Is it really "food safe"?
It's epoxy resin and works like all the others.What's strange though is the reason I bought it was it was advertised Food Safe in the product description but the actual product doesn't mention it anywhere. The bottles themselves have a "non-toxic" claim but the box they came in says "harmful if ingested". So which is it?It is also marked with "MSDS" whatever that means. One would think it stands for "Material Safety Data Sheet" but beyond the package markings there is nothing else with the product. A data sheet doesn't have to be provided but I couldn't find this product in the SDS/MSDS database.As an epoxy I give it 5 stars but the claim of "Food safe" has me worried. Averages out to 3 stars.

It’s my favorite to work with so far!
I really like this resin for a number of reasons:- it’s way lower odor than Alum*lite which is what I've used for years. Definitely still wear a mask but it's not as noxious as what I'm used to- it's thin, which is good and bad. Good because it's easy to mix slowly to keep bubbles down, good because this thin resin loves mica powder, bad because I had to use 30 minutes of the working time just sitting there waiting for the resin to solidify enough to hold confetti glitter in place and I still think it sank farther than I'd like it to. The bad is annoying but not a deal breaker- it's super clear and not sticky, I dont make a huge mess pouring straight out of the bottle.- the expoxy and hardener seem to be staying the same consistency. I have had other brands of resin change due to my poor storage and then it becomes a big guessing game when measuring 1:1Other reviewers mentioned problems with bubbles, so here’s what I did to manage that.- mix slow slow slow with a long silicone paint mixer, not a porous popsicle stick. Small circles then flat around the sides to get it all mixed- leave the resin alone to let some bubbles rise, spray a LITTLE rubbing alcohol on the surface of your mixing cup, then mix again- pour slow into your mold and use your spray rubbing alcohol to take care of surface bubbles (don’t use a torch or heat gun as this can super heat your resin and bond it to your mold - trust me I tested this for you)

Tesin is perfect to create ur own arrangements since they’re so expensive
I wanted to create an arrangement since similar ones are $300- 400+. I already had the hydrangeas from pier1, purchased the $10 peonies here on amz & had the vase from ikea. I’d say total cost was $125 max. The last pic is with 16 oz of resin which obv was not enough!The finished pics are with THIS resin which is a lot & completed my project.It set pretty fast, I should’ve checked the flowers as soon as it started setting bc I missed a few but will tie them with raffia.Overall I’m sooooo happy with the final product & can say this is so simple to do.

good but cures faster than it says
I used this on a large geode project last night. It's now 12 hours later and the resin seems to have set up perfectly fine. I don't see bubbles and the clarity looks good from what I can tell so far. It was very clear in the bottles and poured easily. I also like the price, it's a little cheaper than the competitors.Product states you have 40 minutes working time but I found this to be untrue. I had much less time, maybe 25 minutes. Also, the one cup where I added ONE drop of alcohol ink became goopy and started smoking so I would avoid in future. I also felt like it didn't self-level as well as some others, but that could be due to it thickening more quickly than expected.All in all, I think it's fine, especially cause it costs less and I go through a lot of resin. Am ordering a second box so that I can finish my project.

WILL NOT CURE
I bought this because I have a lot of resin orders but it will not cure! Now I have 11 orders needing to be done and a bunch of rubbery pours. They’ve been sitting out for days and nothing! I don’t know what is wrong with it but I cannot get it to work. Mixed little, mixed a lot, mixed slow and mixed vigorously and nothing works. It just won’t cure. I don’t know what to do with it and it has specs in one of them idk what it is. I’m beyond annoyed I don’t know if it’s expired but I’m so behind on orders I don’t know how I’ll recover

Do not use alcohol inks
While the epoxy its self gets the job done i wouldn’t recommend it to my worst enemy. I bought this epoxy because it shipped same day with next day delivery and my usual epoxy isn’t going to make it on time for my dead line. Big big big mistake. I used it to make jars and ash trays for. When I did the first jar and added the blue alcohol ink in it initially turned the proper color but quickly turned and orange red color. I figured it may have been because I added the ink in last minute while the epoxy was hot so i went on to the next jar. It hadn’t turned so i figured it was fine and that was the problem same blue. After 2 hours it also had changed colors. I then tried a different blue (pictured) and the same exact thing happened. I then tried with acrylic paint and that one didn’t turn any different color and remained red. i have used those same inks and same colors numerous times with 3 other epoxy brands and have never had this problem. So with that being said if you plan on getting this epoxy do not try it with alcohol ink.

Good customer service
I had some issues when I first received the product with my resin being cloudy and my pieces not hardening .Customer service reached out with some suggestions to help me resolve my issue with the product, and it helped. My resin is no longer cloudy, and my new pieces I made are solid

Not the best
Very thin, larger glitter would sink to the bottom. Started to Set really quickly, with in 20 minutes which didnt give much time to use.Changed review to one star because of response that this resin doesn’t work with added glitter or mica powder. Save your money and time and buy a different product.
