TotalBoat Clear Acrylic UV Resin Kit with UV Cure Light - 200g | UV Resin Glue for Coating, Casting & Bonding; Ideal for DIY Crafts, Resin Molds & Wood; Hardens with UV Light or Sunlight;

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 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!

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.

I’ve used this on two projects so far. Walmart adjusted the frames of my glasses and cracked the bow. Even though they did it and the glasses were less than a year old, they refused to replace the bow or frames. I used the product on the crack and it worked well. I rotated the bow so that the liquid would sort of even out on all sides without making a big bump on the surface. It’s been two weeks now and the crack has not redeveloped. The second project involved completing the addition of a wa style Japanese knife handle I made for my grandson. I used it to seal the top interface of the tang to the wa to make the knife food safe. The only problem I has was with the UV flashlight included with the kit did not work the second time I used it. I was able to fix it by removing the AAA battery pack and straightening the led contact spring which had bent an got caught under the tube flange. That is a bad engineering design.

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

The UV resin in this kit is good! The included flashlight is cheap, not very bright, and might not give you a full cure on its own. (you can take partially cured items outside and finish curing them in the sun if needed) 200g is a good amount to give you an idea if you want to keep using UV resin. I just wish Total Boat offered this resin in a larger size without the need to buy the cheap flashlight each time. Fortunately, several other vendors do sell UV resin in larger quantities. (Kisrel is the one I am currently using) I would offer one word of caution: Don't mix two brands of liquid UV resin together. If the viscosity is not exactly the same it will make a visible swirl. Maybe that is desirable for you, if so, carry on you rebel! Layering different brands of cured resin does not have any issues that I have noticed. As with any epoxy resin, a few brief passes with a heat gun or a torch flame will help to eliminate bubbles from the surface. Until Total Boat offers this resin in larger bottles, this is an okay starter kit. It will get the job done but the flashlight isn't great and 200g of resin will only cover so much.

It is solid product, but the led light included is not powerful enough to set it all the way. Even affer holding the light for 10 minutes it was still soft and or gooey... But curing in the sun it the best way. You can use the included light to set the position for whatever you're doing and then final cure in the sun. But super happy with the results! It is crystal clear and pour slower to minimize bubbles and you're good. Also shipping speed was nice.

Good quality

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