Review on πŸ”† 60g UV Resin - Transparent Hard Type Glue for DIY Jewelry Craft Decoration Making - Crystal Clear Solar Cure Sunlight Activated Resin for Resin Mold, Casting and Coating by Hannah Curi

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Luminous intensity and type are really important. Do not give up!

Update 4/9/19: Now the resin works fine. I live in Michigan and it's been sunny for the past few weeks. Now when I put my model on my porch, this resin dries very quickly. I can do multiple coats a day (less than a quarter of an inch each time). When poured in the sunlight it will start to harden as soon as the resin comes into contact with the model! It's a bit of a downside because I'm used to making adjustments now, but it's super cool! I'll just pour inside again. The type and intensity of the light are really important. So if you're not getting the results you want, try changing the light source you're using. The Michigan winter sun and my UV flashlight didn't work for me, but I've seen others get good results with UV light. I'm just not very good with this resin. Update 3/28/19: Shortly after writing this review, I retested my project and found it to be significantly less sticky. It's been over a week but the day before I put it in another window. I added another layer and it basically cured within a few hours. We'll see how that goes. For now I'm increasing my rating to 3 stars and if I don't have any further issues I'll assume the problem is on my side and go back to 5 stars. I was so excited to get this resin. I've put it under my UV flashlight and checked every few minutes but it's not curing. I left it in the light for a few days and it got better but still quite sticky. I placed it on the window under a black light flashlight. Same result. I only have a layer about 1/8 inch thick, maybe a little less. I still have to apply a few coats to complete the little fountain I made, but I'm scared of doing it because I'm not sure if it will ever harden. After researching the problem, I assume this can happen if the resin is too old. But I started using it the day after I got it from Revain.

Pros
  • PREMIUM UV Resin cures to a crystal clear, glass-like finish that offers excellent resistance to scratches, stains and yellowing. And its self-leveling and self-degassing properties make your job easier!
