Easy to use pump bottles, dries hard & clear, have made dozens of things out of what was in these bottles.

I was about to quit playing with resin after going through way too much money and ruined products because of other resin types. Then I tried this one and "I'm back in business, baby!" It does need a bit of work, but the results have been a resin that release the bubbles better than anything else I've tried, so to my fellow newish resin enthusiast... Here's how I've had best success: 1) Measure the needed amount of each into separate cups (I use reusable hard plastic ones with lids, so I have less trash waste) and place them in some warm (not hot) water for 3-6 minutes depending on the amount. 2) Mix the A+B resin in a new cup. I use an electric resin mixer and it does have to be mixed a bit longer than other ones - really look for those stringy part in there! 3) Place the cup back into the warm water for 3-5 minutes. 4) Pour slowly and then use a toothpick or craft stick on the sides of your product to make sure no bubbles got stuck there. And remember, the deeper the project the harder a time bubbles have releasing, so work in layers if you must. 5) Do your usual heat gun/lighter tricks, and voila, you'll *most likely* have a nice mostly bubble free result! One last thing... This is a lower viscosity resin and works great in molds, but I found that it really wants to fall over the sides when used as a top layer on coaster for example (even after a 15-20 minute work time), so you may want to use it as the bottom layer and then top coat it with a thicker working resin or wait long enough till it's thickening up a good bit itself.

I really love this resin, especially when teaching new people how to start their own hobbies. It's beginner friendly and gives a gorgeous shine, and also great for the price and for experts.

When I first started out creating resin art pieces, I went through several brands of resin - some would bubble more than others or smell really strong. This brand has been the most affordable, least fragrant, doesn't get bubbles as bad as other brands (make sure the room is warm enough - if it's cold, any resin will bubble a lot). I've mixed with glitter, sand, dyes, pigments, mica powder, sea shells, sand, etc. and had no issues. I have purchased a lot of resin from this brand and will continue to!

I got this after others in a resin group kept saying how great it was. Sadly this wasn't my experience. After stirring for about 10 minutes, it was still very cloudy, not clear. The amount of bubbles I was getting was so bad, and because of how long it took me to stir, I didn't have the time to put it in a degasser to get rid of them. I've worked with other resins, and I get that bubbles are common, but this seemed particularly bad. I often do clear products, so having this cloudy, bubbly mess was beyond disappointing. Update: I continued to try to use it and while it still has bubble issues, they are manageable with my degasser, not sure why the first time using it was so bad but as I got deeper into the containers it was better. I decided to purchase again when I ran out. It's not the best out there but so long as you have a degasser to handle the bubbles it does work great. I may have to give some of the other ones a try such as the deep pour and glossy.
