PLEASE READ HONEST REVIEW
Okay, so please take the time to read this ! Because the reviews under this made me so worried about getting it ! I have been using resin since the summer of 2020 (not very long). I started a small business and i use resin to make jewelry, keychains, smoking products, etc. (so it’s good for other projects besides table tops). When i first seen this i decided NOT to purchase because of the reviews. However i was paying $100 for resin because it’s the only one i could find with good reviews. I decided to take a chance on this one and i am SO HAPPY i did. Honestly these reviews are just absolutely wrong. I clean out my silicone cups before each use with alcohol wipes. And then put the cups in a pot that i had boiled water in. I had a couple orders to finish so i ended up needing three cups to use. (Work in smaller batches for best results !) i usually work with the 100ml cups and i only use 40 ml of resin. So i poured the resin up to the 40 line and then put it back into the pot of hot water. (This helps remove bubbles and make the resin easier to pour) then i took all THREE cups out and poured them into my already measured (equal ratios of each part is a must!) cups of the hardener. (Tip I’ve learned is to pour the resin into the hardener, not the other way around, for best results). Everyone complained that the working time was too short. However i poured all three cups at the same time and had plenty of time to mix in glitters, pour on item, and then separate into other cups and mix colors in them. And it didn’t NOT get tacky, hot, or hard in the process. It stayed at the SAME, regular consistency. (Also somewhere during me hearing the resin a little took away the purple tint to the resin - i was worried about the color when i first seen it) i set a total of four small items and one huge one using those three cups. So the work time is normal and perfect ! Also the smell is not bad AT ALL. Everyone complained that it was so strong and horrible. I didn’t have a mask on just to see the smell and i could barely smell it. My pieces came out solid, clear, and exactly how i wanted. Even better experience with this brand than the $100 brand i was using before this. Not only does this cut my business expenses down, but it helps me have more money to invest back into my small business. Also i see everyone talking about NEEDING to have a heat gun or torch, however i have not been able to get in just yet, so i was so worried i was gonna have so many bubbles. However there is literally NOT ONE BUBBLE. And all i did was the steps above (same steps i used for the $100 brand) and it came out perfect. Honestly it’s about measuring correctly, stirring correctly, and warming the resin. Having a torch or heat gun is great and definitely say you should get one if using resin, (i plan on getting one myself) but it’s not required how people make it seem. All in all this is a must have when using resin. Great price great product.
