Resiners Resin Curing Machine, Cure Ⅰ, AI Mode One-Click Quick Curing Resin Dryer Machine, Two Hours Resin Supplies Resin Curing Station for Epoxy Resin Casting Molds Silicone (240V)

Did not even know this product existed till I watched a YouTube video and then just had to have oneThey were so high in price but when I found this one I couldn’t resistThis was the cheapest one I found in the UK and it makes your resin work so much easierSo easy to use and helps with bubbles tooWould highly recommend

I am just starting out in resin , however purchased this as I thought could cut down curing time ! And boy yes it works , it’s a bit more plasticy than I thought but a clever little contraption dries your resin in 2 hours so they are hard enough to come out of the moulds then I just left mine to harden some more overnight but if you are a resin artist selling your stuff this could allow you to dry stuff quicker ! Tray could be deeper , you can turn the tray over to get a little bit deeper ! But I did pens and book marks etcThe flatter the object the better! For £40 not a bad buy

I'm fairly new to working with resin and an impatient crafter so the thought of curing my pieces faster and not having to wait 24 hours excited me. I purchased this wonderful compact machine with high hopes and it did not disappoint. The reasonably deep trays that were perfect for my needs. If you make small resin items such as jewellery, key-rings, coasters, bookmarks, etc then this if for you. It's very simple to use, and has definitely cut my curing time right down, sometimes its cured in 2 hours sometime sit takes a little longer, but thats to be expected as the various brands, ratio mixes of resin and your ambient temps, etc will produce varied results. Yes its a bit of trial and error, but once you work out the right temp and time for you this really is a game changer, just be sure to check for air bubbles at the start. I had a few issues with my trays and adjusting them but the Resiners Customer Care Team were very easy to contact and replied in a timely manner so my issues were resolved promptly. I am glad I made this purchase.

I've been so curious about this because crafting is my release outside of work (that's probably become a lot more important to most of us in the last few years), but until recently it wasn't available in the UK. As soon as it was I jumped on it.There are some really good aspects, and some not so good aspects, depending on the type of resin work you do. I'll do a pros and cons list to make it simpler to organise.So the pros:~ looks cute - like a pale mint green radio from the 50s~ very easy to use, especially in AI (automatic) mode~ did fully cure my resin in 2 hours (the utility of this varies from brand to brand, though - I'll get to this later)~ smaller than you'd think, so it doesn't take up a lot of room~ has 3 interior shelves so you can triple stack your moulds to cureAnd then the bad, and in some ways this is a longer list, depending on your needs:~ first off, the instruction manual is really poor - I'm not fussed about the grammar or spelling errors, but the lack of actual instructions is so weird. It tells you there's an AI mode and a manual mode - it doesn't explain how they both work, what they both do or how to operate the manual mode.~ when it's on, it's quite loud - it's about the same volume as an air purifier, or a loudish fan. Not enough to interrupt your day, but you probably wouldn't want to run it late at night.~ the three interior trays are VERY short - there's probably just over 2cm clearance so you can only put thinner moulds in there. I wanted to put my geode coaster moulds in but they wouldn't go.~ the three interior trays are too flimsy - they're made of a lightweight plastic, and they don't really feel secure enough, especially on the top shelf. I would really have preferred a more solid surface to lay my moulds on, especially when they're weighed down with resin.~ the "lid" has a handle on top, but it's just formed plastic and juts out massively on the underside - it cuts into the already limited height on the top tray. I actually had the underside of the roof stick to something I was curing. I was able to pull it apart easily enough, but the thing I made was ruined. (I've attached a photo of the underside.)~ if you have issues with bubbles in your resin, this doesn't allow time for the bubbles to rise to the top and pop, so if you have microbubbles when you put your moulds in, you'll have microbubbles when you take your moulds out. Some resins are worse than others for bubbles, but if you depend on a slower curing time to release them, the Resiner isn't your friend. The Resiner doesn't help the resin to release bubbles *at all* - if anything it sets them in place.~ I did some experimenting and some were more successful than others. I don't generally work with dried flowers but it does get really hot (upwards of 65 degrees on AI mode) which super-heats the resin and could very easily burn delicate flowers. If I was selling what I made, I 100% wouldn't feel comfortable selling any flowers that looked a bit crispy around the edges. But for my coloured resin and my glittery resin, it worked really well. It's just worth bearing in mind depending on what you're putting in your resin.~ I'm very worried that it will make the resin yellow prematurely. Some resin brands are better for this than others, but heating resin (especially the hardener component) can hasten the yellowing process a lot, so where your resin brand may yellow after a year, over-heating it as it cures can cause it to yellow after a few months instead. It's too soon to tell if this will cause resin to yellow but, honestly, I can't see how it wouldn't. Resin curing is just a chemical process - it follows rules of chemistry, and early yellowing is a chemical reaction to artificially heating it. But if you use coloured resin a lot, this isn't an issue at all, and the Resiner would probably be perfect for you.So there you have it. I've still given it 4 stars because for my personal needs it's great! But it definitely has limited utility and it's not cheap so it's a bit of an investment. Hopefully this has been helpful to you if you've been unsure about whether to try it.Edit: it’s been another week and I’m taking a star away. The resiner absolutely destroys silicone molds - you would need to have access to a constant supply of new molds for this to be worth it. I’m only getting a few uses out of molds that would normally be reusable 30 or 40 times. So annoyed.Another edit: it’s now the end of June so I’ve been using it for about a month. You know how I mentioned the plastic trays are flimsy? Either down to flimsiness or poor construction they’re not even flat, so resin pools at one end of the mould while it’s curing making the cured item really uneven - one end is thick, and the other end is thin. Seriously, it just gets worse the more I use it.Last edit: sorry about all the edits, but the Resiner is just so frustrating. I was making something, and once again it cured wonky so I borrowed husband's level to see if I was just going nuts, and I took a couple of photos for you to see the problem. Each corner of each shelf leans to a different angle, and it's completely random - the angle of decline isn't uniform - meaning there's literally no way to compensate for it. It's so frustrating, and at the moment I feel like I wasted a lot of money on this. It's made it virtually unusable so this has pretty much been consigned to the attic. I'm so frustrated.

