Table Top Epoxy Resin Kit 1-Gal (0.5 Gal Resin and 0.5 Gal Hardener Set)–Clear Coat for Table Top Art with Mixing Cups, Stir Sticks, Brushes, and Gloves, Hand Mix DIY Casting Supplies

What can I say, the epoxy does exactly as the seller describes. The appearance is super clear and completely cures within 24-48 hours depending on the thickness of your pour. Its very easy to clean up with some %60 to 80% alcohol I mean completely with out leaving any annoying sticky stuff that gets all over your hands. I am surprised by the bottle capacity amount and just how far it goes, now I'm glad I didn't buy it in gallon jugs. Super fun and super easy I feel like a pro now.

I have purchased this brand a few times now. I’ve also purchased other brands. I ONLY do casting.I usually get the 1 gallon but decided to start getting the 2 gallon. I have not noticed a yellow tint to any of the bottles I have received.I do notice bubbles, but I don’t see any more than in other brands I’ve purchased. With this brand, I am able to take a little bit longer to do what I do than when I’ve used other brands....not sure why.I live in Texas where it’s always warm or hot- but because of medical reasons...my house temperature is *never* over 68 degrees. Never.I do mix in a slightly different manner than I’ve read how others do, and from what is suggested.I mix my resin epoxy in 10 ounce cups. I’ve used larger but I feel the 10 ounce or smaller cups work better, even if I have to use 3 or 4 cups for a larger project. I stir with a tongue depressor for 5 minutes, then I let it sit for 5-10 minutes. During that 5-10 minutes...I torch the bubbles, usually 3 times, sometimes just 2. Right before I go to pour- I torch it again. This is when I add colorant (mica and/or alcohol ink) and/or glitter - or other cool things. I lightly torch one more time and I do hold the torch about 6 inches above the cup so the cup doesn’t melt. When I start pouring...the resin is clear and there are hardly any bubbles.After pouring is done- IF there are any bubbles, I use an acupuncture needle to pop them. I very rarely use a torch once the resin is in the mold. I’ve ruined a few molds doing so, (when I first began casting) so I stopped.I check my molds every 30 minutes and if there are no bubbles or any dust dropping in, after 2 hours...I cover and let it cure.My items are usually hard within 8 hours. When I make my candle panels- I take it out of the mold then because it is hard enough that it doesn’t lose its shape, and nothing is ‘drippy’, and is pliable enough for me to put a curved shape to it. My husband and I made something that I use to shape my panels.My only “complaint” is this stuff smells like stinky feet. 😳 seriously, I double mask, I open windows and have fans going near where I work. My husband says I have a sensitive sense of smell because he can’t smell it...but you can never be too careful using resin epoxy. I like that the Hardener is like water and the resin is super thick...it helps me make sure I don’t use double of one, which I have done before.My experience with this particular brand is great. I’ve not had any negative issues. I feel like the price for a 2 gallon kit is worth it.I’ll post some photos in a few days of things I’ve made (I had to put everything away as we had our windows replaced).

Be very careful and due your research. Do not poor more then 1/4 inch thick pours with 6 hours between them. And faster and your defiantly in for some major work or throwing away your project. Keep your room at 75 degrees (plus 3 minus 1) do not let room change temperature quickly. Slow stir for a while making sure to mix very very well, do not use drill(it adds more bubbles)Example of good and bad pours.Good: Hard as a rock 6 to 8 hours after final pour.Bad: sticky tacky days after. Multiple pours with not enough curing time or lower room temperature, first pour 1/4" thick 6 hours later next pour 1/4" thick 4 hours later, 3rd pour 5/16" thick. Last pour will dry to quick causing middle pour to not dry at all, possible mixing of layers causing softer gel like to end up on top.Bad: 2 inch thick pour. Grab a fire extinguisher and hope nothing catches on fire. Final product will dry in 30 min to an hour instead of 24 hours. Will crack everywhere while drying. Imagine throwing molten glass in a freezer thats in an ice cube tray. The glass sticks to the tray and cracks as everything cools/shrinks.

I purchased the epoxy in mid 2024. I used a small amount and set it aside. In 8/25, I used the amount I had leftover. It was still good. Make sure to check how fluid it pours before doing a flood coat. I must have not had enough hardner and it was a thick pour, my own fault.
