We have been making resin projects for 3 years now. When we started, about half of our projects didn't ever harden and we wasted a ton of resin. I'm sure some of it was user error. I'm also sure, it was the resin brands we were using. We tried 4 or 5 different resins and then I found this one 2 years ago and we won't be switching again!! I've bought 8 gallons so far!It has almost no bubbles. ( others were full of both microbubbles and big ones.) This brand is so clear! I love the look!It has a fantastic work time! 35 to 45 minutes before it gets too thick to pour. It does get warm but it does not get hot. One of the brands we tried even started smoking and it was burning my hand holding the container!This resin is just the right amount of thick. I pour it in the mold and it levels off, seeping down to to cover the bottom and sides. Dice molds require poking the corners with a toothpick but the resin by itself does a fantastic job on almost everything else. We were having a lot of holes around the rims of our resin before, but this resin doesnt have that issue!It takes me 3 to 4 minutes to mix the resin. I sit the resin in a sink full of hot water for a few minutes. I measure the hardener first. Then I measure the warmed resin into the same container and mix slowly. Scraping the sides and bottom now and then. When it's not cloudy anymore it's ready.It has turned out perfect every single time in the past 2 years. It doesn't stick to the mold. I'm so happy I found this resin!

Extra fast shipping and reasonable price. Will update when I use the product

I like that it is a very clear, minimal bubble resin. It’s easy to work and doesn’t have a harsh odor (it has a smell, but is not offensive). I did find that it is a bit too thin to keep glitter particles suspended. My pieces with glitter or gold flakes all turned out with it on the bottom only. I also found that it’s not ideal with alcohol inks, specifically with “petri” effects as the alcohol inks settled much too heavily on the bottom causing unsightly large splotches. I will probably continue to purchase and use as it’s a great price point and the free accessories are great. But I will be limiting its use to clear top coats or projects without added glitter or flakes.

I've been on a DIY spree lately, tackling small projects around the house. This led me to discover the Nicpro Crystal Clear Epoxy Resin Kit, which has now become a staple in my crafting arsenal. The kit is as comprehensive as they come - it packs a 0.5 gallon of resin and 0.5 gallon of hardener, along with a bunch of handy accessories like measuring cups, silicone sticks, and gloves. They even throw in user instructions, which were clear and easy to follow.The first project I tackled was a mini river table. Mixing the epoxy was a breeze, thanks to the 1:1 ratio which takes the guesswork out of the equation. The 30-minute work time was ample for me to pour and spread the resin. I was pleasantly surprised to see no bubbles forming as I worked the epoxy - this kit is self-degassing as advertised!As for the curing, it went off without a hitch. I left it to cure overnight and by next morning, my table had that high gloss, crystal clear finish that I was hoping for. The epoxy hardened well with no sticky or tacky spots.I appreciate that this epoxy is non-toxic and has a low odor, which made working with it indoors comfortable. Plus, the UV stabilizer and yellowing resistance are great additions for long-term clarity.I have used this epoxy for a couple more projects since, including coating a bar top and making some jewelry. The results have been consistently good, and the accessories included in the kit have held up well through multiple uses.

The quality of the resin is the best! It’s easy to use. You get 2 gallons for a good price. It’s clear and bubble free if you use a heat mat. Everything we make with it looks amazing! It’s the right size and the right color.

This is a reorder. I like the product (purchase small containers first to try it) works well, self leveling and very low odor. Food safe.

I liked that this resin was clear and had almost no air bubbles in it but the smell was very very strong and it seems brittle and it cracks. I have used other resins before with no difficulty and not only did this product crack and seem brittle but it took way longer than it should have to harden . I measured it very carefully and mixed it very well like the directions say. I even had to tape up the sides of my smaller trays and bowls to keep the shape. So for smaller flatter projects it might be okay.