So far so good, definitely a massive game changer in the world of resin, literally a piece that would take me two days to complete due to the layers took me a little under 4 hours. So far my resin has come out level and looking fantastic. havent yet come across a single problem yet. I guess time will tell but so far this has to be the best think I've bought in a long time

Great item for curing resin. My daughter is very pleased with the ease of use. Only downside side is, my daughter will over fill her moulds., and the resin will drip onto the trays which can be difficult to clean fully

I bought this as I have no patience for resin to cure. I think it works better for 2 1/2 hours rather than recommended 2 hrs. It means I can take my work out of moulds and use the moulds again then let to harden properly for 24hrs.

I recently bought and used this device to make some Xmas gifts for the family and I came to the unfortunate situation to find that the plastic shelvings morph and bent upwards, tilting all my moulds sideways and almost causing an overflow. I ensured the settings on the device were done as directed and still this happened, I haven’t seen anyone complain this issue and I’m gutted to have spent the money on something that’s just ruined my families gifts.

This set is definitely better in quality and capacity then the original one. This one do not cave in the middle like the previous one and more importantly no lip in the middle preventing you to place bigger mold and as a bonus you can use hier mold on the trays.

I do resin keychains and I read a bunch of mixed reviews on this item before purchasing. I can have quite a few orders in one day and it’s difficult to wait 24-48 hrs for each item to dry before moving on to the next project. I needed something that would help me speed up the process. The instructions were pretty clear and easy to use. The cord is short but nothing an extension cord can’t fix. The description boasts a two hour dry. I’m here to say that is not true- at least for what I do. It takes about 4 hrs which is still great in my book. I’ll happily wait 4 hours vs 48. It’s def worth the buy.

These replacement trays have completely solved the issues I had with the first version release. They’re nice and sturdy and don’t warp the resin inside, they’re nice and deep and best of all, no raised sections to prevent larger palettes being used. I had to cut up my larger molds for the other trays. Love this little machine!

Machine works really well with small thin molds, everything is cured in about two hours. Can’t wait until the deeper trays are available. For future development, I would love to see adjustable legs for leveling and larger tray sizes so bigger pieces can be cured.

As a resin crafter I was skeptical this product would work as promised but I was shocked at how well it really does work. It takes projects that would normally take days of curing time to complete and turns them into finished pieces in just a matter of hours. The device is only designed for small molds but you can load several molds at time and cure dozens of jewelry pieces or other small items in just 2 hours instead of 18 to 24. I have even found that pieces I've cured in the machine are cured harder in 2 hours than ones from the same mold after 24 hours of normal curing. It is also really beneficial for those of us who deal with trying to cure resin in a cold or variable temperature environment - getting rid of amine-blush or the rippled surfaces these types of environments can cause on resin pieces. I highly recommend this to any resin crafter, but especially those who are producing items to sell. It really does dramatically reduce the time needed for items to cure in molds and gets your molds back into service quickly. I really hope that Resiners is planning to develop a larger model as I do a lot of larger, multi-layer art pieces that would be so much faster with this technology. Until then, this is a really fantastic and useful piece of equipment that most resin crafters will find more than worth the modest price.
