Naked Fusion Resin Crystal Clear/Art Resin Epoxy

Firstly, I am not new to resin. I have tried almost every brand out there and am very thrilled to have landed on Naked Fusion. I have been truly impressed with their resin products. I have purchased their resin probably at least 20 to 30 times, I’ve lost count. If you haven’t tried it, I highly recommend trying it..you won’t be disappointed. I outlined some of my process when pouring this resin that is good to know. Especially if you are making items to sell. Very worth it for me to get a high quality resin.I feel the price for Naked Fusion is very reasonable for such high quality resin. Even for a hobbyist I would recommend going for the higher quality product. It’s worth every penny and I like taking advantage and stocking up when they have coupons and promotions too.I make anything from coasters, trays and serving boards and smaller format river tables. So I mix my pours with live edge wood, pigments and dried and silk flowers.Here’s some of my experiences to share:1. Working with correct temperatures for your pour is so important no matter what brand of epoxy you are using. With Naked Fusion they give very specific instructions on warming your resin in a water bath to get it up to the correct temp. That is a huge key for success!When it is cold, I keep a temperature gun on hand so I can check your temperatures for accuracy. I do this religiously to make sure my viscosity is just right when pouring. Resin can even be cold in a 70 degree room so I still warm it up before mixing. I usually work in about a 70 degrees room temp and maintain the temp during the whole curing process.2. Having a resin that cures HARD is a must for me. I am very patient and precise with my measuring and mixing and always very pleased with how durable and hard it cures. The scratch resistance and heat resistance is very IMPRESSIVE too, a big benefit for my wood items and wearable items. I have found a lot of other resin brands out here don’t cure as hard and may look good but they are a little soft. That’s a no go for me.. another resin I am hooked on Naked Fusion.3. I have heard some people complain about bubbles in reviews but I think it is because they don’t warm the resin. Once it is at a good temperature the bubbles come right out with a heat gun with no problem. It is actually quite EASY, I have been able to achieve crystal clear results time after time. Some pours shallow and some deeper poured in layers, all turned out awesome! This is another huge deal for me, clear pours are a must. I am patient and babysit my pours for a little while and use the heat gun to make sure all the bubbles are gone. I think beginners expect to use heat only once but that is not the case with resin in general. Air releases for a little while after a pour and you need to watch it during the gel phase, I think the biggest mistake a beginner makes is to only use the heat gun once and think it’s done. This is a craft and think its important put your attention on your pieces, put some love in!! Once you get the hang of it, it is so easy.4. I originally started using Naked Fusion for coating wood on my projects and making ocean wave cutting boards. It is fantastic for wood projects! The colors and grain of the wood look gorgeous with the High shine and reflective. I use the heat gun to create the wave effects with clear and white pigments. LOVE how it looks for ocean froth. I always precoat my wood with a thin layer to seal it. Let it set up for at least 8 hours then start the wave process in layers. Sometimes I make several boards at once, I have plenty of working time to create the wave effects.5. I recently added flower preservation to my list of projects. It seems to be a big trend in the resin world. There seems to be a lot demand for flower preservation. So, I initially watched tons of videos to find out the best techniques out there. I have started with small compressed dried flowers and tried my first large flower pieces with silk flowers to get my techniques down. I flooded the flowers the 1st day to set them in place and get a light coat of resin between the petals. On the videos I watched they said precoating the petals helps prevent trapped air from between the petals when you do the casting layers. It was a great tip! Once the 1st coat cured then I was able to fill the mold in layers. The silk flowers are stunning in the resin! VERY HAPPY! I grow tons of flowers in my garden so I can't wait to dry them out to preserve in resin next.6. Depending on the size of my pour I will use just The Artist’s Resin and sometimes use a mix of The Artist’s Resin and the Deep Pour. It is great that I can use both types of resin on a project for different effects in the layers. I called the company and they advised me to wait to layer until the other type of resin was mostly cured.7. Since I work around epoxy resin daily, the fact that Naked Fusion doesn’t have a smell and is a cleaner resin with no extra additives was one of the first reasons I decided to give it a try. I definitely noticed a difference from other brands out there. My studio is in my home and I want to be able to work in my studio without any strong smell. Naked Fusion solved a big problem for me, I haven’t had any issues since I changed over to Naked Fusion. I know many artists are in the same boat as me so it’s worth it to have a cleaner resin.8. Another great feature of the resin is food safe. That is crucial for the types of items I make. When I sell my items used for serving food this is a MUST! The fact that Naked Fusion is a cleaner product gives me confidence in the kitchen items I sell.9. I love that Naked Fusion makes me look good(LOL) . I look talented because the product is awesome and delivers every time!! I use my proven methods, I don’t have time to waste on my projects not turning out so this resin is definitely my go to for every project Resin costs too much to have projects go wrong so reliability is everything for me. I would DEFINITELY recommend trying it, be patient and read the instructions and you’ll be happy you did.Lastly, their customer service is outstanding! I called them when I needed help and they coached me through my situation. You can reach real people who are incredibly knowledgeable and want to help their customers. It is the best support I have been able to find from a resin company. I feel like the company really cares about its artist and crafting community’s success, and that is gold to me!

