Smallbudi 1 Gallon Epoxy Resin Kit with Cups, Silicone Sticks & Gloves, Crystal Clear Resin Beginner Supplies for Coating and Casting, Molds, Jewelry Making, Wood Table, DIY Art Craft, 1:1 Ratio

This is our 4 th set of resin, due to the high cost we keep an eye out for sales so have bought different brands. They all work the same, one isnt better or worse, mix A and B well and pour into molds. This set. Comes with a few extra supplies which is nice and helps to keep things built up. I use silicone molds so things set over night and are easily removed. 4 star only because of the high cost.

I waited a while after using this, to see if it would yellow in the sun like some epoxy does after only a few days. This did not. It is still as crystal clear as it was when mixing. It does handle alcohol ink very well, although, I added a bit too much and it did try separating some, so there is a slight indent here and there in the layer I did. This is my own fault and nothing wrong with the epoxy itself, and truthfully, I was intently looking for flaws or I would not have ever noticed this. I left this on my turner for 6hrs, as it has a demolding time of 8hrs, and similar too another brand I have used prior. Without instructions specific to how long between coats, I sort of set it and forgot it. It was plenty cured after 6 hrs for me to stop the turner, but, I honestly cannot state whether it might have been able to be turned off sooner, as I never checked. This was such a simple epoxy to use, and I had very limited issues with bubbles, but, I did use this on a tumbler, not in a mold, and the two are different methods of use. This is actually the second set of epoxy I ordered from them, and I used the first one, but they are the exact same product, just different sizes. I had a good feeling about this when I ordered the first time so I ordered this one before I ever used it. I am glad I did. If for nothing else, it is a great option for tumbler making. Even when they say epoxy is VOC free, and generally safe, I still wear protective equipment when using, so I cannot really comment on if it had too strong of an odor or not. I could not smell it coming through the door of my work area afterwards, so I do believe it does have a limited smell if it has much of one at all. Overall, I will use this in its entirety, and feel confident it will be a good choice for molds as well. I only did one layer on my tumbler so far, and having used chunky glitter, it has a pretty smooth surface. It definitely locks in glitter and colors. So far, very happy. If it falls below a 5 star at any time, I will come back to update. But so far, this is one I would order again.

I am no expert at Epoxy work but i have always been curious about how it would take my decor business to the next level if only I could learn to use it will. So after endless hours of YouTubve education, i decide to dabble with it and got this kit to try. I chose the biggest size cos I knew i would screw up many times till I get the hang of things but enough about me. This epoxy set is extremely easy to use. The instructions are very detailed. As expected, I screwed up many times till i got the hang of it. Some very important things to remember (and its also included in the instructions) is to makke sure you use equal portions of the 2 liquids, stir slowly and MOST IMPORTANTLY maintain the solutions at room temperature or slightly warmer. The last step is the one I messed up a few times. I mixed the solutions in my basement in winter which caused a LOT of bubbles. Completely my fault for not reading the instructions clearly.Once i figured thigs out, i have to say, this epoxy kit kicked butt! The epoxy cured in about 10hours and it blew my mind. It looks breathtaking. There was no discoloration and it made the colors of my Christmas Ornaments pop and gave it an expensive and premium look and feel. I absolutely loved learning to work with epoxy with this kit. I 100% recommend this set for epoxy users of all experience levels.

This is one of the most complete epoxy resin kits that I have used. It comes with a generous supply of two-part epoxy resin, along with two silicone mixing sticks (I really like these!), 8 measuring cups, a couple of disposable tablecloths and even a disposable apron. In addition, there are two durable plastic scrapers, 5 pipettes, and 10 disposable gloves. The instructions are good and very clear. The only thing that was not perfect is that half of the measuring cups were cracked in shipping, but a little packing tape on the outside fixed it where they were usable. The resin does not have a smell while using it, and I have been pleased with the results.

I would still consider myself new to resin. I made some dice with this and they turned out really well. The directions are pretty clear and the kit came with pretty much everything you could need for a project. My only wish, would be for it to have had some tint powder or something I could use to add to it since it is a kit for beginners. I knew it when i got it so not counting off for it, just make sure you know that it doesnt come with any colorant.all around, happy and would recommend

Great epoxy! Been loving this particular brand.

I received the one gallon epoxy resin kit. This resin is mixed in 1:1 ratio by volume. The instructions say to mix for 4-5 minutes using the regular method for mixing resin, which I did. The mixture thickened up towards the end of the mixing time. There was very low odor. I mixed both fine and chunky glitters and also mica into the resin and then poured the entire 13 oz. at once into a bowl mold so I'm not sure of the overall length of the working time for this resin yet. I did not use a mold release agent. There were no issues at all with bubbles and I did not need to use a torch. I allowed the bowl to sit for 24 hours before demolding, just to ensure it kept it's shape. The resin had cured to a good strength at 24 hours and there was no bending or misshaping at all during demolding. I left the bowl just sit for another 24 hours and the bowl was solid and well cured. They included quite a few mixing aids and protective gear which is exactly as shown in the ad. This Smallbudi epoxy resin is easy to use, low odor, low bubbles, and cures hard. It's very economical and I would definitely buy this brand again.
