500g Clear UV Resin Hard Type New Formula One Minute Ultraviolet Solar Quick Curing Epoxy Resin Glue for Casting & Coating/Molds/Jewelry Pendants Earrings Bracelets Making/DIY Crafts, Bulky Pack

I've been working with UV resin for many years making jewelry and this resin is my go to for a top coat. It bonds well to other UV resins and the fact that it's low viscosity means it cures beautifully and bubble free (thicker resins hold bubbles in which pop during curing... messing up the surface). It's low viscosity makes it a slower cure than other UV resins, which is a good thing for a top coat as this means less warping & shrinking and less bubbles. I also use heat (a lighter or small torch) to release any trapped bubbles before putting it under the lamp to cure. This resin however doesn't like bezels (many UV resins don't because the UV rays wont reach the bottom of the bezel to cure the resin fully), so I use a faster curing resin that works better is bezels for the base and then top it off with a thin layer of this resin, it gives it a nice bubble free hard finish. I use a Melody Susie 36W UV nail dryer and it works like a champ (I actually use 3 of them for my jewelry business). The negative reviews on this product seem to be from people with little experience with UV resin and their most likely using the wrong lamps (and from the sounds of it they may not be following the directions that are stated on this listing). After seeing all the negative reviews about the amount you get, I weighed it and it actually weighed in over the 250g. This resin does smell strong, but I always use a respirator (even with non-toxic resin, as my health and safety are priority when making mass production jewelry). I searched LONG and hard to find a resin that doesn't leave bubbles when curing... this is the only one I have found that cures bubble free and bonds with other UV resins.

I use both 2-part epoxy and UV resin and have for about 6 years. I've tried nearly every common UV resin on the market and they all have the same basic problems. They yellow quickly, they shrink, they get very hot, they curl, and they are hard to cure without having a slight stickiness on the surface. I only use UV resin for a limited number of things because of the common issues. I saw this upgraded version and decided it was worth a try. As soon as it arrived yesterday I got out a silicone mold with various dome shapes and started making a "galaxy". The resin was cold when it was delivered (I'm in MT) so it was fairly viscous when I started using it but it was easy to deal with a few bubbles. The dome in the picture is about 3/4'' deep. I did it in 5 layers and cured in between. There was no yellowing and far less shrinking than with standard UV resin. When I finished with the piece and popped it out there was a very slight tackiness so I put the piece in the LED/UV lamp for 30 seconds and the tackiness was gone. I think the tackiness occurred because the mold I was using is rather thick and not totally transparent. I am very happy with this product and I'm looking forward to using it in a standard non LED lamp. Additionally, the price for this large container is great. I highly recommend this product over the other common UV resin brands.

I like using this UV resin. It cures solid and works great for doing a quick tumbler. My only complaint is the strong pine scent. It does not smell pleasant at all and I feel like the odor lingers. I will continue to use it because it does spread nice and smooth and is easy to work with. I think it is a good buy and would buy it again.

This product is excellent & the only brand of UV resin I purchase anymore. It cures quickly with no sticky residue, no yellowing, & minimal shrinkage. The only thing I can think of that might be a downside to some people, depending on how you want to use it, is that it's consistency is very thin & runny compared most other brands of UV resin I've tried before. Personally, I find that to be another positive aspect of this brand though because it leaves less bubbles to pop& it's easier to pop them in the thinner liquid. If it is needed to dome though, It would be a negative attribute. All in all, this resin is 5 starts across the board with a great price cheaper than other brands, easy to use for beginners and experts alike with a performance that outshines it's competition!!!

I'd give it 0 stars if I couldI've used a lot and I mean a lot of uv resin and hands down this was the worst Ive ever used.The bottles came half empty (like it was mentioned) could be the right weight, could not be. I don't have a scale.I'd be okay if it was a little less if it actually worked.The entire box from shipping smelled stringer than any other resin I've used.Its thin and runny.It doesn't cure.I tried for about five minutes under different lights and there was still a layer of uncured resinI didn't add any coloring or anything to try it out. Just a thin layer of the resin by itself in a silicone moldNow I'm left with a slimy mess, and two bottles because I believed other reviews.Don't be like me.

Not really sure why everyone's whining about this UV resin. Despite the awful smell (hence why you must always wear a mask, regardless whether they claim it's toxic or nah), the resin cures super hard and clear. Furthermore, people claiming that it's not curing properly: Have ya'll tried a nail UV lamp? I'm using a really cheap one off Amazon and it's been curing my keycap projects amazingly.What's more? I even use a LOT of alcohol ink in this UV resin, despite alcohol ink not being compatible for UV resin. I made it cure solid under the UV lamp and it looks AMAZING. Sure, it took about 15 minutes, but that's because alcohol ink & UV resin in general aren't really that compatible. If I can make it work under these conditions, so can everyone else.This is the only brand I'll buy because the price is such a steal and it does its job amazingly, especially for my keycap projects <3
