LET'S RESIN Clear UV Resin

This is an old Let's Resin UV resin, I've tried both to see which one works best. First, it has more smell than the new recipe, the standard liquid plastic smell that many UV resins have, which some people may be sensitive to. stuck in tiny corners. However, the thicker consistency of the resin makes it easier to form a dome, and objects placed in the uncured resin will not move as easily. Beautiful swirls and patterns are easy to create when using mica or metal powder and cure quickly with UV light. This resin is transparent, as the name suggests, and because it's slightly curved, it enlarges objects in small settings like glass cabochons, . The curing time is the same as new UV resin if you use a nail salon UV lamp (which you should buy if you plan to work with UV resin regularly to get consistent results). It appears to be slightly less sensitive to fluorescent light than the new resin (all fluorescent materials emit some amount of UV) which extends your working time on projects, which can be useful if you're working on a very detailed project. Avoid using alcohol or oil based inks as with most UV resins as even a small amount can affect the resin's ability to cure. Stick to powder, glitter, and standard embellishments. Curing time is similar to their other UV resins but with a stronger scent, thicker but better dome ability and object magnification making this resin well suited for more detailed projects by intermediate to advanced artists. .
