BrandonBrandon: READ INSTRUCTIONS... like at least 3 times. This product has a website with instructional videos- I would highly recommend finding those. They gave me directions I wasn’t expecting right at the last minute and they really saved me. The pictures show the plywood desk I built and coated with colored epoxy (this is a clear product you can color).
This product is great! But this is NOT for someone who has never done any kind of project before and thinks they can just throw it together and BOOM magic table. For ease of use- this is not an easy task, but I don’t believe any epoxy is ‘easy’. It takes a lot of time and effort to get it right and make sure it is in the right environment to cure correctly. I am not an experienced epoxy pourer but an avid carpenter and residential contractor and build a lot of furniture- the two pours alone took me about 8 hours
For the basics- yes, it’s a 1:1 ratio so hard to mess that up. If you are just wanting a clear coat on something simple and don’t care about edges... this is actually fairly simple.
My complications came from making two separate pieces at the same time (for a desk) and also wanting to color my epoxy.

Audrey: Good for large projects but not great for small crafts. I use this for resin crafts and it works as described. It’s very clear and easy to work with but the curing time takes too long for mass producing. Typically takes about two to three days to completely harden. It has more bubbles than other brands I’ve used but they are easy to pop with a small torch. For large products or if you don’t mind the wait, this is worth the money. You get the bang for your buck. I would not recommend it if you need faster turn around time though.

RiaRain: The media could not be loaded. Update: tons of bubbles but it did help to place the hardener and resin separately in warm water for a few minutes and work in a warm room. Still don’t have 45 minutes to work with but more than 20. You need to be prepared with all your colors before mixing. My coasters did come out good so I will try again. Not impressed with the amount of bubbles but using a heat gun as you work vs at the end helps a bit. And check them once finished every few minutes to catch a few that came to the top before it’s too hard. The price is great just seems finicky.
Original:Got hard extremely fast. TONS of bubbles even when gently stirred and super hard to get out. With my other resin I pour the extra into another mold like keychains or something small yet this resin was thick by the time I finished pouring my set of coasters maybe 20 mins. You better have exact measurements otherwise you will waste resin. I always keep some extra clear in case I need it to finish my coasters but can’t to that with this one. Not happy at all with this one. Won’t be buying again. Bought because it was cheaper but I can see I’ll be wasting resin with this one...

Wraith7n: If you do your research and read the directions and the tutorials and follow the directions this stuff is super easy to use. Easy to work with and does a great job coating surfaces. We purchased the 2 gallon, 1 gallon and 1/2 gallon sizes over the past year and they worked really well. The huge key here is follow the directions, you can't pour more than 1/8th inch at a time, if you want to do thicker then you have to do multiple coats because it'll heat up and ruin the project. Look up their website use their calculator to see how much you'll need for the area you are trying to cover. We did a 30x60x2 home made desktop and it turned out great. Do the seal coats first so you eliminate a lot of the bubbles. Use the heat gun/blowtorch to easily pop the bubbles. This is something you cannot skip over or you're project is going to look bad. I cannot stress enough how easy it is to work with if you follow the directions and watch some youtube tutorials. When doing the epoxy pours try to be in a clean as possible environment, as dust and hairs etc are going to show up. This stuff is pretty thick, thicker than honey, maybe on the molasses level. So when you pour it and spread it around it...
