JDiction UV Resin, Upgrade 300g High Viscosity Hard UV Resin with Crystal Clear Resins Kit for Doming, Sealing, Coating, and Casting

Way better than bondic
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.

Great Value w/Solid, Hard Finish after Curing
I have been using this UV Resin for several years and I highly recommend! Cures quickly each and every time. It consistently is durable with a solid, hard finish every time after curing. Very versatile as well…I use for jewelry, ornaments, bookmarks, etc.

Easy to Use, Long to Cure
Arrived as two (2) bottles with covers and pour spouts. Although the bottles look small, they are able to go a long distance for a good number of small projects. Personally, I used them to cover NFC tags onto promotional goods for work. Resin pours smooth and crystal clear but had lots of fine bubbles. Because I had an NFC tag under the resin, personally chose not to expose to flame to remove and the end product still looked of good quality. My only reason for the 4 stars is that it took exceptionally long to cure. The instructions said it may be sticky and to use ice water; that method did not work for me at all and I ended up with a few finger printed products. The best method was a large lamp that I could leave items under for a longer period of time. That resulted in absolutely no sticky residue. Would recommend for first time resin products, small projects or specific larger projects that have a means of curing.

Lo bum
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.

Definitely one of the best of the best. I’ve used this for maybe around a year (or more) now and I still have the pieces I’ve used this on and its still clear with no sign of yellowing. Just ordered the 500g version and cant wait to make stuff with it! Definitely recommend!

JD UV living up to expectations with this product. The overall product look is more professional. It does take a practiced hand to keep everything clean.

I really like this resin, will definitrly reorder in future. I have made some cute charm in time for X’mas.
