Epoxy Resin -20 OZ-4 Hours Demold, 8-10 Hours Fast Curing Epoxy Resin, Upgrade Formula, Epoxy Resin and Hardener Kit Crystal Clear for Art, Jewelry, Not Yellowing and Self Leveling Easy Mix 1:1 Resin

Ok so let's start off with the fact that these pictures don't do the pieces justice at all! I was so beyond amazed at the clear shine thru them, no bubbles at all (including microbubbles!!!) And that gloss is just amazing!!! So, firstly I read all the directions, with any new product I want to make sure I'm doing everything right! I mixed according to specifications (although I do tend to mix quickly and heavy handedly!) and virtually no bubbles after mixing even! The few microbubbles I did see rose to the top so quickly! One thing I was worried about was the work time, you'd think with a resin you can demold in 4hrs, you'd have about 10 minutes but totally not the case at all! My creativity takes me all over the place and my workspace isn't the most organized so between mixing and pouring, it took me about 20 minutes to get everything mixed in the resin that I wanted and absolutely no sign that the resin had heated up or was about to flash cure so I'm assuming I had more than the specified 30 minute work time when using this! After pouring I set a timer on my phone and put on a good show I could really get into (because I was so excited to see how the resin did, I knew if I wasn't seriously distracted I would be checking every 5 minutes lol) and the minute my timer went off I went to check my pieces!! Not only did they demold so easily, but there's no sign of them curing at too high of a temperature (you know when something flash cures, you get those waves in your piece. NOTHING IN THESE!!) I of course let them finish curing for the next 4hrs but I'm so impressed with this resin!! Definitely be recommending to friends and fellow crafters!! Absolutely amazing!!! 😍😍😍 (Some pics were with flash, some without. I wanted to get a variety of types of pours, small keychain pieces and slightly larger pours but didn't want to wait to do multiple layers for a deep pour. One of my molds was painted with mica powder before pouring which makes it slightly less shiny but that's the mica, as the other piece is so incredibly shiny!)

This resin works exactly as advertised. Cures extremely fast, and completely solid. Seems to be very strong. However, I don't think I will purchase it again. Not because I was disappointed by it, but because it worked the way it's supposed to. I very much prefer a thin resin that takes longer to cure. This was way too thick for me and it was difficult to remove the bubbles before it began to harden. I think this would b perfect for a project that you plan to paint. I don't think it's a good resin for projects that are intricate and detailed because it is easy to destroy your work when trying to remove bubbles. Make sure you have a heat gun and let the resin warm up before you start. Do all prep work before you start mixing.

I was worried seeing the reviews about not working and a lot of bubbles, but after using it I will never use another brand! I made a huge skull and a big pyramid in one day! I had no problems! It worked with alcohol ink and mica seamlessly! I did put it in hot water before mixing, when I began mixing there were some bubbles, but they disappeared after 4 minutes of mixing! I didn't spray them with alcohol, I only used a heat gun and long neck lighter and there were zero bubbles! The smell wasn't bad and I would highly recommend it, and will buy it again!

I ordered this resin because I use JDictions UV resin to make jewelry, resin ink, pens, and resin staplers. The price was very right and there was no awful odor to put up with. I followed the instructions very closely I measured & mixed the resin without any problems, but when I applied the resin to my Tumblers, I noticed several micro bubbles so I tried to get rid of them but as soon as I was able to remove some of the bubbles more quickly showing up. The fast set resin did cure in 4 hours like it was supposed to, however my Tumblers looked horrible they were completely covered with fish eyes I was so upset & frustrated but instead of completely stripping them & starting over I started sanding them which took me an hour and a half to get them ready for another coat. But instead of using another Brand of resin I decided to give the fast set another try I had convinced myself that maybe there was dust flying around in my crafting room or maybe the humidity or temperature was just a little off. I should have just tried it again on only 1 of the tumblers, but no crazy me tried it on all 3 again. Guess What happened????? The results were exactly the same as the 1st time, only this time when I realized it was going to happen again I tried to salvage 2 of them buy adding some glitter to them & now hopefully the 2 that I added the glitter to, I will be able to add a flood coat of a different brand of resin and just maybe I won’t have to strip them completely & Start all over. It is so aggravating to work so hard on something and have this happen. So the fast cure might be good for other projects, But NOT for TUMBLERS

This is a good resin for those whom may be in a rush to demold their creation. However because it is thicker resin it is more likely to trap bubbles unless you have a degasser or pressure pot. Also I would recommend extra mixing time and scraping the sides and bottom thoroughly.
