I only THOUGHT this was a fantastic resin. *** Please read edited comment***
This was the first epoxy resin I ever bought and I was thoroughly impressed with how easy it was to use. But then I had no bench mark of other resins. I was NOT a fan of the poorly made lids which never screwed on tightly again after the first use - I had to line the tops with plastic wrap and then screw on lid to get a tight fit. I didn't have many air bubbles (plus), easy to mix (plus), long working time (plus), and great finish (plus).
I did however, continue to have issues with craters and the resin would not seem to "waterfall" over the edges evenly. I thought it was just my inexperience. Or not cleaning the project properly first. And chalked it all up to user error.
But on my second purchase I decided to try a competitor brand for a comparison. And let's just say my issues were NOT user error. I've got perfectly waterfall edges and zero craters or blank spots.
I suggest that this resin would work quite well for projects that have borders or molds. I don't think I would have ANY complaints using it that way. But if you are working with open projects like tiles or canvases ... pick another one.
Edited ... Wow. I do have to add that the Dr. Crafty Resin company is truly customer service oriented! After being contacted about my review that quite generously offered compensation for my less than 100% satisfied review. I'm very impressed! I still recommend this epoxy resin for closed mold types of projects and since I'm considering trying my hand at some resin coasters, this will probably be my preferred brand. Thank you for being a great company!
