2:1 Super Clear Epoxy Resin (8Hrs)

The CRYSTALROCK 2:1 Super Clear Epoxy Resin is a great choice for art and tabletop projects. Made for coating and artistic uses, this resin is safe for home use and non-toxic when properly cured. It’s simple to mix and dries to a clear, glossy finish, making it perfect for many creative projects.

Key Features:

• Quick Curing Time: Dries in 8 hours, perfect for quick projects.
• Complete Curing Time: Fully cures in 24 hours, ready for sanding, cutting, and polishing.
• Easy Measurement and Mixing: Measure by weight or volume with a hardener tolerance of -10% to +50%. For best results, use a precise 2:1 ratio.
• Durable and Clear Finish: Best for thinner layers (less than 1/4 inch). It cures to a high-gloss, scratch-resistant, and UV-resistant finish. Its clarity and self-leveling ensure a smooth, glass-like surface.
• High Efficiency: Fast curing time allows for multiple pieces to be made quickly.

The hardener in this epoxy resin is cycloaliphatic-based, offering:

• Excellent Chemical Resistance: Ensures long-lasting durability.
• Mechanical Strength: Provides strong structural support.
• High-Temperature Resistance: Suitable for high-temperature applications.
• Good Electrical Insulation: Great for electrical projects.
• UV Resistance: Prevents yellowing and degradation from UV light.

Super Clear Epoxy Resin Applications:

• Doming Resins: Ideal for epoxy tumblers, tabletops, and jewelry. The surface tension creates a smooth, domed finish.
• Small Castings: Perfect for small items like earrings, pendants, and key tags.
• Coating Artwork: Great for coating paintings and other DIY art projects.
• Coating Surfaces: Perfect for countertops, bar tops, and tables, giving them a hard, protective, glossy coating.
• Artwork: Enhances and preserves artistic pieces.

Most Common Uses: This resin is commonly used for making earrings, pendants, key tags, coasters, coastal/sea-themed art, resin art bottles, resin pouring art, coating paintings, and sealing wood. It’s also used for waterproofing and tabletop coating.

Not Recommended For: Avoid using this epoxy resin for large resin objects, river tables, or flower preservation castings.

Important Note:

1. When mixing, do not mix more than 150g at a time. The resin heats up due to the exothermic reaction, and large quantities can harden too quickly, reducing quality, causing yellowing, or even catching fire.
2. This resin has a higher viscosity, meaning air bubbles may not release in time due to fast curing.
3. UV Resistance: While this epoxy resin is UV-resistant, clear castings without tint might develop a slight yellow tint over time with UV exposure.

2:1 Crystal Clear Epoxy Resin (12Hrs)

The 2:1 Crystal Clear Epoxy Resin is perfect for art projects, coating tabletops, and making small castings. It's non-toxic when used correctly and easy to mix. This resin dries crystal clear with a glossy finish, ideal for paintings, artwork, and other DIY projects. Its low-bubble formula ensures a smooth finish but avoid using it on rainy days or in high humidity, as this can cause a waxy or oily layer called amine blush on the cured resin.

Key Features:

• Quick Curing Time: Can be demolded in just 12 hours.
• Complete Curing Time: Ready for sanding, cutting, and polishing in 2-3 days.
• Easy Measurement and Mixing: Must be measured by volume (milliliters) with a hardener tolerance of ±5%.
• Durable and Clear Finish: Ideal for thinner pours (less than 1/4 inch per layer), resulting in a high-gloss, scratch-resistant finish. Its clarity and self-leveling properties ensure a smooth, glass-like surface.

Applications:

•     Small Castings: Perfect for making earrings, pendants, and key tags.
•     Coating Artwork: Great for coating paintings and other DIY epoxy art projects.
•     Coating Surfaces: Ideal for countertops, bar tops, and tables, providing a hard, glossy, protective finish.

•     Tabletop coating, wood sealing, waterproofing

Not Recommended For: Avoid using this resin for large objects, river tables, or flower preservation castings.
Important Considerations:

• Mixing Limit: Do not mix more than 300g at once. The exothermic reaction can cause the resin to heat up, leading to rapid hardening, reduced quality, yellowing, or even fire hazards.
• UV Resistance: This resin is not UV resistant and may develop a slight yellow tint over time with UV exposure.

