Art 'N Glow Clear Casting and Coating Epoxy Resin - 16 Ounce Kit

Thank you so much very good product

Item is good but wrapping box was not mentioned to keep item upward, it was upside down, the liquid was leaking.

It doesn’t give the desired stiffness as the top part is still very fluid even after drying it for 48 hrs

I've never done anything with resin before, but now seemed like a good enough time to try it out. I went ahead and gave it a go and this kit was relatively straightforward. I bought some pretty standard silicon molds from elsewhere on Amazon, just flat coasters and ornaments and tried out a few different applications and methods. This is about as many as I could make with the resin contained in this batch. (minus the pink and white one on the far left/top -- that is made with white Elmers glue, which is an inefficient method). All in all, I made 13 total coasters/ornaments, which is a decent amount. The quality of the resin seems fine, but you really do need to mix them for a decent amount of time to make sure that they properly set. I used wooden chopsticks and condiment cups from jello shots, which seemed to do the trick-- though I know some of the silicon mold kits come with mixing tools.For me, the two biggest takeaways were that a heat gun was a weirdly necessary tool. I already have one for heat shrinking electronics, but it helps to get rid of excess air bubbles and to get a nicer glossier finish and it's kind of a must? My quality on my casts got substantially better when I used it. The other is that this stuff is just about the most toxic substance I've worked with outside of spray insulation; when it says that you should wear gloves and a mask, it's really not kidding around. The fumes on this thing are pretty intense. Luckily one of the only perks of 2020 is that I have masks-a-plenty and a bunch of nitrile gloves, but without that, this hobby would have been super toxic. Just something to keep in mind.The first few prints are definitely the worst! I think it's still a good beginner hobby, something to learn on, and there's a lot of fun different things to play with and put in it. This kit was a decent entryway into it.

Easy to use, hardens beautifully and dyes well. Very happy with this purchase. Plus it is food grade, non toxic.

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!
