ArtResin Epoxy Resin – High-Gloss Clear Coat for Artwork - 8 oz (4 oz Resin + 4 oz Hardener) (236 ml)

This is the first time I've used Art Resin. In the past I've used Ice Resin and a brand that I picked up at Michaels. Both of those seemed to intuitively know how to spread out and dome effectively. In working with Art Resin, I found it needed to be coaxed to move to the sides and corners. That in itself is good because it does give you more time to work with the product without it racing ahead of you. Within 24 hours I had a nice hard coat, (although I always wait 72 hours for a full cure). I made a horrible gooey mess of one of the projects and I tried to clean it up...which of course made it much worse. In the future, I'll wait until after it cures to try to fix because Art Resin cleans up nicely and is easy to fix any mistakes. I used this product for a small wood project (about 3" x 9") and some bezel jewelry. I'll order again.

I like the nearly odorless smell.

If you need to be confident that you epoxy job is food-safe, this is the product for you. If you need a ton of it, I would imagine it would be pricey, but for small jobs it's fantastic.

The resin was pretty easy to use for beginners, however I am using it for keychains and deeper things, so I’m not a pro at not having bubbles yet. I also can’t seem to get glitter to not float to the bottom of my pieces, but that’s a me problem, not the product. It’s fairly easy to use and my favorite part is that it’s nontoxic. I still wear protective gear and have a well ventilated area to be safe though. The smell is a little strong, but I’m just sensitive to smells. It’s definitely not a good value for your money though. The bottles are extremely small for how expensive they are. I’ve used the resin a few times to make some keychains and I’m almost empty already. I wish there was more instructions on the best way to get 1v1 pouring though for the mixture. Overall, I really like the resin. It’s fun to play around with, but it is bubbly even with tricks like that warming it up in a hot cup, letting it sit, stirring 3+ minutes slowly, and using a lighter. Still couldn’t pop all the bubbles in the bottom and middle of the keychains. I will be purchasing again unless I can find a cheaper non toxic resin made for thicker projects.

I’ve had a reaction every time I’ve used this. Has anyone else had any reactions? I’m afraid to continue to use this. Any advise?

Works great and comes out clear. Thanks

I’ve tried resin in the past, and because of the humidity in Florida it never worked well. But this resin works perfectly even in the middle of summer!
