LET'S RESIN UV Resin Kit with Light, 200g Crystal Clear UV Glue

Perfect starter kit with a good UV lamp and decent amount of resin. The little silicone jugs are a super little bonus - I doubt I'll need to use them for UV resin, but I'm already using them a lot for measuring and mixing small amounts of non-UV resin to make sure the quantities are close to equal. I don't make jewellery, but do a lot of what I call resin engineering where I make prototypes of various kinds, and a mostly use non-UV resin for that, sometimes with embedded reinforcement, but I often need to build moulds out of tape, thin strips or sheets of resin (made on a silicone mat) and superglue before filling them up with normal resin. I'm now using this UV resin instead of the tape and superglue, and it makes the work far neater, faster, orders of magnitude less prone to leaks, while there's no tape getting left behind my mistake being covered by subsequent layers. This resin only needs ten to twenty seconds of UV light to stop it running around, so it's rally practical for this work, and it also sets just as fast using a small UV torch that came with a different product. This has transformed the way I work, and just in the last few days it's saved me many hours of fighting leaks in moulds; indeed, it sets fast enough that a slow leak can be wiped clean and then a drop or UV resin put on it (even from below) and given a quick blast of UV light, and that's it sealed. Be aware if you're buying this kit that you may get a different lamp from the one you're expecting - if you read the small print when clicking through the images at the top you'll see the two different lamps, and you'll get one of those selected randomly, so it's intended as a surprise. I happened to get the one that suits my work better, but the other one would still have been fine. I'd also recommend wearing sunglasses with full UV protection when working with a UV light - I didn't do so to begin with, but felt an odd pain in one eye several times when running the lamp, and I never looked at any of the LEDs while they were lit, so it was just reflected UV light. I work all night and don't see a lot of daylight, so I may be more sensitive to this than normal people, and bright sky hurts my eyes too, but this isn't something you should take any chances with - I'm being extra cautious because my father has developed macular degeneration.

i bought this resin to coat air dry clay projects to protect them it did the job of that nicely, the lamp was easy to use and the resin was easy to apply great value for money there's a lot of safety precautions needed when dealing with uv resin which didn't make the experience enjoyable but the results were fantastic

Great little starter kit. Does what it says on the tin .

Overall, this is a good value kit as you get a lot in the pack. I normally use epoxy resin but at this time of year (January) it's difficult to work with as the house is cold, which makes the resin sluggish to pour and slow to cure. So, I thought I'd give UV resin a try and see if that improves things for some of my smaller makes. I chose this set because it includes a light, which I didn't already have. This is very useful, though very small - no use for larger moulds. While the resin is sticky if you get it on your hands, it's nowhere near as sticky as epoxy resin - a quick wash of my hands with soap afterwards did the trick. Something I hadn't considered until I read the instructions in the box is you are discouraged from mixing alcohol inks and mica powders directly into the resin, as this makes it harder for the light to pass through and cure the resin. What I had to do was pour and cure a very thin layer of resin, then brush it with mica powder and then pour and cure a second layer. I was thus able to achieve a coloured/glittery effect, though in my opinion not as nice as I would have achieved with epoxy with the colour mixed in. You can pour and cure thicker moulds (like the 'crystal ball' in my photos) - to achieve this, I filled the mould roughly halfway with the resin, cured it, tipped in a couple of scoops of glitter, then topped it up with resin and cured it again. For a mould this thick it took a lot of longer sessions under the lights before the resin fully cured. While UV resin is a lot faster to cure than epoxy, I am so far finding that its uses are more limited than they are with epoxy, unless you invest in some pre-coloured UV resin (and so far I've only found very few of these sold on Amazon). UV is certainly not going to replace epoxy for the majority of my projects, but for small things that would take a long time to cure with epoxy I will probably carry on with the UV resin. Worth noting as well that measured by the gram, if you use a decent brand such as Let's Resin, UV is about twice the price of epoxy so that's another reason not to fully switch! There is a smell to this resin which is not very pleasant, but it is resin after all so a smell is to be expected - it's no worse than epoxy for smell.

Just cannot beat Let’s resin tried some cheaper ones but not worth the money I paid. Stick to what you know lesson for me.

First time I have brought these n I had fun doing 3 different pictures n they came out great. The resin kit was great you get all what you need to start with, great price too.

