Epoxy Resin for Crystal Clear Casting & Coating – 16 oz Kit – Bubble Free, Non-Yellowing, Two Part, Self-Leveling Art Resin – for Tumblers, Jewelry, Molds, Table Top, & Crafts – USA Small Business

So back when I was working with resin all the time (2020- 2021) this was my favorite brand! I tried quite a few different ones but this brand gave me the best results. I never had bubbles in my finished product. These are mixed by volume not by weight.I recently got back into resin and decided that before I go buy new bottles I'm going to experiment with my bottles I still had which I bought and used in November of 2021.The results were shocking- ALL my keychains and pendants were rock hard after they fully cured! Not only that but there are virtually no bubbles. I used this on two different batches with the same result. Granted, the hardener is yellow so I'm only using with mica.

This stuff has been great so far, no yellowing, and yes, there are bubbles but that's because it's cold where I am, other than that, when it fully cures it's nice and solid, but I wait an extra day for it to cure, I think the packaging says it cures in 2-3 days? I just wait 4 days because when following the package cure time I could still dent the resin with my nails, but yeah, so far it's been amazing for me!

I purchased this 32 Oz Epoxy Resin Kit to finish a tealight fireplace wooden log candle holder, and it worked out great! I had to wait until the weather was nice outside in order to apply the resin to my finished piece (see image) outdoors. If I had it to do over again, I would have placed a sheet of thick plastic over my working surface, but the old table I was working on needed to be put out of its misery anyway. I started by mixing approximately half of each bottle into a paint tray and mixing them together thoroughly with a paint brush. I then poured the mixture evenly over the entirety of the wooden work piece, using the paint brush to gently apply the resin into the cracks and crevices. I allowed it to set/cure for approximately 30 mins or so, and then repeated the same process by mixing the remainder of the resin.It took the entire 32 Oz kit to coat my project, which consisted of 3 wooden logs mounted together with some holes for tealights drilled in. The dimensions of the logs were approximately 5 inches in diameter and 2 feet in length, and I was able to get a very uniform and thick coating over the entire project. I used a lint free shop rag to wipe the majority of the resin out of the tealight holes during the application process so that they didn't get filled in. Clean up was easy enough. I just let everything cure and disposed of it the following day. This was a great way to take something directly out of our back yard and make it a showpiece for our living room!I allowed the resin to set/cure on the piece overnight outdoors. The scent of the resin is quite potent, so I wouldn't imagine you'd want to work with it indoors without very good ventilation. I brought the piece indoors the next day, and allowed it to set for several days in the garage before gifting it to my wife for Christmas (which she loved). We have burned several sets of tealights in this already and the resin has held up well to the heat from the candles, and with no discoloration. The resin is very clear and hard to the touch, and really accents the piece. I'm hoping it will hold up for years to come!I highly recommend this product!

I love this resin! I use it for smaller casted objects (like charms and jewelry). It's very forgiving in terms of ratio, and is fairly easy to get bubbles out of, just mix slowly and carefully use a lighter or heat gun to help lift bubbles after pouring. I have a small vacuum chamber, and it gets rid of every single bubble like a charm. The cure time doesn't bother me, but it's definitely worth considering for projects you might be trying to finish sooner. It responds well to a variety of materials mixed into the liquid resin, too. I've used glitters, mica powder, specialized pigments from Solar Color Dust, liquid resin dyes, alcohol ink, and even small amounts of acrylic paint successfully. It is a bit sensitive to temperature though. In my experience, a temperature of 72-78 degrees in the area from the time they're poured until when they've cured does the trick. Whenever it's been exposed to much colder temperatures, especially in the first 24 hours or so of curing, I never got a full cure, and the pieces would end up not sticky but pretty malleable and not hard at all.

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!
