Got this for grandsons scenery for Warhammer, made a realistic lake, easy to use, looks great

It took me 2 years to get around to using this. When I got it out of the cupboard I found that about a quarter of the resin had "hardened" into a solid whitish plug at the bottom of the bottle. Thanks to very rapid customer support I managed to get it to redisolve by putting the bottle in very hot (like 80degC) water for a few tens of minutes plus some agitation by hand.My use-case is very small batches of resin to cast small load-bearing engineering components. The supplier is quite emphatic about the proportions *by mass* being critical, so I got a pack of pipettes and a small 200g digital scales (amazingly under a tenner).I then tried some test mixes using a range of slight variations around the 2:1 ratio (7 samples of 2g hardener with 3.5-4.5g resin), which I cast in a series of depressions cut into polystyrene. They all hardened in about 3 days on a windowsill (so a bit colder than I should have had them). Not a huge difference in final result between the mixes - with slightly more hardener they set slightly quicker but the internet says more hardener can make them finish tacky. Where they contacted the polystyrene they have remained a bit gooey, so while it doesn't dissolve through, it won't work satisfactorily as a mould material. Side note - resin by itself very slowly dissolved through (over days), hardener by itself did not.I then cast a larger batch in the cap of a big yoghurt pot (which is fairly close to the geometry I will be wanting) with an m3 screw embedded - this was 24g of mixture. This also took nearly 3 days to cure - a bit warmer / a bit quicker. It was still self-levelling when poked at around the 36 hour mark. When poked at about 48 hours it wouldnt pull out to a peak. Even way outside its shelf life it has hardened into a fairly stiff and robust part - the m3 screw won't pull out even with some small pliers. It took nearly 3 days before I finally extracted it. It stuck quite tight to the lid at the edges so i had to peel it away with pliers, though the flat "bottom" pulled away more easily. Since then it got a bit more rigid over the next couple of days. I can hit it hard on a worktop and doesn't break. It is also completely clear - in fact after pouring it I literally couldn't tell where the surface was. It has taken the detail of the lid with very close resolution.I will try some more tests adding MDF sawdust - partly to bulk it out but also because it should theoretically make it stronger (and my cnc manufactures a limitless supply of it).One thing of note, it pulled a meniscus of about 5mm up the plastic lid at the edges and also up the thread of the m3 nut.

2 to 1 ratio, which is different to other epoxy I have used, but I feel this one is a much clearer quality. It does take longer to dry/harden (this might be due to the cold weather at the moment). I found putting in the airing cupboard speeds up this process. Easy to clean the stick and plastic cup after use with warm water and washing up liquid. Will definitely buy again.

I am new to using resin, so I was a little apprehensive at 1st, but my Halloween decoration turned out great. I used the deep pour resin and although it takes a long time to cure, the results are great.

Good value for money and arrived one day early

Bought to fill in cracks in wood.Mixing is clearly needed to be done with extreme accuracy, which if you haven't got basically jewellers scales, is not so easy..Taken to using cap fills to get the 2:1 ratio.Used a couple of times, and with the right mix, works a treat, so no issue with the product itself.

I wanted larger amounts and got this last time and it is so good, it is easy to use, half hardner to resin and thats it mix well and your good to go, this is ideal for smaller deepness and cures in about 6 hours which is fantastic, it is clear, hardly any bubbles and plenty of working times .If your making deeper moulds I suggest doing in a few pours as it can flash cure but saying that the ones of mine that did that cured in 20 minutes and were totally fine but anything really really deep please do it in sections, the best i have used by far and super seller had issue with a delivery and a replacment was sent immediately , very happy with this company .

Very helpful seller and quick to respond to queries about best product for my application. Comes with easy instructions and I'm very pleased with the results so far as a complete resin novice ie my first time using resin. Used the low viscosity slow cure to fill deep open cracks in oak beams before I turn them into legs for a work bench I'm building to last. Also experimenting with stabilizing some rotted interesting wood before making a seat. So far so good, wood has absorbed loads of resin where a bit soft and filled areas where i cleaned out the worst decay leaving big open craters in the board. Resin seems to plane easily, if a little messy. Looks great where the crystal clear resin lets you peer inside the wood grain. Ive found good way for me is to mix the resin well and then leave to stand for 30mins before using so the bubbles disappear
