JDiction 1000g UV Resin, Ultra Clear Advanced Resins Solar Cure Hard UV Resin Kit for Jewelry Making, Casting and Coating & DIY Crafts

Only brand of UV resin I buy and I LOVE the high viscosity as much as the low viscosity as much as the new formula which is sort of the middle viscosity variant. Also, the high gloss is superb. This high viscosity is perfect for doming and also for keeping inclusions suspended better while curing. The foil flakes or chunky glitters don’t sink to the bottom of molds as quickly. It does take a bit longer to cure than regular or low viscosity and trapped bubbles are harder to get to the surface, but placing the bottle with the cap securely on tight into a bowl of warm water for a few minutes allows the bubbles to escape easier when poured into the mold. That also decreases, temporarily, the viscosity so keep that in mind if adding inclusions. Rate of curing is increased so getting a more powerful UV lamp or using full sun is recommended. This also has a more noticeable smell while curing but it’s not overwhelming to me, I have a horrible sense of smell though, so that’s a matter of personal opinion. I love the entire JDiction line of UV and epoxy resins and recommend any of them for any project.

Better than Bondic because:Much stronger than bondic.It dries clear. Bondic is like an amber crappy color.This creates a much stronger, harder to break seal.It's cheaperIt comes with WAY MORE resin. Like WAYYYYY moreif you've used bondic you know what a pain their applicators can be. Bondic applicators gets difficult to apply as they start to empty. But the precise tip is needed sometimes)So i even filled up my empty-ish bondic applicators. (I mixed the two because who cares? I sure don't but if there's any issues, I'll come back and update this... actually i probably won't. I have no doubt it'll work fine. They're both uv resin)The tip of this product allows for much more coverage (be cautious of over applying. Apply a little, cure it quickly, then apply another layer, cure it, on so on) Otherwise this stuff will come pouring out.Have your UV light ready (with bondic too! Any uv resin) just have it ready. And make sure you don't accidentally shine your UV light on the applicator as you attempt to cure each layer. (I did this with bondic at least 10 times. I would apply some and aim the uv light, then attempt to apply again before i moved the light, or accidentally just held the light on the exposed tip. It sucks.)I use this for fixing things, not making jewlry.Sometimes if i have to glue something that is difficult to hold until the glue dries (just as an example, an arm on a vinyl figure.) I'll cover the surfaces (that I'm going to bond) with the glue, and then add uv resin around the edges (of course it ends up mixing with the glue but so far that has not caused an issue)This way i can cure the resin and set the item down as the glue cures. (I'm impatient and there's nothing worse than trying to hold two tiny surfaces together that keeps slipping. It's maddening)This method makes works every time so far. It's awesomeThen you can peel or pick at any resin that globbed up from the surfaces if needed without disturbing the glue bond (hopefully. Be careful)I'm very pleasantly surprised with this product. It'sinteresting that bondic used an inferior, weaker bonding resin, with an ugly color, and a crappy applicator... the creator said he had the idea because he's a dentist and uses uv resin for teeth. 🙄 uv resin has been around for years and I'm pretty sure he wasn't the first person to use it to fix somethingTHIS IS NOT A GLUE. YOU CANNOT GLUE WITH THIS.THIS. IS. NOT. A. GLUE... for crying out loud people.And if you need to bridge a gap between the two surfaces, make a quick tiny "string" from one side to the other, cure it fast before the "string" collapses then add another "string". Cure and then you should have a foundation you can use to hold up more resin. Just build up tiny layers. And extend the uv resin further past the two surfaces. The bond works better with more surface to grab.If you use this as a glue, then you deserve what will happen. Simply use this to hold the surfaces that have glue. It's that simpleNo need for pictures. It's a resin.

I have been making badge reels for three years now. I tried a few other UV resins and have been a committed consumer now to JDiction! It is easy to work with and holds up really well. I have no complaints from customers telling me that the resin yellows. I highly recommend this product!!

AMENDED review: JDiction (Sophie) reached out to me and replaced my order. It works beautifully! Love this product and definitely recommend it. Their customer service is outstanding.All 3 bottles are very thick and hard to spread. I did read it could do this if in a cold environment but I live in Texas where it’s already in the 90’s.

Update: customer service contacted me and sent a replacement. Wonderful customer service.They changed the formula, it’s incredibly thick, and remains tacky no matter how long exposed to uv light.Unfortunately I waited too long to open it and missed my return window.

Resina UV espectacular, mis collares de orquídeas naturales resinadas quedan fascinantes con este producto, muy fácil su secado, y un toque brillante y claro

Jdiction is the best resin I’ve used. Love it! Doesn’t yellow, smooth as glass. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I use this product for making rings. It's high viscosity makes easy to decorate the ring blanks wout sliding all over the place
