Super easy to work with and great quality

I've tried different brands of epoxy resin and I have to say this is my new favorite! First let me say that I've only been making resin sculptures for about a year. So I still consider myself a beginner, but I've done quite a bit in the last year. So I had the opportunity to go shopping and discover things I like and dislike about some of the different brands. Unlike some other brands I've tried, this one was really easy to work with and pretty forgiving when it comes to getting the exact 50/50 mix. While I always try to keep my mix as perfect as possible, it's not always possible. Especially since the varieties are thicker than others and you'll end up leaving some in your measuring cups. After combining components A and B, I always mix them thoroughly. When they say blend for 3-5 minutes, they mean blend for at least 3-5 full minutes. I did notice some bubbles in my mixed resin, but I just let it sit for a few minutes after I was done mixing and that seemed to get rid of most of the bubbles. This brand also gave me a decent working time before it started to harden. As for curing, I always try to keep my projects in the molds for at least 18-24 hours and have not had any issues with things not setting or curing properly. All of my subjects came out very clear and fully cured. If I had any problem at all with this brand I would say it's a tendency to blister, but I have to take the blame for a lot of it because I could be a bit more proactive in checking for blistering after how resin was poured became my molds and I removed them myself. Overall still one of my favorite brands of epoxy. I will definitely order more and recommend to everyone.
