EasyPour Epoxy Resin Kit:16 OZ - 1:1 Ratio - Crystal Clear Resin and Hardener for Jewelry, DIY Art, Crafts, Tumblers, with 4 Mixing Sticks, Spreader, Instructions

I bought the small size in this resin because so many brands say that they are good for tumblers and despite some of them being very well known brands, they have left fisheyes and dimples. I mixed this, and I wasn't being particularly gentle. Yes, there were some bubbles, but I left it for 8 minutes and the bubbles pretty much disappeared, a spritz with alcohol wiped out the rest. The first layer on my tumber came out absolutely perfect (much to my surprise). It had set in 7 hours (it's warm at the moment in Australia), I did not have to sand between layers. The second and third layer were just as perfect as the first, no bubbles, no fisheyes and beautifully glossy and hard. The cup was finished in 2 days. The price was great and the resin was received very quickly. I was so impressed that I've already ordered a gallon of the resin. I can't recommend this highly enough, I'm sure even a novice tumbler maker would have no problems.

The EPE EasyPour Epoxy kit arrived on schedule and worked perfectly. I’ve used various self leveling epoxy products over the years to provide a clear, hard and easy to clean surface. In this case I was refinishing several 36" diameter high top tables for a local establishment. The final product met all the wishes of the establishment’s owner as well as my own expectations. A couple notes that may help new users.First, bubbles. Yes you can get bubbles in the epoxy after you’ve poured the product and it’s leveling. Remember that bubbles can form when the resin is poured over any porous surface. This includes wood, concrete and a lot more. To mitigate the problem the best option is to seal the surface first. Options for sealing wood, my projects, include use of a good oil-based polyurethane. A water-based product may work as well but I’ve used oil-based sealers as I am sealing over an oil based stain. Alternatively, you can also mix a smaller batch of the epoxy resin, pour it on the project surface and drag it out to seal the surface. Whatever sealing technique you use just make sure that the surface is well sealed. For polyurethane I generally use a minimum of 2 coats and have applied up to 4 coats if I know the wood is particularly porous. Removal of any bubbles that may now form in the final pour is easy, just add a little heat from a heat gun or hair dryer.Second, temperature. The EPE EasyPour Epoxy specifies at minimum temperature of 75̊F. When checking the temperature I’ve found that it’s best to check the temperature of the item to be epoxied as well as the air temperature. If you’ve had the project item stored in a different location at a lower temperature allow the item to come to a stable temperature of 75̊F before starting the pour. This helps ensure the best final product.The EPE EasyPour Epoxy on-line instructions are reasonable. The biggest deficiency I found was related to computing the volume of epoxy you’ll need for a project. In my cases, I’m working with flat surface tables, some relatively simple math will get you the appropriate volume. As a note, I always use metric measurements for the calculation of epoxy volumes as it’s overall a little easier to convert the surface area/volume for mL instead of ounces. Also, when I compute the required volume I generally add an additional 25 to 30% to cover the fact you can’t get all the epoxy out of the mixing container and there will inevitably be some material that will run over the side of the project surface and be lost. 1. Calculate Surface Area Circle: π r2, 3.14 x radius squared Rectangle: L x W, length x width 2. Calculate Project Volume Surface area x depth 3. An example: 36 inch diameter table top with an epoxy depth of 1/16" or 0.15 cm 36" diameter top = 90 cm diameter = 45 cm radius Pi, 3.14, times 45 squared, times depth; 3.14 x 2025 x 0.15 cm = 955 cubic cm, approximately. Add 25% for extra and you’ll need to mix about 625 mL of resin and 625 mL of hardener.

Made so many ash trays and rolling trays with this. Sold them for good money, easy instructions.

I believe this resin is an excellent value if you have experience using resin which I do. It cures faster, shines brighter, and dries just as hard. I am an Alumilite fan. However, I have used many other brands that were awesome as well. This resin bubbles like no other. Admittedly, I did not heat it because I did not wish to use yet another container for the small project. The bubbles were insane. I was laughing literally as I was mixing the components because colorful bubbles were rising into the atmosphere. Just hilarious. Anyway, I posted the picture so interested prospective buyers could see what you will get if you are not experienced enough to torch the heck out of your projects to remove the millions of bubbles. What you are looking at is the cured, spill over resin I had no need to torch that adhered to one of the cups I used to elevate a piece. Just wow! My projects look amazing; no cured bubbles at all. That is why I gave the product four stars overall. I fear beginners will be terrified because just a modicum of pre-use research on YT will inform them, they are in real danger of burning their resin or setting something in their home on fire, as I did in the early days, because of the heat needed to eradicate the bubbles. Be careful!

I would say this is a bit more of an advanced resin. It can be hard to work with but once you figure it out it's great. I do have trouble getting rid of the micro bubble sometimes bc it sets so fast but I still love it. My pieces come out crystal clear as long as I stir for about 5 to 8 mins and stir slowly in big circle motions.

I have tried many brands. I always come back to EPE. EPE never fails me. I love the ease of mixing and with a little heat bubbles disappear. My projects turn out beautifull very time.

I've bought this resin 62 times I believe it said. I keep buying it because it is predictable. When mixed exactly 1:1 ratio for 5 min I get minimal bubbles that come right out with one pass of the heat gun. Always pleased. I'll continue to buy.

I thought I'd give this a shot since it costs less that what I usually use and wanted to try it. All I can say is...you get what you pay for! I have had to redo a project TWICE because of the amount of bubbles the mix produces even after it has set for a while and looks clear. It's super thick after mixing so bubbles don't get much of a chance to escape. You MUST degas the mix before pouring! If you don't have a vacuum pump, don't bother with this. You MUST use a vacuum pump to degas this. I've been making epoxy projects for years, my fault for trying to save a buck.

Cure very well no soft spots if mixed well and amount 1:1

The media could not be loaded.  I got this because the price was right and I needed something that can be for big and small projects. Extra mixing cups and a silicone spatula/spreader is a bonus. I was quite pleased to see that there wasn't much bubbles at all after mixing, that's making sure resin and hardener are at the right temperature beforehand. Cures in the time it's supposed to, no issues at all. I didn't smell any harsh odors, just a small amount but that's normal. I also was trying out a new mold and I love how it turned out. Overall, this resin is nice to work with. The price is right for a 1L kit with the bonus cups and tools. I will definitely recommend this.

I loved the product just make sure you pour enough Epoxy to do the job. I had to do it twice. On this project lol.
