UV Resin-100g Upgraded Crystal Clear Hard Type UV Curing Premixed Epoxy Resin Starter Kit for Jewelry Making

First of all I have tried several uv resin brands in the past and have good and bad experiences so I was a little skeptical on this one. I could not be more happy with the quality and crystal clear results. It mixes well with glitter and other fillers. I have no issues with bubbles or curing. It cures very easily and even cures with my cheap uv flashlight. It seems to self level quite well. I will be purchasing this item again without a doubt. Just buy it because it's very worth it.

I was worried this resin would be too thin and runny when working with it, as it is a lot thinner than my other resin. However, it's not a problem, and it flows into nooks and crannies in my molds easier. Now for the best part: Almost NO odor! My last resin seemed great but the smell was horrendous and overwhelming. Not this resin! Very, very, low odor and extremely quick curing. Hard as a rock and crystal clear. Very happy! This is my go-to UV resin from now on.

I make small batches of one-of-a-kind jewelry pieces and accessories. This resin is perfect for that. It cures very well under UV light.This is a great resin for beginners! Very easy to use, it is very clear, and has very little air bubbles.Here are some tips and tricks for those of you just getting started with UV resin and to make sure you get the best results:Make sure you are using a transparent mold and cure from both sides. I do not recommend using any opaque molds. (Opaque molds are typically the pink or blue ones you see at here on Amazon, but they can come in other colors too.) There are a ton of transparent molds here on Amazon, just search for “UV Resin Mold” specifically. A majority of the molds I use have come from here. They will be clear to milky white, but clear enough for light to go through one side to the other. If you don’t use transparent molds, you will not be able to cure from both sides, and will have issues with your pieces fully curing.I also spray my molds with 91% rubbing alcohol, which helps to cut down on micro bubbles significantly. I also lightly mist 91% rubbing alcohol over the top once I have cast my molds to further rid my casts of any additional micro-bubbles, and then use a heat gun over the top for any stubborn bubbles, if there are any. (Note: Do not use a lighter over the top for bubbles if you spray them with alcohol!) Also, make sure you don’t spray too much alcohol, or it may take longer to cure under the UV light.My thickest pieces are typically less than a quarter inch thick, so curing time can vary from 2 to 5 minutes, depending on the density of mix-ins along with the thickness of the mold, and how many times I cure both front & back. Once I de-mold my pieces, I cure them on both sides under the UV light one more time to make sure they have cured all the way through.Speaking of mix-ins, make sure you are not using opaque dyes, mica powders, or too much opaque glitter. If light can’t get through the piece, it will not cure. I typically use transparent dyes along with glitter that is transparent polyester (no metal). It’s OK to throw a few little pieces that are not transparent into the mix, the key is making sure the mix isn’t entirely made up of opaque items or opaque dyes, otherwise, your items will not cure in the middle and turn out soft or “bendy”.I prefer UV resin over traditional resin, because I have such a small work area, and work with small items and small batches. UV resin makes it a lot easier for me to get through everything in one shot, rather than having to find a place for everything to sit while I wait 24 to 48 hours for everything to cure before I can de-mold. (Instant gratification!!)No resin is ever fume free, but the fumes from this resin is very light compared to others I have used. It smells very similar to a nail salon that does gel nails & acrylics. I highly recommend using in a well-ventilated area, using a respirator, and wearing gloves. Due to some of my pieces being extra small and needing precision, admittedly, I sometimes go without gloves, but I work right next to a sink and I am constantly washing my hands as soon as anything gets on them.I would not recommend UV resin for doing thicker pieces such as pyramids or larger clear orbs, pieces such as trays or boxes, or items with deeper molds. 2-part resin would work best for these. (And would be more cost-effective.)For jewelry pieces, key rings, hair clips, and other small items in smaller quantities, it is an excellent resin! I have tried many other resin brands, and this resin gets top marks for curing, clarity, and price!I hope this review helps some you just getting started with UV resin. Happy creating!

I have purchased other UV resin that has smelled so strong it gave me a bad headache. I have purchased This one 2 times and it is clear, low odor and cures fantastic. This will always be my go to UV resin

I bought several different UV resins before I finally tried this one because of the price. I learned the hard way not to use Alcohol Inks with UV resin. ANY UV resin. I made some pendants I was super proud of and they cured beautifully. A week or two later the colors became liquified deep inside and if I pressed on the solid outside at all the colors would blend together and become an ugly mess. I got online and researched to find out this is common with all UV resins. Idk why, it just is. It's some kind of chemical reaction. So now I only use either a bit of mica or resin pigments to color my UV resin. Just remember that no UV resin is meant to easily cure opaque colored resin. Not unless you plan to make super thin layers. So, to be fair, some of the negative reviews on this resin are due to user error. The only other resin I trust is JDiction or Let's Resin.

This is only the third brand of UV resin I have used, but it will be the last, the one I will use forever. Perfect consistency. Low odor? NO odor, at least none I can detect. Cures in less than 5 minutes in the northern Gulf Coast sun. If I could marry this stuff, I think I would.

This was a LIFE SAVER after two failed attempts with resin we had to mix! Dry time in the sun was super fast! Easy to use!

this resin is way better quality than the stuff i first got at michaels. it is more clear and doesnt yellow or get foggy, it also cures faster and doesnt stay sticky

L’ho ordinato e ci ha messo quasi un mese ad arrivare. La comodità sta sicuramente nel fatto che grazie alla lampada uv questo tipo di resina catalizza subito e quindi si puó realizzare velocemente un ciondolo. Quello che mi lascia un po’ perplessa è che questa marca dopo la catalizzazione rimane un po’ appiccicosa. Non credo che la ricompreró

Prodotto arrivato integro e in perfetta tempistica. L unica pecca è la quantità..avrei preferito una bottiglia più grande ma funziona benissimo, indurisce tranquillamente sotto UV e non si spezza e si usa facilmente.

Premetto che è il primo utilizzo con la resina epossidica! Mi sono affidata alle recensioni e mi è sembrata di buona qualità e facile da lavorare, un po' cara per la quantità di resina, conviene acquistare un barattolo più grande che in proporzione alla quantità vai a risparmiare un po!

Scusate il termine ma fa veramente schifo. Non serve a nulla. Non è in grado di incollare 2 pezzi di plastica.

Velocissima e conforme
