Straightforward for Beginners
Just tried it for the first time for a small wood sculpture, it was easy to use and worked great besides some leakage and staining

The odor of this product is horrible
I used it with the door to the outside open and it made me sick. Would HAVE to wear a respirator. Only mixed 30cc!!

Very clear once dry
Apprehensive at first because it was a little different than what I purchased from Walmart. Follow the instructions! You his brand dries without the air bubbles that the other did airbags great!

Not good for clear pieces
I used this resin to make coasters. I previously used Crystal Clear Art Resin and it was amazing. However I ran short and needed 4 more coasters. I didn’t have time to wait for delivery on the CC resin so I went to Michaels and bought this resin.
It wasn’t until after I got home that I read the reviews and some of them had me extremely worried for what the outcome would be. I was fretting all night about it due to the reviews. However my experience was not so bad.
The biggest issue for me is the yellow tint of the resin. I didn’t read about this issue in the reviews, but when I took the bottles out of the package I was immediately worried. The resin comes in a very yellow tint out of the package. The Previous resin I used was clear in the bottles and came out like glass. So I was worried. While it did come out with a yellow tint, it was not as bad as I anticipated. But for that reason I will never purchase this resin again. However I will say that my coasters were mostly clear. If you are using color powder or ink, it wouldn’t matter.
I’m not sure what the issue is people are having with the mixing process. I had no issues and it cured in 24 hours enough to remove from the molds, and then at 48 hours was rock solid. I used silicone molds and I didn’t realize this resin says to use a type of liquid beforehand for removal. However, removing the coasters was no issue whatsoever even without it.
As far as mixing I put the bottle of resin (not the hardener) in hot water before hand. For 15 mins. Then dumped the water, refilled with hot water, and waited another 15 mins. I then dumped both bottles into a larger container and mixed it for 3 mins making sure to scrape the sides and bottom continuously. I then dumped that into two smaller plastic cups equally. I added glitter and gave a good stir.
I then added my pieces to the molds and poured the resin on top. Filling each as equally as possible. Waited 24hr. Removed the coasters from the mold, let them sit another 24 hours. They were good to go!
So, while I would not use this again because of the price for such a small amount, and the yellow tint, I didn’t find it difficult to use at all.

Perfect Product
I love this resin.
It works amazingly when mixed properly.
I think the people complaining about it mixed by weight & not by volume. I'm guilty of weighing it and it never setting.
Ive used it for all sorts of projects.
