I'm a first time resin crafter and when I decided to jump into the hobby, I found this stuff. I am so glad I did! Making small things was easy, but as I made bigger things, I made quite a few rookie mistakes. Some things I would recommend if you are getting into this and buying it for the first time; 1. use a scale (kitchen scale works fine) to measure your resin. Using cups left some of the items still bendy. Once I started using a scale, everything has been smooth sailing since. 2. Use a little more hardener than the resin. even an ounce can make a difference. 3. Mix slow, Pour slow. Let it sit if you have a lot of bubbles for a minute or two. 4. If your item is a box with a lid, pour a little, run a toothpick through the edges. Make sure no bubbles are there, then continue to pour more. 5. Use 1 cup for resin, 1 cup for hardener to measure and then mix them into a bigger cup. Once it's done mixing (3-5 minutes depending on how much you have), then you can add your colorants, mix those in well. Again, let it sit a minute or two afterwards. 6. Make sure you are using a LEVEL surface for your molds. 7. Allow it proper time to dry. Not everything will be dry in a few hours. Some will take up to 2 days to fully harden, depending on how thick the item is. Testing it for tackyness helps before demolding. 8. Make sure it's in a non humid room. The more moisture you have in the room you're doing it, the more it will REMAIN tacky. 9. Make sure the room is at least 72F and keep it away from air conditioners and heaters. Varying temperatures can cause a lot of headaches when your making your items. 10. Make sure you are taking all precautions. If the smell bothers you, an N95 mask is your friend. Wear gloves (not latex!!), wear an apron to keep your clothing SAFE from spills, do not use in a carpeted room and always keep your area CLEAN, so no dust or other particles (dog hair/cat hair) gets in it. I highly recommend getting a silicone mat. 11. Baby wipes. They are miracle cleaners when it comes to wiping things down. 12. Keep your molds in air tight bags, keep your resin in a dark and dry space. Make sure it's closed tightly as well, so it doesn't dry up. 13. When making a DEEP resin item, pour in LAYERS. Wait 20 minutes or so before the next layer and use a heat gun to pop bubbles between layers. This is especially important if you don't want colors to MIX. 14. Heat gun. They're inexpensive and work MAGIC when it comes to popping bubbles on the surface. Finally, have fun!! Resin crafting can be a LOT of fun. I've made so many items for friends and family and they LOVE it and I have so many projects I want to do yet! So don't be afraid to experiment! While this is an expensive hobby to get into, once you're in the hang of it, it's a true blast. I hope this helps someone! <3

I’ve used a lot of different brand resin and this one by far is one of the top, especially mixing and eliminating bubbles. I used a power drill with a mixer and created not One bubble! Awesome Resin!! definitely recommended for professional or newbies. Don’t believe me. Try it yourself.

Great product. Didn’t have any issues with it. It worked like the description says

I've been dabbling in resin for a bit. My husband however decided he wanted to do a river coffee table. I was hesitant of ordering expensive resin due to being his first attempt and the amount of resin needed. I think this may be my new go to for any project. He had very few bubbles and crystal clear, it also harden up nicely, and no odor (my previous used resin if poured anywhere in the house left and unpleasant smell for weeks, pushing me to only pour outside, even then after bringing the project in I would get whiffs of it). I've tried several different brands and this one is awesome!
