ornaments, which is a decent amount. The quality of the resin seems fine, but you really do need to mix them for a decent amount of time to make sure that they properly set. I used wooden chopsticks and condiment cups from jello shots, which seemed to do the trick-- though I know some of the silicon mold kits come with mixing tools. For me, the two biggest takeaways were that a heat gun was a weirdly necessary tool. I already have one for heat shrinking electronics, but it helps to get rid of excess air bubbles and to get a nicer glossier finish and it's kind of a must? My quality on my casts got substantially better when I used it. The other is that this stuff is just about the most toxic substance I've worked with outside of spray insulation; when it says that you should wear gloves and a mask, it's really not kidding around. The fumes on this thing are pretty intense. Luckily one of the only perks of 2020 is that I have masks-a-plenty and a bunch of nitrile gloves, but without that, this hobby would have been super toxic. Just something to keep in mind. The first few prints are definitely the worst! I think it's still a good beginner hobby, something to learn on, and there's a lot of fun different things to play with and put in it. This kit was a decent entryway into it.

I mostly make small items. The first time I bought this, everything was fine except the last batch. When I got the new bottles, I realized that it was mix by volume and not weight. Nearly everything I've mixed after this has remained just soft enough to dent with my fingernail. I don’t know if it was a fluke when it worked when I was weighing it, but I've had more fails following the directions. I don’t know if this resin is very very sensitive to the amount of pigment that gets added, but nothing I've added pigment paste to has fully cured in the second bottle I've purchased. Mica and liquid/alcohol pigments are sometimes fine. Paste almost never fully cures. It seems like as long as it remains translucent,it will cure fine. Which is unfortunate, because I mostly do opaque items. But, again, it's just uncured enough that it can be dented when pressed. It seems to "spring" back after some time, but I obviously don't feel comfortable selling an item like this, so I've wasted a lot. You can see by my examples that worked that "just a little translucent" can still get you dark colors. I don’t mostly make dice though, I make doll eyes... which doesn't work as well if it's a little translucent. I really liked this resin. Enough I bought it a third time to see if I can trouble shoot more. The weight is really nice, especially for dice. It's also nice for small items, like doll eyes, since they feel more sturdy. I just can't find a reason to keep buying it if I can't use the resin paste, since that's my main pigment. I've tried adjusting the amount, but it only seems to work if it's a little translucent. I did really like the results I got that worked. Dice held up well when used and make the good clickety clack sounds. Colors are clear with no yellow undertones. Resin doesn't seem to yellow over time. The weight is nicer than other resin I've used, which can make very small items (in my case, doll eyes) feel less durable or cheap. I'm going to give up on this if I still can't get good results with round three, which will be a shame. Results are amazing when it actually works.

I actually got this confused with a previous resin I had bought since both have great reviews and resist yellowing. Anyway, this is very easy to use and is amazing at releasing most bubbles at the beginning of curing. It cures crystal clear as advertised and cures hard and smooth. But it has trouble curing fully on small chunky pours. This may very well be my fault, since I have no clue what volume the little round animal mold I bought holds and all resin companies include a max volume for effective curing in their directions. And I have no clue how the person in the reviews section with the picture of the cube managed to get their, what looks like a solid, cube to cure perfectly. But, after going back to the previous resin, I’ve decided to buy this for the tiny, no taller than a third of an inch molds I have, since it really is a spectacular resin. I was going to give this 4 stars due to the poor curing on my little animals, but since that is probably due to reading comprehension issues when reading the directions, I decided a 5 world be more accurate. Also because you need the right tool for each job. I don’t expect different brands of paint to be great for them same exact projects. The same should probably be said for resin. I only get grumpy about purchasing different versions of the same things cause I’m poor.

Thank you so much very good product
