TotalBoat 200g UV Cure Clear Acrylic Resin Kit with UV Flashlight for DIY Jewelry Making, Crafts, and Protective Coatings

This is a solid product. It cures clear and it's very easy to use. I believe for a project I was doing that was about 10x10x2mm, the cure time was a matter of seconds - not minutes. As I said, this dries extremely clear. Any bubbles will be visible! You get what you pay for though and TotalBoat delivered! Oh - and they also give you a UV flashlight as well. Downside is that it requires batteries! TotalBoat - package it with a USB chargeable light!

You might as well throw the included flashlight directly into the garbage. It feels cheaply made and I never got it to work. I used a different, larger light that I bought separately. The resin itself is great! I've used to for a year and, so far, doesn't seem like it might be prone to yellowing. I make doll eyes, and the resin has held up to dropping and being handled. Bubbles are easy to remove with a tooth pick. For my needs, I put the resin in a smaller container and use a tool to apply. It's easier to use this way. This helps a lot to eliminate bubbles entirely. Pouring directly from bottle always created bubbles. Putting some in a container (with a lid) and leaving it to sit will allow them to rise to the top and disappear. You can also use a heat gun, but this will make the resin runnier until it cools. In my photo, this resin was used to dome the eye, coat it, and also to add mica to the pupil (which was a ball I covered in resin, rolled in mica, then cured). You can see it's very clear and doesn't have yellow tone at all. I've tried several brands and a variety of prices, and this one is still my favorite.

The only beef I have about this resin, is the cost. But you get what you pay for. I absolutely love this resin. It works awesome, cures quickly with UV, is nice and clear (even after curing), and I haven’t noticed any yellowing (as of yet). Its odor is minimal, clear, bonds wells, with minimal bubbles and warping. It does bubble if you pour too thick, so make sure not to pour anything thicker than 1mm. If you need to go thicker, cure in layers for best results. The UV resin cures well, cures hard but slightly flexible, but slightly brittle and will snap easily. It will also chip off surfaces, so ensure you prepare the surface of anything you’re wanting it to adhere to. Another problem I have with this product is that the UV light it comes with is garbage. Mine quit working within the first 24 hours. I didn’t even make it through half the bottle of resin. The UV LED bulbs of the light just slowly became dim and wouldn’t be as bright. Eventually, it got to the point where it wouldn’t even cure the resin anymore. I tried many troubleshooting steps to try and fix the light, including replacing the batteries, and even the battery carrier (the black insert that the batteries go into, in order to fit inside the light and hit the electrical contacts of the light), and finally I attached the contacts of the light directly to a DC power supply. However, nothing I did would bring life back to the light and cure the the resin. So I did end up buying a $40 Rechargeable UV Curing Flashlight on Amazon. I do wish TotalBoat would make this resin available without the flashlight, as I’d like to buy more, but I don’t need their cheap-crappy light. This is partly why I mentioned starting with a different, cheaper resin. So you can iron out these mistakes, without wasting such expensive resin. I compared this resin to: Osbang UV Cure Resin (Found on Amazon) In finality: I would not recommend this product to someone starting out with UV resin projects, because of the cost. There are cheaper UV resins out there that are fairly cheap, but not quite as good. Use those while you are starting out. You don’t need this expensive, quality UV resin to make mistakes, and learn from them. I do recommend this product to anyone needing a quick curing resin, or someone who’s used to working with resin or resin crafting. I would recommend this to glue two things together, but ONLY if you’re using this as a secondary source of attachment (Meaning, glue the two things together using something like Gorilla glue, and using the UV resin to hold them together while the glue cures).

This resin cures quickly with the included UV light and remains clear. We used the resin to repair a broken stained glass window which gets plenty of sunlight ... no yellowing. Be aware that the resin flows freely and will stop through cracks. Physical control is important.

Does what it says. Been experimenting making lures for fishing waters in and around Fl, Al, and GA. It has more uses as well. Follow the instructions (gloves, don't breathe the fumes, etc.) And have fun

Heard only good things about totalboat have not tried the resin yet but the flashlight came defective. Missing a spring for one of the AAA batteries so it doesnt seat into the holder properly and even when I hold or tape it in place it doesn't turn on very poor quality flashlight. Definetly don't buy it thinking you will get a useable or quality flashlight but wether the resin is good remains to be determined

I haven’t quite mastered this stuff yet, but I’m sure I will before the bottle is empty. Might want to order a little bit bigger bottle and practice before you put it on anything that you 3-D printed. It always seems bubbles come out after the top has already set. The flashlight is worthless. Just take it outside and set it in the sun and be cured in 15 minutes. I didn’t notice any smell. It’s ultra clear looks beautiful fun to play with easy to use if I ever figure out the bubbles.

The UV flashlight didn't work😕. The resin seems to be good, but without a uv flashlight you have to weight for the RVs from the sun to cure it and that defeats the whole point of this resin. I bought from totalboat because the sell epoxy products and people love them so I figured that there UV resin is probably awesome but apparently resin is the only thing they're good at😑 Total boat why would you guys put you name on this? It leaves a bad impression of you guys in my mind and I think you need to change this. Charge 10$ more and send out a quality UV flashlight or get rid this junkie flashlight (that feels like it's sold at the 1$ store) and sell a quality flashlight separately at whatever price you need to. Charge me what you need to charge me and give a quality product.

Good quality

Me encanta esta resina, realmente es buena, me gustaría que la volvieran a vender ✨
