Review on ๐Ÿ“ฆ Alumilite Water Clear Casting Resin Kit - Two Component, 32 oz. Package (Model 10055) by Barbara Simmons

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Contracts/renewals and nothing for inexperienced users.

Hard to tell if it expanded or contracted or both, but the jar I tried to fill with it kept breaking/cracking, whether it was glass or plastic. I degassed the resin at over 80psi under vacuum prior to mixing and pouring and could not get a bubble/crack free cure result. I am aware of the resin allergy precautions required when working with some resins and this is definitely one of them. I made the mistake of touching my face and developed a rash that lasted about a week on all my arms and forehead, as troublesome as a bad sunburn and stinging heat. This is largely avoidable if you're very careful, but if you need clear resin for something everyday, avoid it and choose one of the more convenient products.

Pros
  • Crystal clear resin
Cons
  • Out of fashion
