UV Resin - 200g - Clear Hard Type UV Curing Acrylic Resin - UV & Solar Activated - UV Resin for DIY Jewellery Crafts, Casting, Coating, Craft & Jewelry Decoration by Palmero Crafts

I’ve been using resin for a while now and I often like to have a small supply of UV resin. I waited ages for this to arrive and finally got it a couple days ago.Well what a disappointment! It was clumpy like it was already drying in the bottle. I thought maybe this was just the top part and it just needed mixed. But when I used it, it cracked and bubbled and smoked under the UV light.Totally unusable!Do not buy this product! It is an expensive mistake. I am so glad I did not use this with anything valuable.I put it back in the post for return almost immediately. So angry I wasted my time on this!

I bought this as I was too impatient doing epoxy resin and I thought the uv resin would be so much quicker and easier... I was wrong. I have wasted the entire bottle just trying to get one decent outcome. Resin cures tacky and has a slightly greasy feel. I tried 3 different uv lights. A uv touch, a uv lamp and a nail lamp. Non cure it properly, although the nail lamp works the best.I found that it has more chance at curing if not mixed with colour, if mixed with colour I don't seem to get any hardness. With no colour I can get it slightly hard, still slightly flexible and still greasy though... which sucks cause then you need to sand and buff it.I also found that whilst under the uv it starts to form bubbles and air pockets. Pouring and curing in layers helped alittle but not much.Who knows maybe I had a bad bottle. Either way I wouldn't recommend or use this again.

This Chinese resin along with other brands of U.V. resin from China are absolutely useless. I have tried 4 different brands with the same results. It goes on quite nicely and domes really really good. But that is where the problems start. It becomes lumpy in different places under UV light and does not cure evenly. The finish is always uneven and when it cures it remains tacky and sticky forever. Useless, do not waste your money

I've played around with cheap two-part epoxy resins for various DIY and craft projects, but I hit a limit where that just wasn't giving me good enough results. Specifically, doing a resin-coat over a paper sticker on to 3d-printed (FDM) blank keyrings (for "If you find my keys, please contact..." needs). Cheap two-part epoxy resin worked "ok" initially (bit of a nuisance to work with due to the short pot life once mixed) but then turned yellow and ugly over further days and weeks. That wasn't good enough.Enter, this UV resin. I'd seen similar products (UV craft resins of various brands) demonstrated on various Youtube videos (both for casting with transparent or translucent moulds, and encapsulating) but this was my first time experimenting with it myself.It seems really nice to work with based on my experiments and experiences so far - a domed layer maybe 3mm thick was very well and fully cured after 6 minutes under a UV nail lamp (I'm using the Mylee 36W one, B00IYN8E1C is the ASIN) and once cured it seems pretty resilient to abuse. No signs yet of any yellowing, even with deliberate exposure to full daylight by putting a test piece on the windowsill for a few days.The cured resin seems to bond nicely to 3d-printed things, in PLA plastic at least. Many more experiments still to be done (like "can it be used as a smoothing top coat for printed things?") but it's performing nicely so far.

Got this to use in jewellery making, along with a UV nail lamp. I found it a bit frustrating at first, as there were no instructions with the resin regarding approx curing times. I contacted Palmero Concepts who confirmed with the manufacturer that no instructions were printed. Once I’d experimented with timings the resin cured well, to a high shine.Do not be put off by not having instructions, just keep curing the resin and checking cure and cure some more if needed. It really is a great product for the money.

UV resin for casting. A bit pricey for the volumn. Cost slightly less than 1kg silicone mould maker. Takes a good while to fully set in bright sunlight. No chance with a UV torch, perhaps a mains powered UV lamp. Slow setting maybe good for clearing bubbles but can get the same result keeping castings in the dark then cure when bubbles clear. Better if you have a vacuum chamber.Edit:-Used it with colourant to re-varnish wooden sections of some old and faded wind chimes...1st coat with high %age of colourant then dilute with resin for subsequent coats. Hang in the sun after painting and it's sets in minutes before the 2nd one is painted. Leaves a super glossy finish.

Nice and easy to use plus a really good sized bottle, I will say for some reason thought it came with a pointed top BUT having droppers still work well, Also drys REALLY quick in the sun so do not leave open.Third time ordering.

This is a Resin which you set using a UV light very quickly. You can purchase a UV torch on Amazon which does the job. I have used this resin to fix split Finger Nails, as well as various model making jobs, which it does very well. The resin sets in less than a minute and provides a good joint. It cannot however be used as a sealed jointing resin as the UV light cannot penetrate into the Joint. You get a lot of resin for the price which will cover many jobs. Just make sure you keep the resin away from the UV light when opened. You can use a small needle or thin rod to apply the resin to the required place. With the reservation that it cannot be used on sealed joints, I would recommend this resin for quick jointing of items.
