CRAFT RESIN 1.5L Crystal Clear Deep Pour Epoxy Resin Kit - Food Safe & UV Resistant Best for DIY, Art, River Table, Wood, Flower Preservation, Mould Casting Resin Epoxy Kit - for Beginners & Pros

Craft Resin is my preferred brand; I’ve used several over the years, and this is consistently a good performer. I use this for my deeper pours, and the 1:1 for shallower projects. Good amount of working time, good viscosity, low/no smell, good/relevant curing time (this one cures slower than the other), crystal clear, very few (if any) bubbles (just be sure to catch the bubbles where air gets trapped around the edges etc).

Bought resin to make a large lazy Susan. Worked perfectly and dried exactly to specification. Very easy to use and mix. Followed instructions regarding mixing and at first I was concerned that it wasn’t going to clear but at the 5 minute mark it went crystal clear and was ready to pour. Ended up with some bubbles but that was entirely my fault as I was pouring onto glued down beer caps which had some air under them but actually I love the bubbles as it reflects the fizzy nature of the project.

I was worried after having read the bad reviews on here, and being a first time resin user.However, it was very straightforward (although the instructions could benefit from a little improvement).We used the 1:2 ratio, after placing the bottles in warm water for 5 minutes. We stirred well as advised for 5 minutes, and then poured without scraping the sides. It took around 48 hours drying time (it was around an inch thick).We were able to remove bubbles with a heat gun (I set a timer for 2 hours throughout the first day, left over night and did the same the following day).The smell was low.Overall really happy with the performance, ease of use, and the results thus far.

Excellent product. Mixed well with mica powder. I gave it 3 days to fully harden. Internal conditions were within tolerance and I am sure that this helped. I will be ordering another 6l to make two side tables (burr oak).

A good product easy to use

My initial review was a 3 star as although I have used this resin many times before I got a batch that simply would not cure hard. All my previous purchases have been 5 star, and this quickly became my go to resin of choice. The viscosity is nice, the clarity is excellent and the longer cure time wasn’t too long. A Goldilocks of resins if you will. As I said this last batch was a bit iffy, however Craft Resin and their customer service are exceptional. The messages were polite and they sent out a a small replacement kit (a 24hr cure kit which is still very useable for my projects). So all in all I am happy to update this review to a 5 star and give the resin and Resin Craft a full recommendation.

i brought this kit to pour into a shelf which has a raised lip. The wood needed to be protected as the shelf will have plants on and water spill would ruin the wood. The resin is easy to mix- no vapour at all. Done inside the house with zero fume issues. You must mix thoroughly till it’s totally clear. I put on a radiator to get very warm, aids mixing and also the release of air bubbles. It does take 2 days to cure, 3 days to be hard. This is with a thin coating. Needs to be left up to a week before use. So works well and would use again.

I have tried using this on 3 occasions and each time, I have so many bubbles that its almost impossible to get rid of them. Deep pour resin should be close to the viscosity of water but this is far too thick. I have tried leaving the resin containers in warm water but its still has thousands of bubbles.It does however cure very solid and is fine if you want to do black rivers or rivers with rich colors, but if you want to do transparent rivers, a strange mist occurs after about 18 hrs of curing which you cannot get rid of. Its a shame as I have excellent results with the table top resin from the same company.
