UV Resin -Upgraded Crystal Clear Hard UV Curing Epoxy Resin Starter Supplies for Craft Jewelry Making 100g with Gloves

I make small batches of one-of-a-kind jewelry pieces and accessories. This resin is perfect for that. It cures very well under UV light.This is a great resin for beginners! Very easy to use, it is very clear, and has very little air bubbles.Here are some tips and tricks for those of you just getting started with UV resin and to make sure you get the best results:Make sure you are using a transparent mold and cure from both sides. I do not recommend using any opaque molds. (Opaque molds are typically the pink or blue ones you see at here on Amazon, but they can come in other colors too.) There are a ton of transparent molds here on Amazon, just search for “UV Resin Mold” specifically. A majority of the molds I use have come from here. They will be clear to milky white, but clear enough for light to go through one side to the other. If you don’t use transparent molds, you will not be able to cure from both sides, and will have issues with your pieces fully curing.I also spray my molds with 91% rubbing alcohol, which helps to cut down on micro bubbles significantly. I also lightly mist 91% rubbing alcohol over the top once I have cast my molds to further rid my casts of any additional micro-bubbles, and then use a heat gun over the top for any stubborn bubbles, if there are any. (Note: Do not use a lighter over the top for bubbles if you spray them with alcohol!) Also, make sure you don’t spray too much alcohol, or it may take longer to cure under the UV light.My thickest pieces are typically less than a quarter inch thick, so curing time can vary from 2 to 5 minutes, depending on the density of mix-ins along with the thickness of the mold, and how many times I cure both front & back. Once I de-mold my pieces, I cure them on both sides under the UV light one more time to make sure they have cured all the way through.Speaking of mix-ins, make sure you are not using opaque dyes, mica powders, or too much opaque glitter. If light can’t get through the piece, it will not cure. I typically use transparent dyes along with glitter that is transparent polyester (no metal). It’s OK to throw a few little pieces that are not transparent into the mix, the key is making sure the mix isn’t entirely made up of opaque items or opaque dyes, otherwise, your items will not cure in the middle and turn out soft or “bendy”.I prefer UV resin over traditional resin, because I have such a small work area, and work with small items and small batches. UV resin makes it a lot easier for me to get through everything in one shot, rather than having to find a place for everything to sit while I wait 24 to 48 hours for everything to cure before I can de-mold. (Instant gratification!!)No resin is ever fume free, but the fumes from this resin is very light compared to others I have used. It smells very similar to a nail salon that does gel nails & acrylics. I highly recommend using in a well-ventilated area, using a respirator, and wearing gloves. Due to some of my pieces being extra small and needing precision, admittedly, I sometimes go without gloves, but I work right next to a sink and I am constantly washing my hands as soon as anything gets on them.I would not recommend UV resin for doing thicker pieces such as pyramids or larger clear orbs, pieces such as trays or boxes, or items with deeper molds. 2-part resin would work best for these. (And would be more cost-effective.)For jewelry pieces, key rings, hair clips, and other small items in smaller quantities, it is an excellent resin! I have tried many other resin brands, and this resin gets top marks for curing, clarity, and price!I hope this review helps some you just getting started with UV resin. Happy creating!

Awesome product! Very easy to use. Lots of work time. Will not harden until you cure it with UV lamp or sunlight. I work with it in a limited sunlight room. I have used it to 1) pour into molds for jewelry. (You have to cure it on 1 side then flip the mold and cure it on the other. Do NOT recommend for making Jewely with a solid back like a metal tray etc. since you cannot cure the back side with UV so it will not cure. However, works great to seal the top of the piece of jewelry, to dome it, or add top embellishments. You CAN use it in trays, etc. IF you pour and cure it in LAYERS!! Then it works GREAT!) 2) Used it to seal both vertical and horizontal planes of dioramas. (Is a bit this so I use a paintbrush in thin layers. Works great!) Super clear with very few bubbles, VERY LOW ODOR(I have asthma, and this causes me no issues), suer fast shipping and great price|! Overall, an awesome product at a great value!

I’ve been using this to make small resin pieces like keychains and bookmarks and love how easily this uv resin works and sets up. It’s perfectly clear as well.

Perfect for that top coat on your resin projects. Very durable and dries fast.

If cured properly, this UV resin makes some fantastic finished products. It’s super clear and hard, and no tiny air bubbles popping up. However there can be one large bubble if you stick it under a UV light and let it go for a full 60-90 seconds without taking it out to cool down for a few minutes. I’ve been letting it go 10-15 seconds and pulling it out gently to cool down before putting it back under. Done this way, there will rarely be a large bubble in the middle of your project. This is a lower viscosity resin so glitters and other heavier inclusions won’t stay put and will sink to the bottom of the mold. Works nicely with dried flowers though and mixing in micas/pigments.

Being that this is the first time using UV resin or any resin for that matter I found this to be easy to use and had no problem. I had to get this project finished for a last minute order so I went with UV resin. I had no issues with bubbles. I used the UV light for 60 seconds per layer. No tackiness, there is a little bit of smell though I had no problems with breathing and I have COPD. As a protective messure I did use a heavy duty mask.I do recomend this product to beginners to expert for all the reasons I mentioned above. I will order this again but in the larger size for smaller projects such as jewelry, coasters and small framed art as seen in the photo.

This is my first time using resin of any kind. I used my led lamp that I use for my gel nails. It cured super easy! The pendants only take about 30 seconds to cure.I experimented with a tiny skull mold to see if it would work. I did several small layers of resin. I cured each layer for about 60 seconds.This resin is very runny, which is a good thing because then most of the bubbles come out easily.I would recommend this resin to anyone curious about this craft because it was so easy to use.I will definitely be buying more!

It cures very fast under uv for what I'm using it for. It's very hard, has no smell at all, and crystal clear with only a couple bubbles (fixed that with a heat gun) awesome product for my business. I will definitely be buying this again in the future!

Works great with my 7 year Olds Mini verse

Good value and was easy to use. I believe it took a bit longer than 24 hours to cure but worth the wait!

Love how it has the nozzle end for easier applications!! This bottle turned me from epoxy resin to UV resin! Even for my big projects! Takes longer but I can be more technical and tedious with my work!

Parfait pour la création d'objets. Pour exemple la réalisation d'un pin's géant : coque imprimée en 3D, couleurs peintes à la main, et couche protectrice en résine UV pour durcir et protéger. La résine durcit en quelques secondes seulement grâce à une lampe UV pour vernis à ongles. La bouteille est munie d'un bec applicateur très fin qui permet une bonne précision.Nickel !
