JDiction 400g UV Resin, New Formula Crystal Clear UV Resin Solar Cure Sunlight Activated Hard UV Resin Kit for Jewelry Making, Casting and Coating DIY Crafts

My go to UV resin for making syrup, dressing, gelatin top for cheesecakes or mimicking juicy meat for my food sculptures. It makes these parts more realistic. Good quality and dries fast. Watch out for overflow--meaning, don't apply too much at once because it can either run to the edges or turn too thick. I find silicone tools to be the safest to use to control where the resin lands, because you can clean these tools fast after you dry them under the UV light for 3 seconds. Overall, I love this brand because it mixes well with resin colorants, colored sand and glitters. It dries fast, with a good sheen and comes out leveled.

I use UV resin mostly with making badge reels. This is a cheaper brand but the quality is great. It has less bubbles than a lot of brands. Just please wear gloves and a respirator. Children, pets, and others should not be around you while doing this craft. You need to use this in an area away from everyone and it’s great to get a filter for the area. VOCs are serious and I recommend you look things up because some crafters who use social media to promote are not being very responsible. This is an amazing product and I’ve bought tons so far and will continue to use!

This is my favorite resin it is easy to use thick enough for durability but easy to work with and easy to clean up. Clarity is very clear

Works great the wife loves it

Update: JDiction customer service reached out to me. They were very nice and helpful. They offered to replace the resin stating it could’ve been a bad batch. It could’ve also just been me and I might be more sensitive to this product. Still a great product and I will continue to buy from them.The chemical smell from the “new formula” is unbearable and makes it very hard to work with even in a well ventilated room. I hardly noticed an odor from the original formula. I usually wear gloves but I had to wear a mask this time because my throat started to burn and I began to get light headed. I will probably have to start wearing goggles too because my eyes were starting to burn. Not sure if this is normal but with all the different brands of UV resin I’ve worked with this has never happened before. The odor seems a little excessive for a crafting resin.

I use quite a bit of UV resin because I do mixed media art. Like all resins successful outcomes requires experience with the resin. If you color it before you pour it you can see the air bubbles etc. Of course you have to "cook" it. Tried to cook it under large UV lights since I was trying to deep pour a piece which doesn't work. Time consuming because you dry it in layers. I cook it for 2-3minutes remove it from my mold turn it over to cook the other side....talking about small flowers trees etc. Did a large dragon piece-cooked it knowing I would not be successful-then poured off the underlying collection of resin which I used on other molds. Left a shell behind. Then I cooked the shell. The dragon had a few spots of breakage-repaired those spots. Quite successful. Nice lightweight dragon which can be mounted on canvas. When you first use it, uncolored, I found a fair amount of defects not filling to the edge of the mold. If you undercook (left soft and pliable) you can remove it from mold trim it up...finish cooking it. Next test-leave it undercooked and hand make a piece. Interesting resin. Messy. Good product.

Perfect for crafts! Loose and easy to use. Does come with a brush applicator but haven’t needed to use it. Very easy to cure with a UV light or leave it outside on a sunny day. Quality for the price.
