Crystal Clear Epoxy Resin – Food Safe, High Gloss 1:1 Ratio Resin for Bar Tops, Wood, Art, Jewelry, Casting, Coating, and Mold Making – 1 Gallon Kit

I love this resin. I’ve used many different brands over the past two years. Ultimately for me it comes down to finding a resin that is affordable but provides quality results. This resin is it! I’ve used it for a variety of projects from coasters, wall decor, trays to table tops and more. I’m impressed every time. It’s easy to use and very effortless to achieve clear, glossy, bubble free pieces. These products are measured by weight and the bottles are generally larger than the volume of the liquid (in response to the review complaining about the level of liquid), I weighed both of my bottles and they were spot on (even more) than the labeled kg. This resin has a long work time which is awesome!! Much longer than I’m used to which is great, I don’t waste any resin and I’m able to create more detailed pieces and not feel like I’m in a sprint to finish before the resin turns to garbage. This resin provides well over 30 mins of work time, I didn’t time it but I’ve taken my sweet time on some pours and this resin was perfect from start to finish. Thinner pieces take longer to harden and remain more flexible, I’d say over 24 hrs to harden enough to remove from molds and then an additional day or so to fully harden. But they will harden. Thicker pieces harden in less than 24 hours. All of my pieces have cured to gorgeous smooth, level, clear, glossy pieces and I am so happy every time. I love that this resin doesn't get hot too! It appears to be self-leveling and getting clear bubble free pieces are easy. It does have an odor, a strong odor during mixing but that goes away once poured. You should also be wearing ppe! (NITRILE gloves, a respirator for organic vapors, eye protection, apron, etc!) If anyone has issues with this product I’d suggest first that you research tips and how-to’s on using resin with the best results first before blaming the resin. You need to pour your two equal parts, pour the hardener into the resin, mix SLOWLY for 3-5 mins, pour into a clean cup, continue mixing for a few more minutes. The resin will get cloudy and streaky when you start mixing, keep mixing until it is totally clear and like water. Then you are ready to pour or add in your tints/dyes/pigments/inks/glitters/whatever you’d like. I’ve added some pictures but have tons more of what I’ve created with this resin. I’ve switched to only using this resin. Really happy with this brand!!

I have worked with resin for about 4 years now and tried several different types. I was a hardcore liquid diamonds resin fan but have been running into issues recently with clarity so I decided to give this resin a try. When I first started using this I realized how much more thick and bubbly it was compared liquid diamond so I was a bit hesitant. I also read reviews that this didn't cure in 24 hours so I was a bit nervous. As it turns out, the slow cure time is an added bonus because you have extra time to pop and remove all of the micro bubbles. If you set the heat in your room high, the temperature works at removing the bubbles and curing the piece. These necklaces cured completely hard within 24 hours in a room temped at 81°. I found the resin very easy to use although the bubbles were a bit frustrating (with how thick this resin is I'm not surprised). I really like this resin and can't wait to try it out work my larger pieces!! These cabs were crystal clear, rock hard, shiny and without clarity issues. I highly recommend! The person who ordered these necklaces are in love with the final product too. Not only does this resin work great but it's also more reasonably priced compared to other resin brands I've tried. I'll update my review once I make a big dome

Good.

Very good product. The drying time I would say is even less than advertised. I would say that if you have a project do all of it at once because mixing up more to cover open spots those spots didn't flow very well. In the final product those spots stick out.

I received this product for a review. I have been using resin for over a year now. When I first began I tried about 3 different ones before settling on the brand I currently use. Given that I received this at no cost in exchange for feedback I wanted to make sure that I made a few of my best selling items in order to compare its quality. The picture of the finished letters is a comparison of a letter casted with Zdsticky and the other casted with another high quality resin.As you can see, there is very little noticeable difference.Things I noted:1. Part A is quite thick and dense which I have never experienced before. Once mixed with part B it does create WAY more bubbles than I am accustomed to working with. Note: When I tried it for the second time I made sure to pour mix B into A slowly and mix VERY slowly as well which helped with avoiding more bubbles.2. Like any other resin, placing your container in warm water for anywhere from 5-10 minutes will eliminate as many of those bubbles as possible. While this is true as well for this resin, once I poured I still had a few bubbles which were surprisingly more challenging to eliminate than my current brand even when using a heat gun and toothpick. I also noticed that by using this method of of heating my resin with Zdsticky I had about 10 less minutes of working time.3. The odor of this resin is VERY strong, so as always, be sure to wear protective equipment.4. Curing time for my pieces was about 24 hours.5. Bubbles are not noticeable when you use a pigment to mix into the resin.6. Using a resin polisher REALLY makes this resin shine so beautifully!!7. The clarity of the resin when not mixed with pigment is VERY clear (minus a few bubbles-which still does not take away from the overall beauty of any piece).Overall, I am VERY satisfied with this resin and I appreciate the opportunity to give my honest feedback. I will definitely continue to use it and think it deserves a 5 overall.
