It was pretty easy to use and mix. And very shiny. I've posted a photo of the resin residue that hasn't been used after drying to show the transparency. The heat resistance is good and when using a hair dryer I had no problems with the resin overheating. It's great for small projects, but because of the quick curing time I was in a hurry to make a large piece and I was afraid it might go bad. become sticky during use. Another problem I had was that when the first coat was dry and I applied the glossy coat, it didn't spread evenly. Also with the use of giant spreaders, a heat gun and leveling skills. I had to add quite a bit of glitter in between, smoothing it out and heating it up. And just this shift took me 30-60 minutes. If you're making small molds or casting projects this is really good, but larger projects will come with a slower setting resin.