Not really a starter kit as it has no mold to start with. The UV lamp is VERY small. The silicone mat is small (about A5 size) and was crushed up to get it in the tiny box and even after a week of it lying flat under a heavy book I was unable to get it to lay flat. However the silicone itself was not bad, prone to bubbles but nothing a long necked lighter couldn't deal with in the most part.

Purchased as a top up to existing kit. As expected, good quality, arrived in good time.

UV resin is one of my new favorite hobbies and this kit is to blame. (It's been over 6 months and my ADHD brain has not moved on from it... It's a keeper!) Honestly I only bought this kit because I desperately needed a cheap UV lamp and FAST. I did one of those Rainbow High doll crafts with my daughter that contain resin and the light they provided just wasn't strong enough no matter how long we tried to cure it, and it was the middle of winter, not a lot of sun to help either. But I'm so happy that happened because before my only experience was with slow curing epoxy resin, and that really limited what I could do with this medium. This kit unlocked a world of possibilities for me. With this kit I can make really intricate designs by curing as I go, securing little areas in place with only a few seconds of UV. That could be said of any working UV resin materials of course, but this was the perfect combination of starter items. I use the provided silicone tools constantly, clean up is a breeze now. I don't have to use as many disposable cups and such. Just cure anything extra and throw it out. The little scoop and pointy tools are GAME CHANGERS for real. Love the silicone mat way more than I thought I would too, sometimes I use resin to fix random things that hot glue isn't strong enough for, and it's the perfect thing to catch any mess. I'm serious, this kit saved our cheap plastic banana stand from the landfill lol. It is of course, quite a messy craft in general, and potentially hazardous. Uncured resin is not healthy to touch or inhale. Something I've learned is that if you get resin on your skin the correct thing to get it off is actually oil. Like, cooking oil, vegetable oil. Then use dish soap to wash that off. But really, do your best not to actually come in contact with it. I've heard of people developing allergies with severe reactions over time. A very slight issue I've had, and ymmv, is that often I still need to let stuff cure in the sun after using the UV lamp to get rid of any leftover tackiness. But this is just part of the routine for me now, and it takes far less time than waiting for epoxy resin to dry, I'm not going to complain too much. Not even worth docking a star. I usually do it outside but even a windowsill works a lot of the time, where I leave stuff overnight because I often work at night. Sometimes it's fully cured when I wake up in the morning. Do your research before starting this craft. Watch some YouTube videos and really understand what you're getting into. Once you know it's super easy, but there's little nuances that are better explained by demonstration. For example, you MUST use clear silicone molds designed for use wit UV resin. You have to cure both sides before demolding it or it gets all weird. Little stuff like that. Don't be caught off guard and get disappointed because of something small you didn't know. Also remember not every single attempt will come out perfectly, but that can be said of any art form. I love this product. It changed my life and I don't say that lightly lol. Up in my top 5 favorite hobbies now. It has really upped my jewelry making game because now I can really say I made it myself, I didn't just attach a premade charm to a hook. Maybe any UV kit would do the trick, but this is the one I bought and it has been FANTASTIC. Second best thing I ever bought for crafting besides my sewing machine. Yay!

Perfecto para empezar con resina, no cubre capas en impresión 3D, endurecedor rápido con la luz UV, prendí varias veces la luz UV y No errar y tener un secado Perfecto, en las fotos diferencia sin resina y con resina, estoy creado unos porta vasos en forma de fotos Polaroid de elefantes

Let's Resin has some great products for the resin enthusiast. Aside from that, they've thought to put together a perfect starter kit for those who wish to try out using UV resin. This kit does it all. Excellent and well written instructions and a very substantial amount of UV resin which can be on the costly side. You don't need to look anywhere but here for the perfect starter kit.

Total süßes Set, und super um mit Resin zu beginnen. Beeinhaltet waren wie in der Beschreibung: zwei Tuben resin, eine Silikonunterlage, eine kleine UV Lampre (ca. Handteller groß) und zwei kleine Silikonschalen mit Spatel. Der Resin riecht natürlich ein wenig chemisch aber das ist zu erwarten. Ich finde der Geruch hält sich in Grenzen. Die Lampe kommt mit einem kleinen USBC Kabel mitgeliefert. Das Resin ist allerdings flüssiger als ich dachte, was allerdings eher an meiner unerfahrenheit mit Resin liegt. Getrocknet ist es gut fest (ich nutze es zur herstellung von Schmuck. z.B. zum Ösen an Anhänger zu kleben). Alles in allem eine Kaufempfehlung meinerseits

Good to get this set for beginner but I really dislike the strong after smell.
