Teexpert Deep Pour Epoxy Resin, 1.5 Gallon Epoxy Resin Kit for 2-4" Pour Depths, Crystal Clear & High Gloss, Bubble-Free Casting Resin for River Tables, Flower Preservation and Mold Crafts - 2:1 Mix

Haven't poured it yet, but my unboxing experience was awesome. I went from thinking about marking measurement lines on an old bucket and ordering stir attachments for the drill, to finding 4 precisely measured mixing cups and a sturdy mixing attachment, plus an extra half gallon. This kit is a luxury for beginners like me with the inclusion of the necessary start up needs. In my limited experience, most other kits didn't include hardware and were more dollars per ounce. this is a value per dollar steal and the way to go for someone who hasn't invested a bunch of money into the hobby already.

For me, this is a super clear, easy-to-use resin. It is a deep pour so thinner than the faster curing ones. But I often use it for intricate molds as well. It has a long working time, in my climate right now close to an hour maybe a bit longer. Also, it will cure up to de-mold quicker if the mold is placed on a heat mat or in a curing machine. I have used paste dyes, micas, and pigments with it and the colors come out beautiful. It really is my go-to when I have a detailed mold, of course for deep pours and it works well with a syringe with a blunt needle or pipette as well.

I like this resin though it does run a bit thicker than some brands. It is easy to control and use due to that. The cure time seems on par as does the durability. The quality of the finished products is excellent. I found it easy to mix and the bubbles went away with my bubble remover.

I got this to make some giant dice, that I may make into a lamp of sorts. I have poured a couple of these now. Mixing is easy but slow if you don't have a way to remove bubbles (I do not). To mix it until all of the wisps disappear, it took almost 10 minutes of mixing. Note that I haven't tried the included mixer, so maybe that would make it faster. But the included mixer is too big for the included measuring cups! My first large dice I tried to use alcohol inks, which I have used in normal depth resin in the past. With this, because the cure is so SLOW (expect 36-48 hours before demolding, if you want it to be successful). Due to that, the colors fully mixed and turned into a puke green. Not pleasant. The second attempt was using mica powders, and I expected less blend. But again, due to the incredibly slow cure, they cully mixed. Luckily the mica powders still look nice, but wasn't the swirl of colors I wanted. So looking into it more, I should wait for the resin to partially cure before pouring. However, I would need to probably wait at least 6-8 hours after mixing to pour, because testing the leftover resin while I was waiting, I felt like the resin was still very liquid at 6 hours after mixing. So this would take quite a bit of planning and hoping, but I might still try it next time. Overall, the resin did cure well, and resulted in nice dice. They were just not what I wanted from a color perspective.

Works great!!! Would purchase again.