This resin cures really fast in Singapore's weather. Work time is about 20 to 30 mins- daytime temp being 90 deg F. I could add another layer of resin after 6 hours. Love that it's almost odor free, though I would still use a respirator. It is good quality resin for the price paid and I would order it again and use it to top coat my resin crafts.

I am still learning as I think you never stop learning with resin, there are endless ways to use it. I tried a variety of molds to see how they came out. Some with pigments and some clear.Naked Fusion was really easy to use. I made sure my temps were correct and warmed the Part A before mixing since the instructions suggested it. The consistency of the resin was really perfect for me. NICE FLOW!The bubbles that show up after you stir float right out with a heat gun. I had no problem achieving a crystal clear coaster. I know why they call it diamond clarity…loving the clarity. A heat gun is a necessity when working with any resin so make sure you own one if you plan to do resin pours in silicone molds. Once you get the hang of it, it’s really easy. I've been getting into plant and flowers in resin, still kind of new to it but I tried a butterfly piece with little dried flowers and I'm really happy with how it turned out (I attached a picture to this review as proof!). It seems to be a big trend right now.I am also working with mica pigments, alcohol inks and resin dyes. I wanted to experiment with a few types of colorants and pigments, so I mixed a few pigments to get different effects, and the colors flowed together just right.I was able to de-mold relatively quickly so that was another huge plus. My piece cured very hard and seemed incredibly durable. I did a few scratch tests and there were no scratches, very strong. I tested the coasters with hot coffee cups and no issues. It's a strong, resilient material. I am impressed with the quality and will be continuing to reorder. I sell my finished artworks and having confidence and the quality and durability is important to me. Naked Fusion passed all my tests.A friend of mine recommended Naked Fusion. They said it was the only resin use and they are pretty savvy when it comes to resin. I have been working on resin projects for about 2 years now and tried a number of different resins. Glad I took the recommendation.

This products dries up faster than the rest! And the bubbling is lesser as well. Absolutely love it!

I have tried several resin brands before and heard about Naked Fusion from a video tutorial. They highly recommended it so I decided to give it a try. Naked Fusion is now my favorite resin!!! It’s really easy to work with, it doesn’t smell so it’s easy to use in my studio space and I love that it is non toxic.I followed the instructions to warm the part A before mixing because I know it’s important to make sure your resin isn’t cool.  I am an experienced resin user and always make sure to be precise in my measuring and mixing. The bubbles release very easily with a heat gun, you can see them release and the resin keeps getting clearer and clearer with a little heat. It comes out ultra clear in my  coaster molds. I use dried flowers and butterflies in my coasters and they are clear and  beautiful every time!  I have used Naked Fusion with my alcohol inks and pigments and I am super impressed with the results.  I get amazing effects, it cures really hard and I always get consistent results. I have also been playing around with Naked Fusion for resin waves on paintings. Still learning but so far so good! Very Happy!The other thing is that I sell my coasters and it is really important to me that Naked Fusion is food safe and heat resistant as well. It has a super hard cured finish and holds up well without scratching. It has all the qualities I was looking for in a resin and the price is really reasonable for the high quality. I have paid a lot more for other resins and I feel like I am getting a great deal. So happy with to have found this resin and Naked Fusion will be my go to from now on!! Highly recommend trying it!
