Review on Jewelry Ultraviolet Sunlight Activated Transparent by Heather Shaw

Revainrating 3 out of 5

I will not buy again. for crafts

So I have used UV resin in the past and found this product still tacky after curing. First I used a 4 watt LED/UV lamp and my piece, even though cured, remained tacky. I bought a higher wattage lamp (36w UV) and my second part was still sticky. I tried putting a thin layer on top and it was *still* sticky. I painted the first piece with a coat of clear nail polish and it's good. The second part I need to polish and see how it works. It is now winter and there is no strong sun. I can try to keep my second piece on display, but I have little hope. I won't buy this again. I had better luck with the first UV resin I used. I tried this one because the shipping was faster. If a company has advice on how to overcome stickiness for other buyers, I'm sure they'll appreciate it. Still sticky but not that bad. Maybe it wouldn't be so sticky in direct sunlight. It's winter now so it's cloudy but I kept it on the windowsill for 12 hours. No fire or anything, but I doubt the smoke is good for you. I recommend wearing a mask.* I sanded the third part to get rid of the tack so that helped and then polished it to a high gloss. So this is one way to get rid of stickiness. I had no problems with this part, but when I filled the ball completely and placed it under a curing light, it was very hot. It's so hot I dropped a piece which shattered glass and was dissatisfied. Allow your pieces to cool before handling them. The glass stayed hot for more than a few minutes. So be careful. That's all for this review, I hope it helped someone!
