2TH UV Resin 500g

The previous formula was pretty good, this new one is even better.It cures fast, hard and clear.Take Note:-For very best results, use a 365nm Black light/torch.A 395nm torch WILL cure the resin, but needs a lot more exposure and the results can be a little tacky.When you use a 365nm torch, the difference is night and day, the resin cures quickly and sets hard immediately. You should also be aware of two things.. If you're making something substantial, lay the resin down in layers, so that the UV light can penetrate and do its thing, secondly be aware that the curing process creates a lot of heat, so give it time to cool each time. (So much heat in fact, that I've seen it melt plastic moulds)..Bubbles.the very best way to remove bubbles is with a vacumn chamber, but if your hobby allowance doesn't stretch to that.. using a sharp needle to pop them is one method, and running a naked flame (quickly) over the resin surface is another very effective way to remove them.Used properly, this resin is both cost effective and will give you good results. :)Edit:- Well, I don't know whats happened, but something has changed with this resin. As seen above, it used to be very effective. 5-10 seconds under the U/V and it would be rock hard. But this latest batch is nothing like what I've previously bought. It hardens eventually, but needs at least 30 seconds under the lamp/torch and even then is very tacky to the touch.2 stars removed, and I'll be looking for a new brand.

I do not understand the bad reviews. This resin dries on my window sill with no UV lamp.stronger the light, the quicker it sets .mica colours work best but have had good success with liquid colours .the finished product only became slightly tacky once but in a very damp day so I covered the filled mold with a sheet of acetate and this solved the issue .Vey little bubbling and a quick blast from my heat gun brings them to the surface .will buy again

I've tried loads of different uv resin. This one is the best. Don't get any air bubbles, completely clear. It's been brilliant for all my resing models I make. I'll be ordering alot more

I've used Vida Rosa 100g bottles and had no issues, So I decided to purchase the 500g bottle as I use it so much.... wrong move! I dont know what's happened to the product but it just doesn't cure properly!!Remained sticky despite curing for usual time and trying extended time! Also developed pits in the layer whilst under the UV light ruining the piece I had been working on for 2 days! I tried the alcohol trick to remove the sticky residue but it removed the whole layer of the UV resin I had just tried to cure!Really disappointed 😞Returned for refund as its not fit for purpose.

--AMENDED REVIEW--After looking at similar products to this resin, it is possible that you are ONLY meant to use LED-UV lights to cure this resin, NOT UV LAMPS!!! The new formula increases the curing temperature (that caused my moulds to burn/melt) making it cure faster. If you use a UV-LAMP, they are too strong and cause the resin to heat up even more. LED-UV lights have a much lower Wattage and are better suited to the new formula. Sadly, the specific use of LED-UV lights wasn't stipulated in the description, otherwise I would have used the correct lights to cure my pieces.Lesson learned (the hard way), but this is still a quality product for the price when used with the right tools! ^_~--Original Review--Okay, I'm not slamming this product because it's great... for doming. And that is what I will use it for as it is indeed crystal clear with no bubbles. Excellent!However... I used this just once in a transparent UV resin mould (that I have used with other resins with no issue) and it burned the mould. One use. More intricate parts of the mould also fused to the resin pieces. So I have what would have been beautiful resin pieces (no shrinkage, no stickiness, no warping) that sadly have bits of the silicone mould fused to them and a mould with chunks missing... I'm now going to have to replace that mould and find another UV resin for casting.I have a feeling that the formula changes that make this the amazing resin that it is mean that the temperature it gets to while curing is what is burning/fusing my moulds.As I said, it's NOT A BAD PRODUCT! It'd be great for doming. I just won't be using it in moulds again.

It’s a bit on the pricey side but well worth the money. I always buy this brand and never had any problems with it. It’s especially good for large moulds.

This resin is fantastic. I make polymer clay earrings and I coat them with resin for an extra gloss or to encapsule glitters, etc.I'm impressed on how good this product is.I cure my pieces under my 48W LED lamp for 7 minutes and the result is fantastic.No stickiness if you allow a minute or two after curing to cool down so I can start connecting the earring pieces.I can not give 6 stars but I would if I could.Just ordered my second bottle.Large amount of resin at affordable price.

The media could not be loaded. It is not curing once adds micro powder and I only used the smallest amount. Must have been a bad batch I got, as I have been using this a while and doesn’t seem to want to cure for me once pigment or micro powder is added . So annoying . Now Xmas gifts are in the bin
