Review on 🎨 Crystal Clear Epoxy Resin Art Kit - Perfect for Coating, Casting, Resin Art, and More! by Morgan Gilmore

Revainrating 1 out of 5

DO NOT follow the instructions in the brochure. NEW INSTRUCTIONS BOOKLET NEEDED

I am a professional artist with galleries in the US and museum exhibits and have been casting resin under a different brand for the past two years. I switched to this type of resin to save some money. I used this product to coat fully dried oil paintings. I have found that if I mix resin/hardener 50:50 most paintings covered with this resin will not harden AFTER WEEKS of waiting. On some of these paintings, the resin coating looks smooth but becomes sticky to the touch. And on some others the resin will shrink over time (see pics: white acrylic paint and Floetrol under the resin and NO SILICONE or OIL). Eventually, this resin will harden normally in a very small percentage of cases, but it will still feel a little soft to the touch after a few weeks. Also, it is very transparent but thin. If you ask the company for help, they will tell you to heat the resin first before mixing, mix in more resin as hardener, stir the mixture for more than 3 minutes, and possibly dust your substrate with baby powder before potting. None of this matched the instructions I read in the brochure. and my work was destroyed. so sad.

Pros
  • GREAT for all casting, plating and fine art projects including resin art, resin jewelry, fine art plating/acrylic painting, geodesic paintings, moulds, coasters, countertops, bar tops, countertops, Live Edge River tables, glasses, wood blocks , cutting boards and more! It has fantastic color stability to keep your artwork vibrant.
Cons
  • Slightly wrinkled
