Good quality product, great for making crafts, strong smell no leakage

I saw a lot of reviews on this about how it doesn't set or it sets too fast or blah blah. They all have no idea what they're doing and it shows.Based on the problems people claimed to had, for the "not setting right" they were not mixing it enough, or they failed to scrape the sides and bottom of the cups. Or they measured the two parts incorrectly. Either way, they just needed to measure and mix it better.For the people that said it sets too fast to get anything done or whatever. This speeds up the more you heat it up. I used a heat gun one of the times I was casting things and it started to set almost twice as fast as normal. I was shocked how much of a difference heat made. Now that I know that though, I can use it to my advantage and speed up the process dramatically by heating it for a while. I think it's a big plus to have the option of fast or slow.Anyways, besides debunking all the claims that this stuff doesn't work right. I also want to say, this stuff is awesome. It barely smells which is great. It's a fairly easy to deal with viscosity. It takes color well. It casts fantastically. It makes crystal clear and rock solid creations. I bet it would be just as good as a doming resin as it is at casting.The price is right, and the product is fantastic. I haven't found anything better than this stuff yet and I've used a good handful of other resins now. This is the best. I recommend it highly.

This was my first epoxy table project. It was a big one at 10' by 2'. This epoxy was very easy to work with, it gave about an hour worth of work time, and in around 10 or 12 hours was pretty dry. It was easy to get the bubbles out and the final flood coat came out perfectly clear.Couple of lessons, which were my fault. The table has to be flat, I had burned mine for affect and that caused the sides to come up some, this epoxy when drying is going to find the flat spot, or I mean its going to self level, but it can't if the what you are pouring it over isn't completely flat.Mix it 1 to 1 and I put the hardner in first and then poured the resin on top, I had mixed with a mixing stick for 3-4 min and you tell when its ready because it goes from cloudy to clear.I am buying more of this brand to use on my next project which is going to be a river pour, once you do one you get the bug to do more projects.Worked great for me!

Good and clear. Hardens good. Can lay an even coat as it’s self leveling as long as you project is level. Hardest part is getting all air bubbles out but that could take practice to see what works best.

Works great

Great value for the price. I had zero issues and even with it measuring by volume (ie equal part to part), this resin was very forgiving and set up hard and clear. Excellent for beginners. Even tho it's inexpensive, this is not 'cheap' resin. Did a great job in larger suncatcher hearts and smaller rune tiles.Some hints to help with bubbling:Warm your resin before u begin to pour. Water bathing the jug works well.Add the resin to the hardener instead of vice versaPour the resin into the hardener slowly. Stir slowlycounterclockwise to begin mixing and once u see striations beginning to clear, scrape bottom and sides and bring that into your stirring. Stir for a full 3 mins til clear and avoid 'dragging and dripping' your stirrer in and out of the mix as that creates bubbling.Let your cup of mixed resin/hardener sit for 2 mins to allow bubbles yo come up. U can hit the bubbles remaining w a heatgun or torch, but be aware that this may slightly accelerate your curing. At 30 mins, this epoxy is already on its way to initial set

The media could not be loaded. This was my first time using this brand of resin. I reached out to the vendor to verify that it is food safe since I am making snack trays. The vendor responded promptly to say that it is FDA approved, so that's a point in their favor. It is easy to mix with fairly few bubbles and not too much smell. However, when I first used it, after curing for 24 hours, the tray was sticky and malleable so I set it aside to wait another day. When the tray was still sticky I assumed I'd done something wrong and decided to try another one. My second attempt was slightly harder, but still sticky. Same thing with my third try. After some research on how to deal with soft, sticky items, I tried baking the trays at 150° one at a time in my sublimation oven. The first round I baked them for 3 hours each, with the result that only one of the three lost its stickiness. So, I baked two of them again, one at a time, again at 150° for 3 hours each. One of these two is less sticky, but both are still malleable as you can see in the attached video. The worst part? Following someone's suggestion that you could sand off any slightly sticky parts and re-pour the resin, I sanded both trays. Because of the slight stick I couldn't just wipe the resulting dust off, so I washed them in warm water. When exposed to the warmth of the water, I was able to bend the thicker one significantly. The thinner one began to droop in my hands. There is no way I would be able to use these trays to deliver hot coffee or food to anyone, which was my goal for when my husband is recovering from back surgery early next year. I'd say these trays could be used as rolling trays or big paperweights, but I'd be afraid that anything you put on them would stick. As much as I wanted to like this product, I can't recommend it, especially if you're making something that needs to cure hard and be heat tolerant.
