Epoxy Resin 2 Gallon - Crystal Clear Epoxy Resin Kit - Self-Leveling, High-Glossy, No Yellowing, No Bubbles Casting Resin Perfect for Crafts, Table Tops, DIY 1:1 Ratio

I have been using this epoxy resin and it is great. Reliable, clear, easy to use, and its the best resin I've used so far. Well worth the money. There's A learning curve to using resin. Here's my method and tips: if you have long hair, tie it back. Its inevitable you'll get resin in your hair if you leave it loose. Wear old clothes and shoes. You'll get resin on them. Buy some denatued pure alcohol, ethanol, to clean up with. It works way better than isopropyl alcohol. Use a level to check that your work surface is level in all directions. Cover it with waxed paper. Overlap the edges of the waxed paper by at least an inch. To measure and mix this resin easily, use the pumps to do that. Use a big clear plastic cup. I use two wooden coffee stirrers to.mix with. Alternate 1 pump of A, and 1 pump of B into your cup until you have the needed amount. That way its already partly mixed in your cup. Now, stir it thoroughly. At first it will be cloudy and have streaks. Once its totally mixed it will be clear with no streaks. Be sure to scrape the sides of your cup while stirring. Once its clear, its ready to.pour into your silicone mould. Don't over fill your mould. Let your filled mould sit undisturbed for 48 hours. If there are any rough edges or you got your mould a bit too full, use a utility knob be to trim.off excess. If your make my charcuterie boards, let them cure longer, until it's 72 hours from pouring, on a flat surface. I'm currently doing charcuterie boards with dried flowers and sea shells. I do one pour to fill the moulds half full and embed the inclusions in it. Dried flowers and greenery tend to float so be sure to press them down into the resin. I do that with my fingertip and then clean my hands with thevdenatured alcohol. With dried flowers, I make sure they are completely coated with resin on the back side, the upper side while working on them. About 6 to 8 hours later, I use waterproof India inks to create a colored background on the resin. I let the ink dry, then do the second pour to fill the mould. If have ordered colored mica powders, and translucent resin dyes to begin doing more types of effects and backgrounds. I've been using this resin to.make coasters and bookmarks, too. I sell my stuff in my stall at a big farmers market, with my other wares. I highly recommend this brand of resin because it never fails or has problems. I do not have any problems with bubbles, and getting two gallons at a time is efficient and cost effective. I get professional results every time. I bought and am currently using the first two gallons I purchased and then added it to my subscribe and save monthly orders for further cost reduction. I tried UV resin and it was awful. I'm sticking with this bc and of regular epoxy resin into the future. It does not release any fumes, either.

Great epoxy resin, at any price. It really helps that this brand is much lower cost! No bubbles, clear and awesome!

I've been doing epoxy resin, 7 years. I love this epoxy. It gives off a very shiny finish, and it is a good high quality. 121 ratio, easy to mix, easy to use.You get crystal clear results. It does have low odor cleaning up afterwards.I use baby wipes now instead of alcohol as far as being heat.Resistant, I believe that it's heat resistant up to like three hundred and twenty five degrees.The consistency is perfect. It's not my normal brand but it's my go to when my brand is out of stock.

Consistent, convenient and great quality. I’ve used this resin for three years and am always happy with my pours. I rarely remember to spray my molds with alcohol for bubbles and you’d never know it! I let it sit for a few minutes after mixing and bubbles are virtually gone. The pumps make it super easy to dispense equally and without much fuss. Items I made with my first two bottles (3+ years ago) are still crystal clear with virtually no fading whatsoever. Definitely recommend this forgiving, consistently good resin.

I bought this one because I wanted to find the middle between an affordable one and a good quality one. I’ve mainly used it for small projects like coasters, charms and trinkets. For the most part it always cures well, almost no bubbles or very few bubbles. But I have had problems with it not fully curing. I attempted a bigger project covering a side table about 2 feet wide and 2 feet long and was very careful with measurements and instructions. However it never fully cured.

I find myself going through tons of resin for my projects lately and took a chance on this stuff because it was super cheap. I didn't have very high expectations but I was pleasantly surprised with the results. This was a great value for 2 gallons of 1:1 resin however there are a few things you should know before working with this resin. The most obvious pro is how much you get for the price. I normally spend about the same money for only 1 gallon of total boat and that's when it's on sale. There isn't a striking difference in the amount of bubbles I see when compared to more expensive resins, even without using a pressure pot. Cures hard and fast. I do have a test chunk of resin that I keep out in the full sun (so far for about 2 months) and have seen no evidence of yellowing so far. I will definitely update if/when I see evidence of discoloration- which will be valuable information for anyone looking to use this in a more professional setting. Both parts had a slightly blue-ish hue inside of the bottle, but appears clear when mixed and cured. The beef I have with this product is the listed working/curing time. In the instructions, it's says 45-50 minutes. Because I was working with this resin in February, I placed it in a warm bath before mixing and kept it warm while working with it. I know heating the resin speeds up the curing process, but for this product it's significant. My resin had fully cured in my mixing container in about 25-30 minutes, thus creating the great waste of '26 (see below). I repeated the project without heat (ambient temp around 65 degrees F) and the project still cured at 35-40 minutes and with slightly more bubbles. So I don't know in what world (or elevation?) this resin would get 50 minutes working time. Pros: large quantity, great price, same bubbles as other expensive brands, doesn't readily yellow. Cons: listed working time not entirely accurate, making it tricky to work with- please see "the great waste of '26" below. She cured quite clear considering I was practically mid-stir, which is why I think it's a decent product. And yes, I do concede that heating the resin does change curing time, however I heat all resin I work with in the winter and those don't seem to have such a *significant* difference in the listed curing time. This product has a bit of a learning curve, but at least you can afford to make a few mistakes. Unless you're a total resin snob, you won't be disappointed with this stuff. I'll be buying again soon.

I rehab discarded furniture and often use epoxy when doing so. I buy cheap, sometimes, and this was one of those occasions. I wasn't disappointed. The price is great and the product matches. I can't speak on drying time because I always let epoxy cure overnight at the very least. Workability varies greatly, depending on the type and amount of collecting agent used. Adhesive quality is irrelevant. They all stick to what they should, and don't stick to materials that are incompatible with. No epoxy likes smooth surfaces, so rough it up a little. Easy of use is irrelevant. Two-part epoxy is as easy to use as two-part anything. No matter the brand, when things go bad, they go very bad, very fast.

I love this Resin! This is my first time trying this one because I needed something next day however I will be purchasing this from now on. It literally has a little to no odor at all and it is the best when it comes to bubbles and clarity! I went through both gallons in 3 days and I have not had one problem with bubbles during mixing or curing. Definitely worth buying!
