1 Gallon Epoxy Resin Kit - Honleek Crystal Clear, 1:1 Volume Ratio, High Gloss Finish, UV Resistant, Fast Cure, Ideal for Art, Jewelry, Crafting, Tumblers & More - Includes Resin & Hardener

This is the first time I've purchased, or used, epoxy resin, so I'll try to review this product in a way that will be helpful to everyone, including experienced users.To start, the product is packaged very well. Both bottles are easy to identify, so it would be difficult to mistakingly pour from the wrong bottle. While a mistake like that wouldn't waste much of the product, it would waste time waiting for it to harden, and realizing, after 24 hours, that it wasn't going to harden.I am so happy that the package included instructions, and those instructions included some very helpful tips. The small booklet was concise, well thought out, and really helped me to better understand how this product works.After mixing my first batch I realized that I may have gotten a bit too aggressive with the actual mixing. It looked like a photo of carbonated water. I think my bubbles had bubbles. Thanks to the instructions, I was able to remove those bubbles quickly, and without a lot of effort. When I mixed a second batch I tried to slow down, while still being thorough, and there was a lot less bubbles, which were easy to remove. After letting both pours harden for 24 hours, and removing the hardened epoxy resin from the silicone molds, I was very happy with the results. I think it hardened and dried more quickly than 24 hours, but the instructions recommended 24 hours, so that's what I did.All together, I'm super pleased with this product. The next time I have a project that requires this type of product, this is what I plan on buying. I really like that the end results provided a crystal clear piece, regardless of the thickness of the item I made, and the thickness of some of the things I made was as much as 4 inches. There's a huge amount of value for the money.

This is my first experience with two part resin, aside from two part epoxy adhesive. I bought it to use as an adhesive, because buying the tiny tubes that dry out after a single use was annoying and not so cost effective. I also used it to coat small painted hair clips and pins to protect them and make them shiny. After using it a few times, I’ve had inconsistent results, even in the same mix batch. Some adhered beautifully. Some stayed tacky for weeks, and I had to scrape it off and redo it. Using too thick of a layer definitely had a higher failure rate, as I often found myself adding a little more to make getting a smooth surface easier. It looked a little cloudy when first mixed, but turned clear again and leveled out nicely when spread across a surface. I think the 68 degree temp in my house in winter probably also contributed to the failure rate. I think the failures were probably mostly due to my inexperience as I had fewer failures when I kept the layers thin and put the pieces in warm areas to dry.

I tried it due to price. Works super well! I make cutting boards and inlay epoxy and it turned out great. No bubbles

Didn't have hard time to work with fumes wasn't bad. I love the finish glossy look and didn't take long to dry I used for thin layer on table top

I wish I had not purchased this product. The quality of the B container was defective. Container A opened fine. Container B would not open. It would not open on the very first time I tried to open it. The lid would turn, but it would not press down. I've tried clamps, grips, and people. It WILL NOT OPEN. Refund is not available. It was a waste of money.

Love this proxy this is the second time I've purchased this, easy to mix and sets up great.

Slow to harden but it get hard.

So glade i started using this brand. It was at a great price and it does as it says no bubbles and don't turn yellow It hardens quickly and makes your work standout. Comes with very clear instructions.
