Question 1

I’m a beginner, and I see this is a 2:1 mixing ratio. Is that hard to get right, and can I use it for a thick tabletop pour?**

Accepted Answer

The 2:1 ratio is by volume, so it’s fairly straightforward—two parts resin to one part hardener. It’s not inherently hard, but accuracy is key. We **strongly recommend using graduated mixing cups and a digital scale** (converting to grams) for the best results. However, for *thick* pours like tabletops (over 1 inch), this resin is **not the ideal choice**. It’s best suited for shallow projects like jewelry, coasters, or small art pieces, where it self-levels beautifully. For thick pours, you’d want a dedicated deep-pour resin.

Question 2

Is the 4-hour demold time actually realistic, or is that just in perfect conditions?**

Accepted Answer

Many TikTok reviewers have tested this, and the 4-hour demold time is accurate for **thin pours** (around 1/4 inch) at a consistent room temperature of **75°F (24°C)**. If your workspace is cooler or you’re pouring a thicker layer (around 1/2 inch), expect it to take closer to 6–8 hours before it’s safe to touch without leaving a mark. It cures fully in 72 hours. Always check the surface with a gloved fingertip first—if it’s tacky, give it more time.

Question 3

Will this resin turn yellow over time? I’m planning to use it for jewelry that will be near a window.**

Accepted Answer

This resin is formulated with UV stabilizers to resist yellowing, and for indoor use, it performs well. However, no standard epoxy is 100% immune to UV damage. If the jewelry is in **direct sunlight for several hours daily**, you might notice a slight amber tint after a few months. To protect your work, we recommend adding a UV-resistant topcoat spray or keeping the piece out of harsh direct light when storing.

Question 4

I’ve seen videos mentioning bubbles. Do I need a pressure pot to get completely clear results?**

Accepted Answer

You don’t need a pressure pot, but you should manage your expectations. For thin pours, using a heat gun or a long-stemmed lighter **immediately** after pouring will pop surface bubbles easily. The "bubble-free" claim primarily refers to this ease of release in shallow pours. For deeper molds, 3D shapes, or if you’re getting bubbles from mixing too vigorously, a pressure pot is the only way to guarantee zero internal bubbles. Slow, careful stirring for 3 minutes will also minimize them naturally.

Question 5

I received my kit and the resin looks cloudy or crystallized. Is it defective?**

Accepted Answer

Cloudiness or crystallization usually means the resin got **cold during shipping**. This isn’t a defect—it’s simply how epoxy reacts to low temperatures. To fix it, place the sealed bottles in a warm water bath (around 100°F) for 20–30 minutes until the liquid looks clear again. Do **not** microwave it. If it doesn’t clear up, please contact our support team with your order number and a photo; we’ll gladly send a replacement or process a refund. We offer a 30-day hassle-free return policy.
