UV Art Resin 1 Gallon - Crystal Clear Coating Table Top Epoxy Resin Kit with Superior Ultraviolet Resistant Hard Finish, Hand Casting, Perfect for DIYers, Jewelry Making, Home Décor

I love the Incredible Solutions Crystal Clear Table Top Resin so I was very excited to try the uv pro version! There were some differences. Here's what i've found.The major difference when working with this solution is when at room temperature this compared to the tabletop crystal clear resin was a bit thicker in consistency. I wasnt sure if this could be good or bad for jewelry making.Pros- The final product was crystal clear with little to no bubbles and looked beautiful!- I feel like this product came out stronger then the other formula but have not actually tested this theory. It just feels stronger to me- Works great with Mica Powders and Alcohol inks- The 2 part resin was easy to mix, easy to use, and turned out beautiful every time- Honestly I love both solutions and love that for a small amount more you can get better UV protection for your products. The fact I use it ti make jewelry and other products that might be exposed to the sun it will have much better protection and preserve its color!- It's one of the most affordable resins I have found and the quality for the price is amazingCons- When stirred quickly it causes way more bubbles (but even in projects where clear was used little too no bubbles were in the final product- When mixed with black alcohol ink I feel this solution didn't mix as well to create a true black even when mixed with black mica powder. It turned an awesome dark green. Although not the desired reaction it was really awesome to use- Because the solution is thicker when glitters are added it can make it to thick to pour well for smaller projects. Would still work great for larger ones!Overall I love this product just as much as the other! I only buy this brand. Which solution you get would just depend on what projects you wish to use it for. I recommend this to all my friends just getting started in resin or some who have already been into resin quite a bit! Worth every penny!

UV PRO is a terrific epoxy. I can say that confidently. I have never used epoxy on a table top, so this was my first effort. Epoxy takes a lot of practice and i practiced with filling cracks and glue-ups. However, this was my first table top coat. UV Pro mixed perfectly, cured hard in 6 hours, and resulted in a glassy, smooth, hard, level finish. It is designed perfectly for table tops and the result is amazing. I am impressed with the epoxy, the directions, and the company (Incredible Solutions) who answered many of my questions and helped me through the exercise.That all said, working with epoxy is a significant challenge and my table is still a work in progress. First, all cracks in the tabletop need to be filled and then leveled (with sanding). If they are not, epoxy runs down into the crack and leaves a "canyon" in the top finish. I spent months filling cracks and still wasn't able to fill all the pinholes and cracks. Therefore, i'd recommend that any user who is finishing old, thick wood, take steps to pre-finish the table to fill cracks and prevent bubbling. Incredible Solutions provides guidance here. Second, i wasn't able to pop all the bubbles. This was a function of the lack of pre-finish mentioned in my first point, i think, and not the epoxy. I used a heat gun to pop bubbles which was effective, but i have some en trained bubbles that i'm repairing. So, I have some work to do yet to prep the fist coat for the second, finish coat, but I am confident that it is going to turn out well given that the epoxy itself results in such a fine finish. I plan to update!

I’m an resin artist and to have the right protection for art is very important to me. This resin doesn’t turn yellow over time. It had the best uv protection. It’s definitely a 5 star.

The UV Pro resin is great stuff ... IF ... it matches the type of project you are working on ... and IF you can follow simple directions. The UV Pro is much thicker than other resins, which is exactly why I buy and use it for my projects. It is also much more heat resistant, another need of my projects. Because it is thicker it does tend to get more bubbles when mixing. However, those bubbles can be mitigated using any standard resin procedure to get rid of bubbles. If you are looking for a thinner resin for pouring into small jewelry molds or fine detail layered molds - UV Pro is not for you. If you are unable to follow simple directions or unable to mix/stir properly - UV Pro is not for you. This stuff has virtually no smell and I have yet to have any skin reaction to it, and I have very sensitive skin. The reviews calling UV Pro “crap” and “garbage” and “don’t buy” are ludicrous. If you can’t follow directions, if you don’t do your research on general resin procedures to handle bubbles, if you don’t do research to purchase a resin that is compatible with your projects, that is on YOU, not the product and not the folks who make the product. If you want a product that you can just mix any way you want in any conditions you want, then go on WISH and buy one of the toxic solutions from China; the money you save buying that toxic mess can be spent at your Oncologist.

I have been using both of Incredible Solutions' Epoxies - the regular and the UV. They both are great products. I coat as well as do some casting for some coaster molds (I keep the pour at 1/8" per layer) and the epoxy has been flawless in both cases. As long as I keep the room at about 75 degrees, I have a working time of about 45 minutes give or take. I do not give the resin warm baths, but I have not had any issues with bubbles thus far as long as I appropriately torch the resin and keep my pours at the recommended thickness. I will probably use the UV the most as I'm more concerned with my art fading over time, but both are great choices so far.Nice to work with. Great viscosity. Great working time. Minimal bubbles. Cures hard. Great results.

Great product. I wish fast cure would also ship to Germany.