• Avoid High Humid & low temperature.

2:1 ULTRA CLEAR Epoxy Resin (Deep Pour/Slow Curing)

Deep pour epoxy is ideal for thick layers, up to 2 inches or more in one go. Its slow curing process allows gradual heat release, reducing the risk of overheating and cracking. This clear epoxy resin can be tinted with pigments and is used for making large solid items like epoxy river tables, flower preservation castings, and other big furniture items. Its low viscosity helps it flow into detailed mold parts and easily release bubbles, making it perfect for deep pours.

Key Features:

• Curing Time: Demolds in 72 hours.
• Complete Curing Time: Ready for sanding, cutting, and polishing in 7-10 days.
• Easy Measurement and Mixing: Must be measured by weight (grams) with a hardener tolerance of ±2% for accuracy.
• Durable and Clear Finish: Ideal for thicker pours (typically less than 2 inches per layer), curing to a high-gloss, bubble-free finish. Its clarity and self-leveling properties ensure a smooth, glass-like surface.

Applications:

• Large Castings: Ideal for large projects like river tables, coasters/trays, and big objects.
• Flower Preservation Castings: Perfect for preserving flowers in large castings.

Common Uses: Deep pour epoxy is great for making river tables, thick castings, and embedding objects within the resin. It’s also used for creating large, clear castings with minimal bubbles.

Not Recommended For: Small castings such as earrings, pendants, key tags, or coating tabletops, doming, or urgent artwork.

Important Considerations:

• Mixing Limit: Can mix more than 2kg of resin at once (over 1kg should be poured immediately after mixing).
• Slow Curing: Not recommended for small or medium-sized castings. Pieces may be bendy even after 72 hours but will fully harden within 7 days.
• Measurement: Must be measured by weight, not volume, to ensure proper curing.
• Handling: After pouring, the resin will be like soft gel after 6 hours. Keep the artwork still for at least 48 hours to avoid marks on the surface.
• Sealing Embedded Items: Seal items like flowers, wood, paper, or photos before embedding them in the resin to prevent ink or dye from mixing with the resin.
• UV Resistance: The epoxy resin has medium UV resistance. Clear castings without tint may develop a slight yellow tint over time with UV exposure.

Bangningsi UV RESIN (Hard)

UV-cured resin is a special type of resin that gets hard when it's under ultraviolet light. People often use it for things like making jewelry. They pour the resin into a mold, then put it under a special lamp to make it harden quickly. One of the best things about UV-cured resin is how fast it hardens, sometimes in just a few minutes. This makes it really popular with crafters because it's so easy to use.

Key Features:

• Quick Hardening: It hardens instantly under a UV Lamp (how fast it hardens depends on how strong the UV light is).
• No Need for Measuring or Mixing.
• Clear Finish: It looks great for thin layers (usually less than 2mm thick), and it gets really shiny when it's done.

Applications:

• Making Small Things: You can use it to make small stuff like earrings or pendants.
• Coating Surfaces: It's good for putting a thin layer on things like polymer clay.

Common Uses: Earrings, studs, things made with wires, small pendants.

Important Things to Think About:

• Pour Thin Layers: It works best if you pour thin layers (less than 2mm thick). If you need thicker layers, it's better to do it in stages.
• Use the Right Colors: Some colorings might not work well with UV resin. It's best to test them first.
• Be Careful with Alcohol Ink: Most types don't work well with UV resin, so test them before using them.
• Work Quickly: Once it's under the UV light, it starts hardening right away. This means you have less time to work with it compared to other resins.
• Need UV Light: It needs UV light to harden, so you might need a special lamp for it.
• Hardening Might Not Be Even: Sometimes, parts of the resin might not harden properly if the light doesn't reach them evenly.
• Not as Strong as Some Resins: It might not be as tough against things like heat, scratches, or chemicals.
• Can Turn Yellow: Over time, it might turn yellow if it's exposed to sunlight a lot.
• Be Safe: You need to be careful when using it. Avoid getting it on your skin or in your eyes, and make sure you have good ventilation because the fumes can be harmful.
