This is my first purchase of resin and the project it was intended for so I was kinda scared because it’s a sentimental piece. All the online vids and tutorials make it look so easy to create masterpieces. 😂 my project wasn’t anywhere near a deep pour. Just filled natural splits and cracks in a fairly thick block of wood that will be a bench seat. I did paint a thin coat of acrylic paint inside the cracks for some color and depth, gave it more than enough time to properly dry, then gave it a thin coat of resin, letting it harden, then poured the remaining over 2 different sessions. As cautiously as possible only to come back a few days later to check on it and discovered multiple cracks in the cured resin. I was heartbroken but I decided to grind out the cracks and pour fresh over the booboos. It turned out beautifully. This problem may very well have been something I did or it may be this brand of resin. Idk. I am ordering it again for the other parts of the bench because I loved the kit and it’s contents. The cups, stir sticks, etc were all extremely convenient. The gloves were useless to someone with tiny hands tho. Manufacturer should really consider offering different sizes because most peoples hands aren’t anywhere near that big.

Cures Clear and Hard. I always mix by weight on an accurate scale after determining correct ratio by weight. Works great every time!

Super easy to use and crystal clear finish.They also give good handling & cleaning instructions....unfortunately, I don't know how to easily clean the little measuring bowls....

Not one to write reviews, but……comes with two sets of measuring/mixing cups and five wide “popsicle” sticks. Cost me the same as everywhere else, but they don’t have any extras. Well worth it

If Easter was a resin and we had more than one of them, we would have Polyester [drums: ba dum dum, crash]Now that I have your attention:This product is very high quailty: from the packaging, to the resin, to the instructions.It came with stirring sticks, rubber gloves, and two sets of measuring cups, you should label them A and B appropriately. I mixed small batches 1:1 by weight (the instructions say 1:1 by volume), but by weight (which is easier if you have an an accurate electronic scale that can read down to 10ths of a gram) worked very well. I used this to make a back shell for an electronic connector that I modified. I added 2% by weight of Testors Flat Black Enamal Paint (from any Hobby Store); just a couple of drops is all it took to make it totally opaque to hide the wires. We call this 'potting' in electronics. The project came out perfectly. I used the 1/4 inch layer every 4 hours method as my back shell was 3/4 high X 1 inch wide X 1 inch long.The instructions say not to add more than 5% non-aqueous (no water) pigment, I used only 2% of oil based enamel and got great results.5 stars all around.
