Awesome Resin!! *Edit with Photos!*
EDIT:I’ve purchased this Resin 5 times now, with the last 3 being double orders. I really like it a lot- it works for me.I’ve added photos of a few items I’ve made using this Epoxy Resin. (I’m still learning how to do certain things but I’m just showing the resin, not the items.) Also 2 photos of the resin mixed in my cup, and the amount of resin i receive in my containers.Ive noticed 1 issue and it’s not a huge deal- to me…but I wanted to mention it.When I’m at the bottom of each container- there’s usually approximately 150ml left (combined A&B). When I pour and mix- I’m seeing a lot of bubbles-way more than normal, I don’t know if it’s because it’s the bottom of the barrel and really such a small amount. Some of the bubbles go away but I’m still left with a lot. I can add colorant, but left alone it’s not good. I’ll be working on using all the resin when it gets close to the end, instead of leaving that small amount, hopefully taking care of this issue.I hope my review/s help. I really do like this resin the most.*ORIGINAL REVIEW*I’ve used several brands of Epoxy Resin...I’ve really like some, and hated others. This brand is probably my favorite!The Hardener is the consistency of water, the Resin is like the thickest Molasses.I use 10 ounce plastic paint mixing cups, along with wooden tongue depressors to stir.I pour the Hardener (B) in first- then the resin (A). I find it easier to mix because the resin doesn’t stick to the cup. I do not use several cups and transfer to mix- I use ONE cup, and I stir for 3 minutes, put it down for 3 minutes, then stir again for another minute or 2. Then- I use my torch and torch what little bubbles-there are right in the cup. I hold my torch about 9 inches above the cup, so the cup doesn’t melt. I repeat this 2-3 times. When I’m ready to color it, I add either Mica or Alcohol Ink- or both, and I might add Glitter or other additives- mix well, torch 1 more quick time- then I pour.Once poured- I give it a few minutes to settle. If there are any bubbles, (with this brand I have found very, very few)....I use an Acupuncture needle and pop whatever is there.This brand is by far the easiest to use. Mixing is a dream. I don’t smell anything...(all the others I’ve used have odors from faint to really strong). The items that I have made have dried hard and I can remove from the molds within 8-10 hours.This is definitely cheaper than any other brand, and worth every penny in my opinion.I will post photos as soon as I can.

Great epoxy. Especially for the cost.
Edited to add: It's not a durable epoxy. It has scratched and dented from normal use. So it is great for looks, but not for a highly used area.The product was thinner than others I have used as other reviewers said. But, it did mix well and pour easily. It also spread out relatively well since it was a bit thinner. However, it did come out quite clear and without bubbles. (I used a torch to take care of the bubbles but it did work well and more bubbles didn't appear.)Overall great epoxy especially for the price point of being about 60-75% of the cost of others.

Best epoxy resin ever!
I switched epoxy every time I bought it because I couldn’t find the right kind. But this is the best I’ve gotten so far. I won’t switch again. I’ve bought this three times so far. I have never had an issue with bubbles and it mixes so easily. And the shipping is so fast! It’s ALWAYS here in two days. And packaged perfectly! They even sent me a coupon for 10% off my next purchase. Best epoxy resin ever! Thank you

Excellent resin, except for bubbles
This is a good resin. Cures very hard, takes all kinds of color additives and still cures solid. Also has a good working time. The price is great of course! Part B is very thin which is great, but part A is extremely thick like heavy glue and I haven’t found a way yet to get rid of the micro-bubbles, even heating part A before pouring. So if you want to do a lot of clear pours or if you don’t have a pressure pot this won’t be a good resin, however I am happy with it when adding colorants or glitter that hide micro-bubbles.

Great for all resin projects!
The smell is very strong, but not a deal breaker. The bottles are sized and shaped perfectly for storage...not at all bulky. I'm use to both Part A and B being the same consistency, but with this brand...Part B is more liquid like, super runny. While Part A is thick and viscous. The end result is the same as other brands that I've tried. But overall, I'd purchase it again!

Good Value, just not my type.
Great value, however this is a very thin epoxy. It takes no less than 24 hours to cure. I found that if your doing a single color or glitters its fine. But if your looking to get a good versatility in color, its not thick enough to hold. My colors all bled together and made a grey shimmery look. I used this on small and medium molds. I did a thin pour and a thicker pour. Also found that heating to relieve the bubbles just made a mess with this thin epoxy. I ended up with lots of bubbles still.My personal preference is a thicker quicker setting epoxy.

Shines, pours well, nice for casting.
This goes a long way for the price, it settles nice and smooth. Runs a little thin for castin but not too bad and def something I could work around. I like it for my epoxy projects and the cost is great.

I don't recommend this for art casting in silicone molds.
This is thick resin, creates a lot of micro bubbles. So, I put the resin container only, not the hardener, in warm water to loosen it up. I mixed it for 3 minutes and then let it set for 5 minutes. Mind you, that is already 8 mins of my pot time, shouldn't be a problem. I mix 200 ml, not a huge amount, 74 degrees in my house. I pored the resin into 4 three Oz paper cups to mix my colors in, and within 15 min the resin overheated and ruined my project. Didn't use a torch or a heat gun. This is not the first time this resin overheated, it has an extremely short pot life even in smaller amounts. I don't recommend this resin.
