Art 'N Glow Clear Casting And Coating Epoxy Resin - 16 Ounce Kit

This was easy to use. 1:1 mix ratio. Was able to get all the bubbles out. Felt like the final hardness was achieved after about 3 days. I used this to repair a shattered LED work light lens. The lens went missing, leaving the led & electronics open to the weather. I filled the front of the light with this resin, and now have a good work light again. Replacing the light would have been far more expensive than this resin.

Awesome I’ve just made some unique items it’s really a great product

I have tried many brands of resin; finally found a resin I will continue to purchase for my craft work.This resin is truly non toxic, no stinky odor, very forgiving and easy to work with.The first time I used this resin, I didn't warm up the 2 bottles of resin; thus trying to pour/use a craft stick to put the resin where I wanted, was like working with thick, sticky honey.I read somewhere that the resin could be warmed by putting both bottles in warm water. Next time, I tried this, and the resin had a thinner, much more workable consistency. Put the mixed resin in 1 oz plastic squeeze bottles to fill earring backs and pendant trays; worked like a charm. Then used a heat gun over all jewelry pieces to remove bubbles. Resin was dry and clear next day, then I let the pieces cure for 2 more days. Result: Glossy clear as glass. There is a reasonable amount of time, after 2 parts of resin are mixed, to do your pours. I find that a little resin goes a long way, therefore making this resin very affordable for my projects. Just ordered the 32 oz size. Additional factor I like about the art n glow resin is you mix 2 equal parts together; not 1 part of a, and 2 parts of b, etc. I estimate ahead of time how much total resin I need for my jewelry, then pour for example 2 Tablespoons measured water into a small plastic cup, mark a line with sharpie on outside, then pour another 2 Tablespoons of water into cup, mark a line on cup with sharpie.(always dry the cup out before put resin in.) This way, it makes it easy and convenient to mix up the amount of resin I need without waste, and I can get exact equal amounts of both parts.Thank you to both Art n Glow and amazon for bringing us the wonderful product!

As easy to use as it can be. Smooth results with very little bubbles. 98% of the bubbles come out very quickly after a couple of minutes under a hair dryer. Sands easily for next coats.

I've never done anything with resin before, but now seemed like a good enough time to try it out. I went ahead and gave it a go and this kit was relatively straightforward. I bought some pretty standard silicon molds from elsewhere on Amazon, just flat coasters and ornaments and tried out a few different applications and methods. This is about as many as I could make with the resin contained in this batch. (minus the pink and white one on the far left/top -- that is made with white Elmers glue, which is an inefficient method). All in all, I made 13 total coasters/ornaments, which is a decent amount. The quality of the resin seems fine, but you really do need to mix them for a decent amount of time to make sure that they properly set. I used wooden chopsticks and condiment cups from jello shots, which seemed to do the trick-- though I know some of the silicon mold kits come with mixing tools.For me, the two biggest takeaways were that a heat gun was a weirdly necessary tool. I already have one for heat shrinking electronics, but it helps to get rid of excess air bubbles and to get a nicer glossier finish and it's kind of a must? My quality on my casts got substantially better when I used it. The other is that this stuff is just about the most toxic substance I've worked with outside of spray insulation; when it says that you should wear gloves and a mask, it's really not kidding around. The fumes on this thing are pretty intense. Luckily one of the only perks of 2020 is that I have masks-a-plenty and a bunch of nitrile gloves, but without that, this hobby would have been super toxic. Just something to keep in mind.The first few prints are definitely the worst! I think it's still a good beginner hobby, something to learn on, and there's a lot of fun different things to play with and put in it. This kit was a decent entryway into it.
