The dispensers rarely release the Epoxy and hardener in equal amounts. leaves a sticky residue that must be cleaned off after use, no big deal. It will never dry clear, but in an Amber (yellow) translucent color. Okay for gluing most items or encasing to protect them, small art projects. Anything else, not so much. Difficult to polish back after any sanding if for art. I've used it to place polished stones, gems, insects, etc. on the top of walking canes and sticks. I will say it doesn't wear off easily or remain sticky like acrylics that are clear when dry. Still a better product for my uses.
